Red is the Colour!

At this time of year I am forced to feel festive. NOT out of choice, but necessity, because it is that time of year when we at Redhound have to get ready for the big Country Living Christmas Fair.

So it has been all about RED this last couple of weeks. Red Christmas jumpers, Red bandanas, and Red Christmas stockings!

I have been working out on the knitting machine all week, and to my surprise I seem to have a slightly more toned waistline, who needs the gym.

Next week it will be all about bandana production. Lots of triangles of lovely cotton in beautiful prints, and then I will be putting the sewing machine through its paces, zoom zoom.

And this year we are offering our bandanas with a treat tree as a gift pack! There will be frantic packing of these lovely gifts the day before setting up at the show no doubt.

 This week I have been amazed by the response I have had on the social media sites, there was a time not so long ago, when those two words just wouldn't have been in the same sentence! Running a business is so different now to how it was when I had the Wedding Dress Shop. But I have embraced it and use Twitter (@RedhoundforDogs) and Instagram (@redhoundfordogs)

 I am getting orders from all around the world! Collars and Coats are going as far away as Australia! 

I love the sharing of thoughts and pictures, and the way that I can connect with my customers in a more personal way. 

This little dog won a bandana for being our 700th follower on Twitter, and it gave me such joy to make the owner so happy!

And George is so terribly CUTE!!

Last but not least we took a delivery of wonderful bright coloured dog collars made in the softest of leather by our shoe maker friends in Devon. 

I love them all, and I am sure that the good people of London will too>
