New Greeting Card

Inspired by this photo of Jackson I have re-printed one of my early cards using my trusty gocco. It's currently available on Folksy and Etsy.

I like Jackson's expression in the picture as he looks slightly guilty. Probably because he knew he wasn't allowed on the chaise longue!

Wire Fox Terrier Stuff #3

Ok, I know I already said that I wasn't a collector of soft toys, but I simply couldn't resist this Wire Fox Terrier made by Donna at Leafpeople. He stands at around 12 inches tall and is currently residing on top of our bedroom cabinet, safely out of reach from the snapping jaws of our real WFT, Jackson. And what could be better than one lovely soft toy? Why two of course!



After receiving my smashing WFT, I asked Donna to make a similar Irish Terrier toy for one of my pals. She put so much thought and effort into getting the toy to look exactly right and lo and behold, here they are together. I was sorely tempted to keep both dogs myself but Molly the Irish Terrier has now gone to her new home where her owner is as delighted with her as I am.

Donna makes all manner of other lovely things and welcomes custom requests so please take a look at her beautiful shop on Etsy.

New Forever Foxed Website

I'm delighted to announce that my new Forever Foxed website is finally live, hurrah! Although I was very fond of the old site, the new one is such a treat. Alas, I can't take any of the credit myself, it's all down to the lovely Reagan from Zea Creative. She really has the patience of a saint and deserves some sort of medal for putting up with all my silly questions.

I'm still going to keep my Etsy and new Folksy shops going, but once items have expired in my eBay shop at the end of the month it will close.

Please take a look at the new website and let me know what you think...

Do You Flickr?

I know I'm probably light years behind everyone else, but I've just discovered the delights of the image and video hosting website, Flickr. I like the idea of using it as another indirect marketing tool but I'm also just plain nosey and I love looking at these little snapshots of peoples’ lives. I suppose we're all voyeurs at heart.

In keeping with the Forever Foxed brand I'm using it primarily to post photos of our dog Jackson interspersed with a few of my greeting cards. Still not clear how blatant we're allowed to be about selling stuff so there's not even a hint of the word "etsy" except as a link in my profile. I've noticed that some people use it as a tag but I read on the etsy forums that it's verboten so I'm still being supercautious.

I've already joined a few Flickr groups and left some random comments here and there. I've even had 2 sales as a direct result of it which can't be bad in my first week of actively using it. So if you fancy a sneaky peek at my flickr page, please click here. Go on, you know you want to!
