The puppy pillow
I discovered a neat little shop called "Sanctuary of Stuff" one day while hunting down the Asheville recycling department. The store takes consignments from many different artists in the area, so it's a great mix of handmade crafts, from jewelry to pottery to artwork, as well as some new and vintage items as well. It's like Etsy, but tangible since you get to see and feel everything before you make a purchase. So anyway, a few weeks ago I was in there again (sans children, since that's the only safe way to visit the place) and in the front room were these pillows with dogs on them. Of course, I immediately thought of Harper. A little sign next to the pillows said that the crafter did custom orders, so I emailed her and asked if she could do a puppy pillow in "girly" colors to match H's room.



Isn't she cute? I love it, and I think Harper will, too. I just picked it up today, and it's going to be her Easter treat from Mommy & Daddy (Cole is getting a bird house, since he loves all the birds we have in our backyard). So anyway, I just thought I'd share my delight with you. The lady who makes them doesn't have a website but I can send you her email address if you're interested. She does lots of different dogs and will customize the pillows to your choice of colors of felt and breed. Most of the pillows at the shop seemed more boyish in color, but she added pink polkadot ribbon and a green gingham backing to this one just for H.

    Oh how I wish I could be there to see her face on Easter morn - she will LOVE it and Cole will love the birdhouse. We were talking about birdhouses when PawPaw and I were there a couple of weeks ago. Happy Easter to all of you!

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
      • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
