This is a post that I was hoping I wouldn’t have to make quite yet, or ever really no matter how irrational that was. Many of you have followed along with my moms - or Momma R as many of you affectionately call her - journey with cancer. In early April her journey came to an end.

Everything happened so fast at the end. One day we were making plans and then the next things changed on a dime. But I guess with this disease that’s not uncommon.
While her passing wasn’t how we envisioned it when we initially started with hospice it was peaceful and she was in no pain when she left. I was by her side with my brother on the phone with me when she passed at 8:22am - her birthday. For those who knew her you know she couldn’t leave without adding a bit of extra flare.

I’ve held of making this announcement because I’ve been going through so many emotions and feelings and ups and down. And to be honest I just couldn’t. As I’ve said to my friends and family doing things like this adds another layer of finality that I’m still very much struggling with.
For those of you who have followed me for a while you know that my mom is my best friend, biggest inspiration, biggest supporter and also part of B&B. Every day I am acutely aware that she is missing in so many aspects in my life.

I know many of you have been waiting patiently for the shop to reopen or at least get some kind of sense of when that might be. I’m sorry, but I just don’t have an answer to that right now. I do know that I will reopen and Belle & Bark is far from finished.
I ask that you be patient with me while I try to learn how to live without my mom and best friend while trying to do what needs to be and when I’m still very much in the grieving process.

I want to say a huge thank you to all of you who have been so supportive of me and my mother the past few years when as her journey became more difficult. You prayers, good vibes, well wishes, virtual hugs, supportive words and everything else you gave meant the world to me and mom. And I truly believe they worked as we got “extra” time. That time is something that I will forever be grateful for.

Evening all! I have several Eco Camvas fabric bandanas left from my Instagram sale and wanted to see if any of you lovely people would be interested.
I’d rather not list them in the shop as they’re limited edition/won’t be added as a staple and don’t want to confuse people.
I’ll go ahead and add a video in the comments of what I have and the size chart as well. Also, each bandana comes with two snaps but I’m happy to add one in between when asked.
Anyhow, just shoot me a DM or reply to this thread if your interested!

The shop is OPEN! 🥳

Okay folks, the time has come. The shop is officially open and ready for y’all! You’ll find lots of new prints, bows, and flowers along with some premade headbands and key fobs.
You may also notice that the shop looks a little different. Over my break I worked to organize things and make it less overwhelming.

I want to take a minute to say thank you once again for all your patience and support during my break. I was so nervous to take the time but you all made it so much easier with your kind words and encouragement.

And now I am so excited to start making for y’all again. I don’t know what the future holds and I’m sure there will be ups and downs and times I may need to ask for your patience again. But for right now I am going to enjoy being open again and start making all the things for y’all!

Hi y’all! I’m popping on because there’s going to be a slight change of plans. You’ve been so patient and I’m going to ask you to be patient for one - maybe two - more additional days. That’s to say, I had every intention of opening the store tomorrow but a couple of things came up last minute so I’m going to have to push the reopening until Sunday, possibly Monday.
I am so sorry y’all. Like I said you have been so patient with me and my ever changing timeline and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. I feel bad pushing the opening but I’m too old to pull all nighters and all dayers now lol.
As always if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me on here or Etsy. And again, I appreciate each and every one of you!!

Here comes trouble…and boy is trouble handsome!

I’m sorry I haven’t posted but it’s been crunch time over here in anticipation of the opening on Saturday! I have to say, I’m really excited to be opening and to start making for y’all again but I’m a bit nervous as well.
But let’s focus on the fun stuff shall we? Like all the new prints that will be available, so many premade headbands and the prospect of bandanas being added to the shop.

Tell me, are you excited for the reopening? And if so what are you itching to get your hands on?

📣 Eco Bandana Sale Info 📣

If you’ve been following along in my stories over the past month or so you’ll know that bandanas are coming to B&B! And before I reopen the shop I’ve decided to do a Ready to Ship Sale of eco fabric bandanas!

Note - this will be your last chance to snag an eco fabric accessory as they will no longer be an option in the shop.

Okay, now for the important stuff! ⬇️

• WHEN
Sale is Sunday, April 23rd @ 3pm and will take place in my stories

• BANDANA SIZING
XS ~ 8-10”
S ~ 10-12”
M ~ 12-14”
M/L ~ 14-16”
L ~ 16-18”
XL ~ 18-20”
XXL ~ 20-23”
- if your dog is the last number in the range I would suggest sizing up so you won’t be on the last snap

• HOW TO ORDER
I will post each bandana available as its own story on Sunday. To claim, simply reply to the story “SOLD”.
•This is a first come first serve basis. So the first person to reply will snag the bandana. The replies after that I’ll message and let you know it’s no longer available.
I’ll also try to update stories as fast as possible to take down what has been claimed.

• IMPORTANT INFO
- All bandanas are premade, made of Eco Canvas fabric and will have two snaps (except XXL which has three)
- Bandanas will range from $19-25 (shipping not included)
- Invoices will be sent through PayPal or Venmo as the shop is still closed 😊

If you have any questions about the sale please don’t hesitate to drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

Now with all that being said, who’s going excited for Sunday?!

Hey yall! As we’re in February now I thought it was time to post an update on me and the shop.

Last month I said my plan was to reopen the shop at end of January/beginning of February. And when I wrote that it absolutely was my plan. But as you may have guessed my plans changed a bit.
The long and the short of it is that I’m just not ready to reopen yet. If I’m being completely honest and open with y’all I feel like I’m just getting myself righted again and I’m not mentally or physically ready to dive back in to shop owner mode.

In addition to that I haven’t done so much of the maintenance stuff I wanted to do while I was closed. I really have taken a huge step back since finishing up the holiday season and have been recharging and enjoying life day to day. And I’ll tell you what, it’s been amazing.

I’m lucky enough to be able to take this time off and I really want to take full advantage of it. Like I’ve said the last year and a half has been quite a lot here in the Ryan household and it’s nice to just stop and take a breath. Along with spending time with my dogs, at the farm with my horse and having movie days with my mom.

So, with that being said the shop closed through February with a plan to reopen in the spring. And in the meantime I’ll be working on some new things behind the scenes, prepping for Spring as well as taking care of some clerical things. And I might have some more premade options available in my stories so keep an eye out for that!

And as always I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for being so supportive and patient with me. And for everyone who has reached out to send a message of support and love and best wishes for Momma R - thank you. I cannot tell you how much it means to us and how it warms our hearts.

If y’all have any questions please don’t hesitate to drop a comment or send me a message. I’m here and will respond as soon as I can!

Sending y’all love and light,
Katie

Happy New Year friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your 2023! Man, writing that out is crazy. I can’t believe we’re in 2023!

You may have noticed I’ve been pretty silent on social media. Once I finished all my holiday orders I really took a step back to enjoy the holidays with my family, take a breath and to process the year. As many of you know my mom, Momma R as y’all like to call her, had a reoccurrence of her cancer in mid 2021. And since then she has been going on a journey of thinking it was gone, realizing it wasn’t, accepting cancer as part of her life, going through different treatments options, dealing with the side effects of those treatments and really just a rollercoaster of emotions. And I have been right there with her. Of course not the treatment part - although if I could take that away from her I would - but all the other parts of the journey.

My mom is my person. We are extremely close, so facing this and thinking about the future has been a really scary and emotional process. There’s a fine line between sharing and oversharing and I try my best to follow it. I know so many of you have your own struggles you’re facing you don’t need to emotionally take on mine as well. And also this journey is very personal for my mom, for me and for my family. So while I’ve shared a lot with you there is also a lot I haven’t shared.

Now all that leads me back to why I’ve been absent. This past year I feel like I haven’t really had a chance to fully process everything and take a breath. So over the holidays with the shop closed I’ve been doing just that. I took a step back from social media, haven’t been working in the bow room and decided not to reopen right after the new year. I just needed some time - and still do - to put my mental and physical health first. Because just as my mom is my person I am hers and I won’t be any good to her if I completely burnout.

So, I’ve decided to hold off opening the shop until the end of January/ early February (subject to change) so I can continue to recharge as well as spend time with my mom. I hope y’all understand. And I don’t want you to think that the shop isn’t going to reopen, because it most definitely is! I just need a little more time.

If you made it this far I want to say thank you and you’re awesome! I know that was a lot but I just wanted to give y’all an idea of where I’m at. Alright well I think that’s it. As always if you have any questions please feel free to reach out. I’m still answering my DMs, Etsy messages and emails. And when I have a better idea of when I’ll be reopening y’all will be the first to know!

I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who this past weekend during the Small Business Saturday sale. I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect because I know this year has been rough. Not only this year but what feels like the cumulative effects of the past three years. But man did y’all come through. I can’t thank you enough for all of your support and your orders and your likes and shares. I am truly so grateful for each and every one of you.

With that being said I think I’ll be closing the shop for the holidays a little earlier than I had planned. I want to make sure I’m able to get all orders out by the USPS cutoff time. And to do that I think that means I need to close shop for the year this weekend. So if you want to get in any last minute orders before I close for the remainder of 2022, do so before Sunday!

And once again, THANK YOU for being so incredible ❣️
