discount pet supplies

February 6, 2010

Well, she doesn't want to do consignment now so it looks like I will be selling my extras online.
I'll post an update when I have it set up.

Do you know anyone who needs dog collars, dog leashes, dog harnesses, training collar links, dog outfits for small dogs, tiny kitten harnesses... ?
This stuff is very nice. It is all new, but because it was hanging in a store, some of it got a little dusty and some of the packages have sun fade.  So, I will be selling it all at a discount.

Please send them my way ;)

Pet Stuff for sale in Hubbard Ohio and beyond ;)

February 3, 2010

I just in got a whole big box that is full of dog stuff because I couldn't pass it up for the price Wink

I needed some new harnesses, leashes, and new toys... for my 2 Beagles and went searching the web.  I found someone who was closing their pet store and I got this whole box of dog harnesses, dog collars, dog leashes, dog toys, dog outfits and dog coats for small dogs, and other dog stuff !
There was some cat collars and cat leashes too.
I am going to see if my cousin's girlfriend who runs the new store at 6177 Youngstown-Hubbard Road in Hubbard, Ohio called "Petzie's - Pet Stuff - Gift Shop - Books and So Much More" wants to put my extras in her store on consignment.
If not, I will start my own little online store for them.

 I am also sewing a few cat toys by hand.  I am using some fake fur that I have and I will stuff them with real catnip.

 

Don't forget, I also make a nice pet soap.  I am just about out of it right now, but will be making more soon.

Fabulous Interiors store in Hubbard, Ohio

January 2, 2010

At her request, I took several of my handmade items to Fabulous Interiors store in Hubbard, Ohio and she will display all of them in her store and sell them on consignment for me !

What a beautiful store she has !
If you are near to Hubbard, you really must stop by to see the pretty designs and the wonderful furniture... .


She does the painting and design (She also will help you with your design for a small fee)  while her husband does the upholstering.

She and her husband are very much into recycling as I am so we really hit it off.


I am so proud to have some of my things in her store !

How are YOU trying to be more Green ?

December 25, 2009

Trying to be Green can be so tough !

Just finding the materials to make my handmade items - that are both organic AND as local as possible to avoid using so much transportation and fossil fuels... is impossible for some things.

I use my homegrown (in my organic gardens) herbs and flowers and buy organic fabrics whenever possible for my items.

Finding local organic fabric is tough, so I use quite a bit of vintage fabrics to make my hand-sewn items - at least it is keeping it out of a landfill and I am not buying any new non-organic fabrics.

I also use vintage buttons, trims, lace...

To me, using vintage fabrics and notions is not only being Green, but it also gives handmade items an extra special something too.

Handmade AND Vintage = Beautiful, Useful, and Green too !

Organically Yours,
Diana

Hometown success for Diana's All Natural and hand sewn products

December 20, 2009

Diana's Hand-Sewn and All Natural Products are getting even more popular and are getting more notice locally too !

Diana's Hand-Sewn and All Natural Products are getting even more local recognition.
Another local Hubbard, Ohio store has asked me to bring in a display of my All Natural handmade products and some of my hand sewn items to sell them in her downtown store right in the center of town.

This lady has a store in town with furniture and other things - she also does interior design...
She found my website and emailed me last week about putting some of my things in her store !
I emailed her back and will go to meet with her next week or so to talk about it.
I hope she knows that it is JUST me and not a whole crew that makes my things and that my hand-sewn items take time and are one-of-a-kind.

I am putting together a nice display of a little bit of everything so she can see them up close and then we will talk percentages and we will go from there.

This is so exciting !

The only problem is that I have been so... [More]

Some sad news about our rescue pup Jack...

November 23, 2009

To all of Jack's friends and supporters,

Our sweet Jack died in his bed on November 21st.
His Momma (My oldest daughter) found him when she went in to feed him.

He did not come running so she went to see what he was doing and she saw him 'sleeping' in his bed.
We love you and will miss you Jack - Your Momma and the rest of us are broken-hearted.

I made a Squidoo page for him when we first got him and have been updating it now and then.
I think it is only fitting that this is where his friends leave any comments about him and if they care to send their condolences - please do that here http://www.squidoo.com/a-puppy-tale

A little help today...

May 25, 2009

My oldest is coming over for a little while today to help me start packing things up for the show.
I made inventory sheets listing everything that I will be taking because I want to make sure it is all organized so I don't forget anything.

I also have a list of other items to take like my signs, displays...

Finished up the chocolate nut fudge lip balms and the honey lip balms.
I got the Pina Colada lip balms poured, but still need to label and wrap them.

I wont have very many soaps ready to take.
All of this damp weather wouldn't allow them to dry properly so I can't wrap them yet.

Boy, if I had another month, I'd have everything ready for sure   Wink

Only a few days left until the Girl's Night Out in Mill Creek Park fundraiser

May 24, 2009

The big show at Fellow's Riverside Gardens at Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio is coming up very soon !

I will be in the Davis Center building - lower level.
See you all there at 5:30pm on he 28th of May.

I am still trying to get ready for it.
I've been making up extra products, making signs and slowly packing things away in an organized manner (as much as I can muster - LOL).

This has been exciting and exhausting too !

Girls Night Out fundraiser for The Gardens at Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park - Youngstown Ohio

May 15, 2009

Still trying to get everything ready for the show at the fundraiser...

May 14, 2009

I am so tired !
I made over 300 of my Red Roses Exfoliating lip balms this week - about 100 of them in the twist-up tubes and 200 in little pots that are refillable - and only have about 1/5 of them labeled and shrink-wrapped so far.
I hope that is enough for the show in 2 weeks.

I also made extras of my "Rescue My Skin" balm and my "Save My Skin" balm.

I still have to make extras of my other 3 lip balms.

I am taking several of my eye masks and neck pillows and if I get some time, I want to do up gift baskets

I have a whole Coyote family in the woods by my house !

May 13, 2009

Oh my goodness,
I saw a whole famliy of coyote in front of my neighbor's house.
I went down to get the mail at about 11:30 or 12 and heard a howing and I thought a poor dog must be in trouble in the woods so I listened for a minute and then heard some more terrible howling.
I thought maybe a dog got caught in a trap or something.
Then, I heard the woods right across from house rustleing and hard a bunch of noises and then I thought it must have been a man with his hunting dogs just practicing so I turned to go up my driveway to the house.
I got to the end of my walkway and saw 5 or 6 small German shepard like black dogs running full speed out of the woods so I walked a little faster to my doorway and then turned to see and I saw a few more coming out of the woods.
My neighbor just just a couple of them behind my house and in her garden area just a few minutes ago.
I called 911 when I first saw them this morning because a pack might go...
