Self-Finishing Dog Collars

Thanks to NJNA's last newsletter, I know where you can buy self-finishing dog collars.  I know I mentioned the NJNA newsletter yesterday but I want to emphasize these cowhide collars as up to now I've not known who the designer was.  (By the way, they also sell one self-finishing cat collar, design self-finishing bracelet cuffs and regular canvases.). There is a sizing guide to help you know what length to order.  These come painted in gray scale so you can pick your own colors and the leather is available in either black or brown.

Self Finishing Dog Collars

Stitch by Stitch in Larchmont, NY now offers self-finishing dog collars and canvases sized to fit.  These come in three lengths to fit almost any size dog and are availabie in black or brown leather.  The sizes are listed in the description for individual items.

The needlepoint section is not very large so these will be a quick stitch.  The bonus is with all that leather they should wear very well.

Town and Country Loves Needlepoint

Once again Town and Country magazine has listed their preppy gift guide for the holidays. And once again, needlepoint is on the list--three times!  They recommend needlepoint dog collars, pillows (they like Jonathan Adler designs but we have a broader selection), and of course a baseball cap with a needlepointed motif.  Not quite needlepoint are slippers made from kilim carpet remnants.

Many thanks to Rachel for the heads up.

Town and Country Gives Permission to Wear Needlepoint

They don't mention you can stitch these yourself for less money and a higher quality, not to mention getting precisely what you want.  But once again we discover we needlepointers are trendy as all get out.

Here's a bit more about Tucker Blair's goods.

Just in case you feel the need to go preppy without the fun of stitching these things, you know.
