After a long drive to the Midlands, updating a website and fiddling with listings, the Cancer Care Bandanas and Ties are now up on the website!

I want to thank you for your patience as this collection is anxiety inducing, especially since the proceeds are going to such a great cause.

Again extra donations are optional and there is no obligation for anyone to give any more. Don't forget you can also request other colours, rather than the Lavender, if you would like your accessory to support a specific cancer type. ❤️

We attended an absolutely gorgeous wedding of two close friends last week, but Ol didn't have a tie to match my dress.

So I did what any crazy person would do. I made him one 🤭
I salvaged some curtains out of my donated hoard and it was a success. Before we went he said 'I'll tell everyone you made them, but I'm not saying they're made from old curtains'

Well he had so many compliments, he bragged about those 'old curtains' all day and night 🙈

There are so many Mama and Me possibilities, but I've suddenly got an itch. Daddy and Me may not be far away. Matching ties/bowties could be coming for Father's Day and possibly to our wedding collection! Let me know what you think?!

If you want to enquire or even want a set like the one above, my inbox is open.

Now I'm off to make another tie for this week's wedding 😅❤️

Here's our golden boy modeling 'Pup Art' (names are a work in progress) in the new style bandana. He's wearing a size Medium but is definitely a Large. This is held together with a clip for photographic purposes only 🤣 I underestimated the boys jowls 🤭

Don't forget to enter our giveaway to see if you can snap up one of these new bandanas. Plus keep your eyes open for more little peeks at what they are like 💚

'OK Google, How many sheep are there in Switzerland?'
'Switzerland has approximately 470,000 sheep'

Well there's a few more heading that way today. Still very grateful for the orders slowly trickling in and it was so lovely making a piece from one of the OG Collection again.

'The Grass is Always Greenberg is available in an ID collar, martingale, standard collar (shown above) and with additional matching trim. Soon to be adding leads for the ultimate matching set 🐑💚

It may not have been the day that I hoped for but I couldn't have done it without some amazing friends. Thank you to everyone that came and took part.

Keeping the chin up and putting plans together for Pontypridd next month. There will be some new and exciting things coming which we will showcase at our next event 🤭

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend ❤️

His Royal Highness Iago is hoping you'd be able to join us this weekend at a family fundraiser in Ystradgynlais. This is a local event and it would be amazing to see familiar and new faces if you are free 🤭

We've got an amazing new interactive photobooth for you to enjoy,. Unfortunately dogs can't attend, but it'll be kitted out with some fun costumes and accessories, including the cloak Iago is wearing. If you take any photos in our booth on the day, don't forget to tag us on social media. There may be a few surprises for the best ones ☺️

The funds are being raised to help maintain the fields it's being held on and there will be so many amazing activities, shows and other stalls for you to enjoy. The weather is looking good too, so it will be a fabulous weekend all round ❤️

It's been a little while since I've made a tote bag and now I'm questioning myself why I haven't advertised them as much 🫣

Super lightweight waterproof material, with a small pocket. Totally customisable and reversible too! Ideal for little day trips, storing a soggy longline or even a bit of local shopping 🤭

We'll be at Ystradgynlais Summer Fundraiser on 13th July, where I'll have a few made up and ready for you to nab!

Crazy to think that these bucket hats are still my best sellers 😳

I added them to my business on a whim and as a little bit of fun, not realising that they would soon be flying off the shelves. I've had four bucket hat orders this week alone.

It's been a bumpy ride, but things are looking up ❤️

Today marks two years since we lost Tucker; the pup behind the business. It still feels surreal that I don't have my soul dog by my side, but he'll forever be my reason why ❤️

Business has definitely been up and down this first half of 2024. Battling with a lot of things, including imposter syndrome, has put me so far behind when I said I didn't want to be in that place again.

I had an order come through for a collar from The Legacy Collection. Getting it made up and sent off today, of all days, feels like I'm being sent a message. A sign that everything is going to be okay ❤️

Disappearing is becoming a little too easy when everything becomes overwhelming. I'm only human and I'm really trying.

But I'm here to tell you that our first in-person event of the year is this Sunday at BarkFest. If you have time and live in South Wales, a trip to Cothi Showground might just be what the doctor ordered. It's looking to be a fabulous day out.

I'll primarily be showcasing my Zero Waste Products; with loads of unique collars, paw cloths and blankets. There'll also be premade collars and bow ties and if I get a chance I will showcase some new styles I want to bring out.

Now, for the most exciting part .... I will also be bringing a couple of my beds, including my personal one in the brand new design I've been teasing you all with 🤭

If you're popping by and you'd like to see anything else, drop me a message and I will bring a sample along ❤ ️

We're currently out of office until Friday enjoying a little family break ☺ ️

The parcel behind Bryn was something that had been keeping me busy for the last few weeks! Last week, I finally sent off my biggest order to date; a number of waterproof bed covers heading to a veterinary clinic in Scotland. I'm hoping they will keep any future patients very comfortable.

I can't wait to get back from this little refresh and start on some exciting new projects and prep for our first event of the year!

18/05/2024

Just one of my all time favourite prints heading to a new home 🏠 New bed covers are very popular at the moment 🤭

Apologies for the radio silence. Things have gotten a little crazy over here... and I'm missing all your posts. I've got a couple of updates to reveal to you all very soon.

Have a lovely weekend everyone ❤️

In honour of National Earth Day, here's a little look at another martingale.
Created with one of earth's most incredible natural material; h**p and adorned with one of natures most beautiful creatures 🦋

Hope everyone has a wonderful week and spends as much time in the great outdoors as possible 🤭

Throwback to our holiday two years ago when our Little T was still with us. This wasn't too long after I started Tucks Treasure Trove and I made sure that the boys were kitted out in at least one of my own products 🤭

Tucker wore the Grass in Always Greener collar from the OG Collection and it is still one of my favourites. The colour green and sheep is a winning combination in my eyes 🐑

This print is available in every style of fabric collar and hopefully soon to be leads too 🤞

I think it's time that Iago is kitted out in his own Triple T collar. I might just have to let him pick his own!

When I brought out my cork accessories last year, I knew it would be a huge gamble. Sometimes, people just aren't ready for change. So I let it be. I kept all the products listed and told myself, if someone really wanted it, then they would buy it.

Well it's happened. This beautiful cork ID collar is on its way to a new home. 😍

This eco-friendly alternative to leather and vegan leather, is just what the environment needs. It's also extremely lightweight, hypoallergenic and water-resistant. And if by chance it breaks you can pop it into your compost bin to be returned to the land it came from.

Hopefully this year, I will teach myself some leather working skills to create more gorgeous things with cork and my shop can go up a step in sustainability and style ❤️

"The love of my dog is worth every dog hair, every muddy paw print, every early morning, and every dollar spent" 🐾
- Unknown

Here's a little reminder that we sell muddy paw cloths for those times you need a little clean up and carrying a towel is overkill. Our cloths are 20cmx20cm and made from antibacterial h**p towelling and cotton offcuts.

Each cloth comes with its own mini carabiner, so on your next adventure, you can just clip and go.

Take the lead and I'll follow you wherever the adventure may take us.

I don't advertise our leads very often and quite frankly they have taken a backseat at the moment. Once I've established all my current plans, I am hoping to ensure that matching leads are available for all of our collars by the end of the year.

Please get in touch if you'd like to purchase a lead, whether it's webbing or rope, waterproof or fabric. I'd love to bring your wishes to life ❤️

"To transform into something beautiful takes work and faith"
- Unknown

I went digging in my scrap box today and knew this print was next on my list. Normally, I'd play it safe and make a collar or some paw cloths, but this fabric deserved more that that.

If you join me for my events in the Summer, there will be a chance to snap up this new style martingale, amongst many others.

Sally Sheep has had her eye lift 🐑
Not quite perfect but so much better than it was before!

We've got our first event booked for early June, so expect to see a handle of these bandanas alongside some of our Autumn themed ones too!

What shall we do for our next theme? ❤️

Always trust the process ✨

They are far from perfect, but I'm so happy with my first attempt at pushing out of my comfort zone. I'm impressed at how well I stuck to my initial drawings. Though I can definitely see eyes and placement are my weakness 👀 Luckily Sally Sheep will be getting an eye lift later today 😂

Hopefully, I will be making more of these and have the chance to improve my skills 🤞

Have the last few weeks killed me off? ✅
Am I mentally and physically exhausted? ✅
Do I have a to-do list longer than the Great Wall of China? ✅✅✅

I make it no secret that things can get very overwhelming for me, and sometimes I feel stupid for opening a small business when I'm just scraping by in life. But at the same time, when I have amazing customers, who give me my currently rare orders, it fills me with a sense of hope that I can do this.

While I'm on top of orders, my planned list is a mile long and I'm racing to get things done. I am determined to get three things done before the end of the month;
- Finalise our new coats for testing and hopefully have an early April launch 🤞
- Get the remaining animals completed for our Easter bandana launch! I mean look at this rooster 😍
- And finally, get our Charity raffle, officially up and running with the chance to win one of our new dog beds and many more prizes (if you'd like to donate a prize, please get in touch)

So please stick with me, while I document a tough and busy week and see if I can get my s**t together 😅

Now this is a P.O.D. that I want to join 😜

Do you and your crew spell out anything fun? What would you name the pup that would turn your team into a fun word?

My boys (Oliver included) spell B.O.I.L. but I don't know if I'd have it engraved on a piece of jewellery any time soon 😅

Thank you for trusting me to make this lovely waterproof matching set for you 💚

Another recent order coming in hot (pink) 💕

I haven't made a Cerberus Double Lead for a little while and I enjoyed making this little pink number! Our leads are perfect for walking two dogs at the same time, with a handle in the middle.
Or one, with the lead looped snuggly around the waist.
OR one pup, with the lead attached to both the collar and harness. The possibilities are endless.

I'm going to be adding an optional upgrade to the Cerberus lead with the choice to add a second handle with one attachment point near one end. This can be used as a built-in traffic handle and the lead can also be turned into a two metre lead when clipped to the single D-ring to make a handle!

I'd love to know your thoughts 🤔
