Happy Thanksgiving to our Cousins down South

Happy Thanksgiving!  Yes, I know we already celebrated Thanksgiving last month but any excuse to have turkey, right?  Here's another pic of me and Monkey this past October.

Today Monkey was concerned that the squirrels weren't getting enough nuts for their winter storage.  So, we ended up leaving some snacks.  He also thought they might like some cheerios and goldfish.  Afterwards, he stomped on some more nuts because he knew they didn't have a nutcracker.  He's so sweet!

Gobble gobble to everyone out there celebrating Thanksgiving!


In celebration of Thanksgiving for my US customers, Josh and Teo is holding a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.  All toy leashes in my shop are on sale.  Use coupon code BLACKFRIDAY10 for a 10% discount.  If you like me on Facebook, find the coupon code and save 20%!  Happy shopping!!!

Under 50 Bucks - Bag it!

Another day, another lovely treasury.  I love ETSY people.  They really know how to search for really cool items.  My Josh and Teo stroller bag was included in this treasury of bags.  I love love love the grey shoulder bag with the rose detail.   Here's a link to ETSY.

It's been a crazy crazy week and I have yet to post some of our adventures.  Reason?  I just discovered Pinterest and Twitter.  More things to distract me :o)

Josh & Teo was Featured in Chatelaine Magazine!

I'm doing a happy happy dance.  Why?  Because the December 2011 Chatelaine Holiday Issue just came out last week and my internet shop:  Josh & Teo was featured!

This is my first feature in a National Magazine!  If you someone told me a year ago that I would be doing this, I would have laughed.  I had just had Baby Bunny and was so tired.  But this past April, with the support of amazing hubby, I opened up my online shop.  When I sold my first item, both hubby and I jumped for joy.   Monkey thought we were crazy.   That was then and this is now!



I even saved the screenshot from my first sale!


My first feature is in the Family Travel 2011 Edition.  It's all about 1" tall!  But it's such an honour to be chosen amongst all of the other amazing shops out there on the internet.   I hope that the magazine's online site will feature it too.

This is the toy leash that sparked their interest.  It's amazing that we first started conversing about this in June - 2 months after I opened shop.  



Can you see it?  How about now?  There's my website!


I'm going to be in the magazine again in February 2012.  However, it's not going to be a feature but a correction.  Aaah... the world of publishing.  Sometimes mistakes are made and this one happened to be that the wrong picture was used.   While it was upsetting at first, the positive outcome is that I will get a correction printed with the correct picture and my website.  So, it's like two times the exposure!

I'm starting to believe that anything can happen if you stay positive and work hard.  Either that or I'm just humming the theme song to "Timothy goes to School".
