Puppy Love

As the proud (and frequently over-whelmed) mama of Max, our 130 lb Yellow Lab/Donkey mix, I am happy to have come up with some fun doggie products for our four-legged BFFs. I call it my Birch Bark line and it is dedicated to the gentle, soothing, tender care of our pups.

I was so flattered and happy to get to send a Puppy Pack to Carrie~Gigi at Under the Willow a few weeks ago. Then came an order from Trisha at Suds to Love. It's extra special to send orders to my blog-friends because I think they are so super sweet, funny & talented. You can read the extra generous blog post that C~G wrote about her order here.

So here are a couple of items from the line. I offer Birch Bark Dog Wash in 5 great scents. Perfect Pooch is a great blend of Rosemary & Peppermint. Then we have the New England Sampler with a nod to this great part of the country. Those fragrances include: Nantucket Hound, Portland Pointer (could apply to all of you sweeties in the NW, too!) Green Mountain Rover & Fenway Fever Retriever. (GO SOX!!) The wash is gentle on the skin and eyes of our pooches. Although, I wouldn't wash near their eyes just in case!

Shake! is a great Dry Dog Shampoo. It's perfect for a quick freshen up for your dog. It's an All Natural blend of botanicals & EO's. You'll enjoy some great quality time as you shake it on and rub it all over your Rover. :) Wait a couple of minutes and brush/vacuum it off and he/she's smelling sweet and needing a treat! They are all on Etsy and ready to pamper your pup!!

Under the Willow Love & the Pedi Winner

I have never met Carrie~Gigi from Under the Willow Gifts in person, but I know for sure that she is one of the nicest ladies around. Her words of encouragement and excitement jump out and give the reader a huge hug. Her talent runs full spectrum from her gorgeous Billows to her amazing soaps to her great talent as a blog writer on Under the Willows. She is kind and warm and I love every message I get from her.

Today I cued up her blog, like I always do, and was shocked to see that the topic was... me! Ok, actually it wasn't all about me, it was about some Birch Bark Dog Shampoo that she ordered from Etsy. Her words were so kind and wonderful! I'm still pink from blushing and excitement! And I'm not the only one blushing! Max the dog (our 3 year old yellow lab) has a huge crush on her ever-so-delicate Bella-Cinderella! Make sure you check out Under the Willow Gifts and Mud Puddle Girl, her adorable line for little girls. Here's the link to Mud Puddle Girl the blog Much love Carrie~Gigi! Thank you for adding so much to my bubble fun!

So, now for the winner of the Tingle Pedi Kit! In my very un-scientific way, I found the winner by taking 4+4 (4/4 was the date I was supposed to announce, but we'll be in rainy Boston on a field trip with Austen's class) so that's 8 and I counted to the 8th comment on the Pedi Post.
So, the winner is gracefruit! I get to send my pedi kit to Scotland! If you haven't read gracefruit's blog, click here and lay your eyes on some gorgeous soap!!! Here's the link to her site for her Longcroft Soap Company. Gracefruit, leave me your address in the comments box and I'll send the kit along!! I wish I could come with it! :)
