Pipsqueak and Petunia

10/11/2013

I have news! Pipsqueak & Petunia is reopening for the foreseeable future. Read more taken from our shop announcement below:

"In June 2012, after a year and a half of waiting, my husband and I welcomed a precious baby boy home through domestic adoption. After a year and half later, after a back surgery and a cross-country move, we felt God calling us to expand our family through adoption again, and after some hurdles, we decided on adopting a toddler from South Africa.
Many of you have been part of Pipsqueak & Petunia since the beginning and I am so thankful to have you here to be part of this story. Pipsqueak & Petunia is no longer my primary job – that's my baby boy – but, as I am sure you know, adoption is expensive and that is why I am reopening my (virtual) doors.

Every penny made from Pipsqueak & Petunia is going toward bringing our son or daughter home from South Africa. From our family to yours, thank you for your generosity and your role in blessing us a child and an orphan a family. It is appreciated beyond measure. "

Guys, I am tossing an idea around. I was looking through my supplies I have left from Pipsqueak & Petunia and I really have a TON of collar and leash stuff left. I am thinking about revisiting P&P for a short time only to offer matching leash and collar sets.

Would anyone be interested in a leash and collar set for $25, including shipping? These would have sold for $36 plus shipping in my shop!

Just a few more days until Pipsqueak & Petunia closes permanently, but the good news is all my remaining covers are on sale! Some of my most popular ones are still available!

Please comment with "sold" and send payment via Paypal to [email protected]. November 27 is the last day I'm accepting orders!

Note these are covers only! No insert is included with these. :-)

Hey, P&P fans! I have quite a few ped bed covers already made that I am thinking of listing in the shop alone (no insert), but thought I would ask you all if you'd be interested in them before I make them available to the public.

I have mostly mediums available along with a handful of smalls. Please let me know if there's interest and I'll make an album of what's available. I'll even offer free shipping to those in the US and Canada! :-)

Dear Pipsqueak & Petunia customers,

I have made the difficult decision to close the doors of my shop in late November 2012. I have enjoyed these last 2-1/2 years with you and appreciate you all immensely. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your home!

All the best to you,
Kelsey

Wondering where I've been? I have big news! After waiting in the domestic adoption program for what felt like a lifetime, Dan and I welcomed home a precious baby boy, Max, on June 18!

Creating is a big part of my life and not just professionally. I love spending the time making just the right gift for someone I love. For this past Christmas, I made Taggies for my youngest three nieces and nephews. Two years ago, I made stuffed bunnies.

http://www.pipsqueakandpetunia.com/home/2012/02/making-the-most-of-your-day-time-management-strategies/

Like everyone else, I am busy. I have two jobs, a home, a husband, a demanding dog, and hopefully soon, a child. I also have a back that will freak out at the littlest thing, so I have to take advantage of the good days (or even hours) to get the most done.

A friend of mine asked me the other day for some ideas on how to promote her Etsy shop with a limited budget. Contrary to what you may think, you really don’t need a big budget for marketing, BUT (and it’s a really big but) you do need to have some allotment for marketing. After all, you’ve spent ho...

End of Year Resolutions: Leaving Behind Bad Habits- New on Pipsqueak & Petunia! http://www.pipsqueakandpetunia.com/home/2011/12/end-of-year-resolutions/

I’m not big on New Year’s Resolutions. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever made one. In this regard, I take after my dad; if I see something I need to change, I don’t lollygag about it, I change it. Such as when I felt convicted about being wasteful, I stopped using paper towels with my meals, quit buy...

You may have noticed that I’ve be conspicuously absent for the past two months.

My $4.99 Goodwill lamp makeover! http://www.pipsqueakandpetunia.com/home/2011/08/goodwill-lamp-makeover/

A few weeks ago I picked up a hideous lamp and shade at Goodwill for a mere $4.99. The lamp itself was in pretty good condition, just kind of on the grimy side. However, the neon yellow just wasn’t doing it for me. The lamp shade was a whole other story. It was icky- stained and dirty- and the borin...
