Jeremy and I spent hours taking photos for the feature, and I spent days trying to perfect every last word in the short article before sending it off to Etsy’s staff (who are all quite wonderful, supportive, and kind, by the way).  And now here it is, the editorial that I have waited years to be featured in is finally in print for the world to see. To get a behind-the-scenes peek into my work space, my process, and the wild and whimsical world of All You Need is Pug, visit our Featured Shop editorial on the official Etsy Blog.

Yes, this is indeed a lovely way to end 2015. This has been a successful year for All You Need is Pug, and I feel that it all began when I quit my day job back in May. I was so nervous to take the leap, and I would never have done it if my fiancé hadn’t encouraged and supported me. It also helped that I have exceptional customers and followers who make my job worthwhile and so much fun to do. I look forward to waking up each day to see what adventures wait for me as I work on custom orders and brainstorm new ideas. I am overwhelmed by the kind words and wishes that I have received from customers and fellow artists just in the past 24 hours since the editorial has gone live. People can be so extraordinary and surprising, and I can’t thank you enough for making me smile and pushing me to be a better person, artist, and small businesswoman. 2015 is ending on a high note, and I hope that 2016 will prove to be even better. Here’s to you, here’s to 2016, and here’s to the future of All You Need is Pug!

All of these features have been incredible in helping our small business to reach people around the world. While it is wonderful to have received so much attention in such a short period of time, we have had to cut Halloween orders off early due to the current high order volume. Please be aware that as of September 16, our Halloween orders are closed. Any orders placed after September 16 cannot be guaranteed to arrive in time for Halloween. While your dog may not get to enjoy a new hat in time for this ghoulishly fun holiday, we can assure you that he or she will appreciate it come winter! Our holiday orders tend to get cut off early as well, so we recommend placing your orders as soon as possible to avoid missing out this holiday season. Visit our Etsy shop if you would like to browse our product line or get in touch with us in regards to placing an order.
