Etsy terms have changed since I first started looking into selling there. When all the fees, commissions and shipping are added the price of a handmade dog product is no longer reasonable.

Adding in the insane amount of resellers that have inundated the site selling cheapest quality products and the crazy return policy that favors dishonest people,
I have come to the conclusion Etsy won't work for me.

All this to explain why Barks N Bow Wows, will be closing up shop.

At one point, I thought we had a shot, but in this economy, people are looking for a deal... and I can't compete in that market.

So much love ❤️ to my cheerleaders.

If you'd like to keep in touch with me, please drop me a DM for a friend add on my personal page.

Thank you again for the smiles and love.

Etsy shop is moving even slower than originally intended.

2 days after we moved in, I sprained my ankle really badly after a tumble down a couple concrete stairs outside. Courtesy of my Basset pulling at the most inopportune time.

I'm on the mend though, so grateful for that.

Greetings and Salutations!

Barks n Bow-Wows has been on a long hiatus as lots of changes happening!!

First happening...
As of this weekend, we relocated out of the Missouri area.
I know... 😔 I will miss all your doggie snuggles and smiling faces.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

We are slowly in process of setting up our new Etsy shop.
You'll be able to still purchase some old favorites, as well as some new fashions for holidays, special occasions and a line of special order fashion tshirts!

All with Barks n Bow-Wows signature flare!

Time to get creative! 🎨✂️ I’ve got just one shot at making something awesome for Charlie with my (surprisingly limited) St. Patrick’s Day fabric. 🍀 No room for mistakes—just pure creativity and a little luck of the Irish! ☘️

Challenge accepted! Stay tuned to see how this turns out! 😆✨

Oh! It's Fat Tuesday... I need to figure out where I packed the dog's Mardi Gras outfits...
le sigh... Nevermind.

I love to make cookies. Some are family recipes passed down and some are just favorites of the household. My grandmother made these date and walnut bars that are so original that I've never seen them made elsewhere. When i take a bite, I'm instantly transported back to my childhood.

Memory unlocked!

What is one of your favorite cookies to eat during the holidays?

Our spokesdog, Todd in his custom Thanksgiving shirt vest. I just LOVE dressing this little dude!

I hope you all had an amazing day yesterday!

Awww... grainy video, but so sweet.
This is Ransom. He's being fostered with and is sporting one of our t shirts.
He doesn't like to be cold and this helps keep the chill at bay.

Adorbs!
