At last, a delivery success story!
I dropped these dog collars off at Evri Sunday morning and I go these lovely photos from a happy customer Monday afternoon.
Massive thank you to owner Denise for sending me these gorgeous photos.
Gladys is wearing her new rainbow collar and Granville's is Shiny Blue and Teal. Stunning!

PICTURE FOR ATTENTION!!!
Hi everyone, I hope you're all managing to keep cool in this weather.
I haven't posted for a few days because I've been trying to work out how to best manage my 2 pages, as I find myself trying to think what to put where and ending up doing nothing!
I've decided to merge them both and change the way I post a little. I've had a bit of advice from someone, plus looked at the way my various posts perform and it seems that people quite like to see actual photos and stories of animals wearing things, as opposed to just boring photos!
So I'm going to start putting little stories about me, my dog and my horse, as well as showing you where I work and the general chaos that is my life!
I think a lot of horse owners have dogs and vice versa and most of my Browbands can be made as dog collars in exactly the same patterns and colours so it makes sense to put them o the same page.
It's not going to happen overnight but I'm going to give it a go, and would welcome any interaction, questions, feedback etc.
By way of introduction, the above photo is me and my horse, Azucena - Azi for short - at a fun ride last weekend. Azi is sporting a CR*P strap in Purple and Silver, which I made to match my LeMieux Blackcurrent saddle pad.

I thought I’d see what my dog loving customers think of this?
I made this browband for a customer but it’s had so many likes, I thought I’d put it on my Matchy Dogs page, as it can easily be made as a dog collar too!

I thought I'd show some photos to demonstrate how the same 3 colours can be used differently.
The original colours are Lilac with a Lilac print.
All 3 collars are the XOXO pattern and all 3 have the Lilac print as the "X" but I have changed the edge and middle colours around and used White and Purple as well.
Which one do you prefer?

27/06/2022

Trying out little videos to help describe the patterns and colours.
I am so in love with these colours!
I'm no Steven Spielberg but I'd love to know if you find them interesting 😀

DRUMROLL!!

I can now take payment by card, as well as BACS.
I have dragged myself into the modern world and enrolled with SumUp. I can send a link via text, WhatsApp, Messenger, you name it to make payment really easy and relatively pain free!!

I have a new range of dog collars, to hopefully cover most dog sizes.
I usually make them to order in custom sizes but as I am now stocking collars in a local shop and at some local shows, I thought I'd make some in standard but adjustable sizes.
SMALL: 10" - 13" £15
MEDIUM: 14" - 17" £17.50
LARGE: 18" - 21" £20
They can be seen at Fairycrafters in Woodhall Spa, or please feel free to message me if you'd like something made to measure in your own colours.

Another Drumroll for Matchy Dogs!
I spent an eventful and frustrating afternoon today, trying to overcome my lack of technology skills and set up my new credit card reader.
Eventually, several expletives later, I looked on YouTube and realised that I'd downloaded the wrong app and once I found the right one, it worked straight away!
SO I can now take card payments over the phone, if it makes it easier for people to place an order.

Drumroll!
I have just started to rent a space in a shop in Woodhall Spa, so do please pop along to view - and hopefully buy - some of my items.
I have a selection of Dog Collars and matching leads, in various sizes, plus some pocket money items like key rings and bracelets.
Here is a link to the shop, plus some photos of the items I have on sale.

Just love this set I made for a customer recently.
I usually use the Silver Print as a secondary colour but this time I've made it as the main one.
This is a Thin Strip, with a double strip in Black and a matching Lead.

Welcome to my new page, Matchy Dogs.
I've set this page up to run alongside my Matchy Browbands page, as not all my Doggie customers are remotely interested in horses!
I'll post pictures on here, as well as my other pages but please Like and Follow both.
I will shortly be taking on a space in a local craft shop, so I will post photos of the stock that's available there soon.
Please feel free to message me as usual to place an order, or use the website:
