🎉Congratulations🎉 to the winner of our Christmas Giveaway, the deserving Mandy at Hungry Dogs of Tepuke. 🐾🎄 Mandy dedicates her time to local dog training, grooming and canine hydrotherapy. She also runs Hungry Dogs of Tepuke which involves rescuing dogs from a bad situation, de-sexing and rehoming. This incredible woman gives her own money and time to help the community feed animals in need and homes these dogs herself until they can find their perfect forever home. Although so many deserving dog parents, we really wanted to send some Christmas cheer to her and her 3 very own power breed rescues Balby, Bruce and Manaia. Thank you Tracey for her nomination, we love to hear about such great people. Merry Christmas Mandy! Earnie and Odin said keep up your amazing and much needed work. 🎄🐾🤍

🎄🎉Christmas Giveaway 🎉🎄The reality is that it’s been a tough year for so many, so we want to pay it forward. It’s super simple, just tag the best dog mum or dad you know and tell us why they deserve a wee treat. Thats it! We will pick a winner on Sunday 17th Dec and send them one of our lead and collar combos along with some La Dolce Vita Merch to bring some Christmas cheer. 🎅🤶 NZ fur parents only!

It’s no secret that autumn is our favourite time of the year. With the warm days and cool nights, we felt inspired to bring to you our latest bandana “Mustard Dreams” - made with a warm mahogany coloured corduroy and backed with gingham linen. Using only the finest of textures. Made to order and custom tailored. PM to order yours today. 💛🍂🍁

Not all our photoshoots turn out so well….. I was trying to get some majestic pictures in the autumn leaves with Earnies collar, but someone had a different idea! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ Rest assured, hopefully we can get some more content soon! 🍂🍁💛

Not only do we love pretty collars and bandanas, we love practical. Hilda the Weimaraner has recently come back from the “roar” (for our town folk, that’s the ideal NZ deer hunting time), in her custom made double fleece lined jacket. Faced with negative temperatures, her jacket helped provide additional warmth in the evenings and early mornings. Quick drying and productive, we love being able to help her out. If you have something in mind, no matter the job- just reach out. 💚

💕 All That Glitters 💕 I mean who doesn’t love a little bit of bling…. Latest collar out now.✨

23/03/2023

Although our main model and inspiration Earnie is a total chunky monkey, La Dolce Vita LOVES all dogs. No matter the shape or size; we are inclusive. We can personalise our products to make it work for you and your littlest loves. I mean how could we not….. sweet girl Bella. 🥹💕🌸

I’ve been a bit quiet on the socials and the truth is, I think I just needed a break.

Dealing with the festive madness, markets and life in general. I decided to allow myself some time. It’s been so important to restore some balance and reflect on how far things have come and the amazing people I have met.

It’s taken such a long time to put myself out there, anyone who knows me knows how scary that was (I’m my own toughest critic). But I remind myself, everything is handmade by me, from my home outside my normal life and job.

I love this hobby and passion, sewing for all our beautiful fur babies. Fills my cup. I’ve realised it’s important to take risks, celebrate the wins and learn from the losses.

Honestly my heart is full with love from the support of you amazing friends, long may it continue. 💛 I will be back in the next couple weeks with some fun new summery collars and bandanas. For now I leave you with a picture of my fur baby Earnie enjoy his summertime fun. 💛☀️🌊 🇳🇿

Like I’m not busy enough 🙈, I couldn’t help but commit to doing a market stall at the Clyde Twilight Markets on 09.12.2022. I love Christmas and I’m pretty excited to get festive! 🎄 Last chance to pick up your Xmas goodies from me before I give myself a wee break till the new year. Support local and pop down for Xmas shopping, yummy treats and good old sing along! If you local, would be a great evening and I would love to see some familiar faces! 🎄🤍

This is a fundraising event in which the Clyde PTA hope to make annual. This year the money raised goes towards refurbishing the Junior School playground which is in much need of upgrading and new equipment.

The PTA and Clyde Primary School Students will be organizing some fair games, selling hot dogs, mulled wine and cold drinks and hosting a silent auction. There will be a raffle, carol singing and a Santa's Grotto with professional photos taken by Lisa Hill Photography.

Join the festivities and come on down. 🎄
