stumbled upon stray dog designs and wanted to share their neat story and products. certainly a fun, eclectic little company but with a great tale and beginnings. "bill and jane were newlyweds. after a marriage so hasty it could have been part of a reality television show, they fled to mexico to "get to know one another."
stray dog story "the export business was a start but soon they realized that jane's talent for design coupled with bill's boundless energy was propelling them toward creating something uniquely their own. with la princessa (their own real life stray dog!) always by their side, panting with quiet encouragement, they explored several options until they discovered guadalupe alvarez's tin workshop." "picking up on jane's creative eye and desire for design that was altogether different, guadalupe told her, "draw something." jane scrawled a kooky lamp on a napkin and a few days later the first stray dog creation was born." "over a decade later, stray dog designs' core design principles are simple: all items are handmade with careful construction from quality and recycled materials, melding quirky charm and true artistry, and providing fair wages for local workers."
happy happy healthy new year everyone! prosperous, generous, exciting, stimulating, loving, intriguing, sensational, indulgent, and so much more are my wishes for everyone's new year to come! my thankful list is coming soon but for now, enjoy your evening, each other and blogland...see you next year!
