For the Love of Catnip

After Christmas I listed my Organic Catnip toys for Valentines and St. Patrick's.  Well let me tell you I have been busy filling orders for these.

So far I've made over a dozen Conversation Heart packs and over a half dozen clovers.

I even offer personalized Conversation Hearts with your cat's name on them.

As I said before my catnip is organic and the felt and other materials I use to make these are Vegan friendly.
I also have personalized Conversation Hearts and Clovers for dogs.  Check them out at my Etsy store.

Bay Area Pet Expo

Last Saturday was the Bay Area Pet Expo!!!!

I was super excited to go, especially because I was going to be a patron with two of my friends and one of their dogs, Starr. Usually I'm a vendor at things like this. 

Over 100 exhibitors and  23 rescues were there.  Walking in was Pet Nirvana. My favorite stores to shop at are pet stores and fabric/craft stores, so I'm more than excited when I have a chance to look at pet products/things. 

Pet Expos are amazing; they encompass everything pet. Dogs, cats, birds, and rodents. You name it. It's also great to be around like minded people and bring your pets with you. Brining your pet with you anywhere is always a plus. 

Vendors, demonstrations, speakers, activities and don't forget the swag.  It's a great way to learn about being the best pet parent you can be, have a social outing, and see the latest and greatest products.
 Here are a few pictures for the event.

 

 Shop till you drop!!!

 Shop, Shop, Shop some more.

First Post!!!

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to this blog site, so my blog may look and be a little boring for now. In the mean time you will find update here for my online stores, new items, and current projects in process.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME. . .
I'm a college student majoring in Fashion Merchandising in California. I started my custom pet apparel business, The California Chi in 2001. My 4 Chihuahua's are my inspiration.

Crafting, Creating, and Designing are my favorite pass times. I'm always open to new crafts.
My experience with Art, Design, and Crafting is extensive thanks to my parents, both of which are art enthusiasts.

I enjoy custom orders. I feel my clients provide new challenges for me to overcome.
Feel free to contact me for a custom order.

Currently I'm selling Pet items for Easter.
Here are a few.
