Spring 2014 LPH Pet Bow Ties & Bows

Some fun new things have been added to the shop recently. Last spring, if you can remember back that far, LPH debuted our Lavender and Seersucker Bow Ties, which were a hit for both the spring and summer.  This year, in a desperate attempt to will the winter to end, I chose some bright and fun fabrics that are perfect for the ever stylin' pet. This week, the official Spring 2014 Pet Bow Tie & Bow collection was added to the Lavender Paper Hearts Etsy Shop. I fell in love with the flower print fabric when I used it to make some baby gifts for the holidays, and I wanted to incorporate it into bow ties for the new season.  Plus, I'm jonesing hard for all things spring and springtime feeling and that cute fabric makes me feel like spring will be here any minute!!

So a few weeks ago I walked the aisles of my local fabric store searching for the perfect materials to compliment the flower fabric. Stripes are one of those things that just never really go out of style.  That said, I picked a bright Lemonade Stripe fabric to help ring in the Spring (hello, Spring? Are you there???).  In a similar vain I fell in love with the Bright Sky Blue Polka Dots because they just felt right. I hope that polka dots stay in fashion for years to come - I love them!!

                 

Here it is, the Spring 2014 Lavender Paper Hearts Pet Bow Tie & Bow Collection in Floral, Lemonade Stripes, or Sky Blue Polka Dots. You can find them listed in the Etsy shop HERE.  

My bow ties & bows are all completely made by hand. I use cotton fabric to ensure softness for your pet with soft interlining to help the bow tie keep its shape. The bow ties are soft and flexible enough that they will not be uncomfortable for your pet in their day-to-day activities. They easily secured to your pet's collar with a hidden elastic band on the back of the tie which makes them easy to put on and take off. Should your pet have a little too much fun, the bow ties can be gently hand-washed and laid out to air dry.

Be sure to get your wallets ready this weekend for a good cause! S.N.O.R.T. Rescue, a New England short nose breed rescue organization is having a Craft Show Online Facebook Auction to help raise some money for some of their foster dogs who have immediate medical issues. All money raised from the auction goes to help their fosters!!  The auction will run from Saturday February 22nd starting at 6pm - Tuesday February 25th at 8pm.

Lavender Paper Hearts has donated bow ties to this fantastic organization in the past, and we're happy to be able to donate a Yellow Plaid Pet Bow Tie and a NEW Pet Collar Flower style to the auction.

                       

                       

Ofelia's foster mom is currently the fundraising coordinator for S.N.O.R.T and working super hard to take care of not only the auction, but also Ofelia who's recovering from brain surgery this week.  Lavender Paper Hearts sent off a special collar flower to her as a get well gift. We got this ADORABLE Valentine in return. Look at that sweet squishy face!

                      

                                        

These flowers are now available for purchase in the shop. 

Be sure to check out the auction this weekend, and help raise money for some adorable and lovable rescue dogs!!

LPH Holiday Collection

Get your mouse ready.... the Lavender Paper Hearts Holiday Collection is up and added to my Etsy shop!! 

I've got some returning items this year, as well as some new pieces for ladies, little ladies, and pets too.  If you've been following me on Instagram, you've probably watched as I added pieces bit by bit.  Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to get a coupon!  

For the Pets:  I've brought back the Green Candy Cane and Red Snowman Pet Bow Ties this year. The snow men are technically different, but I might be the only one to notice. I totally think they're cuter this time around.  By special request, I also added a Holiday Striped Bow Tie to the collection. I think they're a fun, fancier choice for the season.

Holiday Stripes Pet Bow Ties

New: Also new to the pet selection this year are my Poinsettia Collar Flowers. Last year some people wanted something a little different for their lady dogs, so I came up with this fun throw back flower to add a little holiday spirit to any pet. Just like the Pet Bow Ties, these can be added or removed from your pet's collar by an elastic band on the back of the flower.

For the Ladies and Little Ladies: I've brought back some of my poinsettia hair pieces from last year, as well as added some clip sets to this year's mix.  

I love these bows! I have them to wear in pretty much any color felt possible. I've made them holiday themed here so you can look snazzy for any up coming holiday parties, or if you just want to get a little fancy while shopping.
