After being completely snowed in here yesterday....meaning our road was closed all day...all of your orders have been delivered to the post office. You should all have gotten your tracking numbers by now for orders. I was made aware several times that the website still working as of today. Apparently, they are giving a few extra days as a "grace" period as I mentioned before. As long as it is still operative and will accept your orders, yes, you can place one and have it filled. That's all I know at this point.

01/09/2024

All collar orders are finished. However, due to the weather here, they can't be taken to the post office until tomorrow. Sorry for the delay!

01/07/2024

A final reminder that today should be the last day to get any orders in from the website. My contract ends tomorrow with the website producers. So unless there is a possible "grace" period of a day or two after expiration, which I've heard sometimes occurs, today is it.

Once again, thank you all for the orders...I'm working on them. I certainly hope to see many of you "online" people at an event this year!

Some news on the collar business front! I was going to stop doing the collars via the website in 2023, but then decided to keep it going. As many of you know, I had to have a knee revision done about a month ago. It went well, but the real healing process takes quite a while. Also, I will need an ankle surgery after the knee is stable enough. At this point the website and sewing all the collars has gotten to be more than I can handle comfortably. It's time to slow down.

THEREFORE, I have definitely decided I need to eliminate doing the collars via a website. For some reason, lost packages have really increased even though I send them with tracking numbers. That alone causes me ANXIETY!, lol. Then I end up redoing orders and sending new ones out because I feel so badly that people are waiting. Not my fault nor the customer's, but they almost always end up getting two orders....one of them free. Just one issue of several that frustrates the heck out of me. NO business is without rewards and pitfalls. I've certainly enjoyed the "rewards" part!

I will continue participating in shows and festivals in 2024, so MANY of you will still be able to get your collar "fix!"

Those of you who would like to place any orders MUST have them in by this Sunday, January 7th, 2024. Short notice I know, but that's when the site is up for renewal.

THANKS TO YOU ALL, for your continued support of the business, whether it's been via website or in person at shows. See you at the festivals!

HOLIDAY PUP PICS!
How about posting some of your Christmas Pup pics under this post

12/06/2023

Thanks to so very many of you for all the well wishes on the knee issue! All went great...(I think!) I'm back at sewing collars and getting your orders out. I'm right kneed,🤣So sewing is going a bit slower but it's all good. Festival of Trees in Maryland was awesome. I wish we could stay for the tree auction at the end on Saturdays, but it's wild trying to pack up the booth to get out of there before the attendees come in for that portion of the event. Those Grinch collars were something to sell this year for the first time! I made DOZENS of them, just for that show and came home with only three! Between those and the pinecone collars, I was amazed as they were the absolute favorites. But then again, it's that way with those pinecones every single year that I make them. And add a bow to them and they're over the top elegant for those Holiday pics!
OK....back to the machine for me. Thanks once again!

If you are planning to order any collars soon, just an FYI...I will be having knee surgery (again, ugh) on 11/29. This means that if you place an order from 11/28 until approximately 12/7, I won't be able to be complete your order until around the 7th of December. So get them in asap. Thank-you!

Hey all! I have one more new collar to add to the Christmas category. I'm going to give one away, along with a matching bow to one of you who correctly guesses the main theme/design of the fabric. Those of you who correctly guess the "theme" will have your name put into the drawing. ONE GUESS PER PERSON TO KEEP IT FAIR! Let's play until this Wednesday at midnight. I might add that I can only make these in the 3/4 or 1" Widths. I will post a picture of the new collar and add it to the website on Thursday along with the winner's name on this FB page.
Put your one guess in the "comments" section of this post. (Just to see if you're paying attention, you get a "bonus" entry if you tag a friend along with the correct guess!)

For all you Founders Crossing Artisan & Vintage Market Place shoppers....I filled a corner rack in our booth with Christmas and Thanksgiving bow collars yesterday. Get them while you can!

11/08/2023

What a FUN weekend it was at Autumn Glory!
Just because I can, let me run through a couple things.

First I got a $5 "TIP" from a really sweet young guy just because I was friendly and answered a couple basic questions about collar size....amazing!

Second, I was able to return 2 jugs of maple syrup to a super sweet lady who left them on my table in the booth yesterday. She showed up this morning to buy yet more collars and I was so tickled that I could return her syrup. It bothered me to no end last night!

Third, I did sell an amazing amount of collars once again this year there thanks to all you loyal "collar peeps!"

Now onto filling orders until the next show, once again at the same venue for Festival of Trees, Garrett County MD, on November 24 & 25.

10/14/2023

A fantastic day at Garrett County Chamber of Commerce Autumn Glory Festival. Come on out tomorrow to the fairgrounds in the Ag building. Lots of great shopping to be had.

10/09/2023

Another great one at Bedford Fall Foliage this past weekend! I LOVE when people tell me who they are and I can put a face to those orders that I get via the website! And a special thanks to the lady who trecked all the way down the hill with the bad hip, knee AND back just to buy all the matching collars for her labs! What a sweetie she was! I really can't thank all of you enough for the support you guys show for my collars.

Now, onto the 56th annual Autumn Glory Festival at Deep Creek, MD! As always, I will be at the Garrett County Fairgrounds in the Ag building. No matter the weather, it's a perfect place for tons of craft shopping! See you there!

LAST CALL FOR SEEING US AT BEDFORD FALL FOLIAGE TOMORROW! REMEMBER, WE CAN'T BE THERE NEXT WEEKEND!!

10/01/2023

THANK-YOU!! Yesterday was an absolute record setting day for selling pet collars at Potatofest! Never have we sold so many in one day! (It made me feel much better about falling over before I got there..:) and NOW...

On to next weekend at Bedford Fall Foliage. We will be down by the river as always. Yes, I will replenish all the collars asked for that I ran out of yesterday....including bows. (unless I run out of that fabric) I think I remember them all. Also, a very friendly FYI...no matter how many I make of certain patterns, they sell quickly! I strongly suggest you start at the bottom of the hill and work your way uptown if you've got your heart set on certain sports teams.

And lastly, don't forget we have a kinda large display at Founder's Crossing uptown if you work your way into that store.
