daisy loves... to help her friends



Wow! Neither of us seem to have drawn breath in the last couple of weeks whilst getting daisy loves... off the ground. I have been writing interviews (and setting up more for the future) plus keeping my design business The Scarlet Paw Print running and setting up a new arm called The Scarlet Wonderland and all the time Lesley-Ann continues to take more stunning photography. If you're getting married in the UK then check out her wedding photography at The Scarlet Studio!

But back to the project closest to our hearts right now and that is all the things that daisy loves! Lesley-Anne and I have both been putting in the hours researching fabric wholesalers and agreeing on what our first collection is going to be (still under wraps but coming together nicely!) plus the usual 'who is going to do what' business discussions now we are in full swing.

We've set up our EtsyShop and a Folksy Shop (although they are both currently empty) and have found lots of lovely people to connect with on Twitter and got a marketing plan in place! All feels very grown up but not at all like work as we are both loving what we are doing so much.

We actually have something very special coming up next week as we have decided to do a pre-launch collection called The Rescue Range. As the real Daisy (pictured above) is a German Wirehaired Pointer we are going to have a permanent, but ever-changing, range of bandanas on sale in both our shops which will raise money for GWP Rescue Inc - an amazing charity run by Mary Murray in Kansas rescuing GWP's. More to follow on these but the bandanas will look gorgeous on all dogs and of course will help save a beautiful, funny and unique breed of dog.

Anyway enough for this post, but we are both very excited about what lies ahead and hope you continue to stay with us for our journey!
