The Business - Happy Hound Collection

Some of you may remember that Maddy

has a little doggie bandana business.  

Since it's been about a year since she first started it,

I thought I'd do a quick update!

Muffy - modeling one of the flannel tie-on bandanas!

Last year around this time, Maddy and I attended and sold

at our first and only craft fair.

While it was a fun and learning experience, we learned

that most of the people visiting our church-sponsored

craft fair were little old ladies whose dogs had just died.

Soooo, they were not at all interested in our adorable doggie bandanas.  

Nothing against lol [little old ladies], of course,

as I am getting to be one of them, but we quickly figured out they

were not our target audience.

Maddy researched a plan and decided an etsy (homemade items) store

was the way to go!  She made a logo and set up the Etsy

site, listing products and doing all kinds of social media

posts on Instagram.

She's had over 572 sales since her business

started in February, 2017!  That does not include

direct sales to friends and neighbors.

Isn't that amazing!

So proud of her and all her hard work!

She really connects with her customers and has developed

so many Happy Hound friendships!

We love visiting the fabric stores and choosing fabrics and 

sewing, sewing, sewing!

Plus, our Scottie Muffy, has thoroughly enjoyed

modeling and receiving loads of treats for her hard work!

Yawning or just waiting for another treat?  Modeling is a tough gig!
