I’m so sorry everyone but all grooming appointments going forward from today are cancelled due to the passing of my beloved son last night.
Please bear with me while I deal with an immensely difficult time

When I send a dog home with a Christmas bandana this is not quite what I have in mind …. lol

This beautiful brown-eyed girl is Jenny the Soft Coated Wheaten. She has a ‘New Forest’ trim instead of breed standard but it means we get to see those absolutely gorgeous peepers 👀 She loves a sneaky cuddle so much I couldn’t resist a (very rare🫣) pic of me too 🐾

The Christmas bandanas are out! Rosie and Penny have theirs - if I’m not seeing you this month and you would like one just pop me a message 🐾🧑‍🎄

This lady (UK based) makes absolutely fabulous collars and leads of very high quality and generously helps dog rescues. If you’re looking for a new collar please have a look at her page - they are quite unique! 🐾

Bleak post but I have days now where I receive no orders at all. Thank you for cross posting, recommending or leaving reviews on Google and my Facebook. It really helps. Or just liking/sharing the posts. I am not very good at self promotion and times are tough! (So many collar makers now, they are better at the socials/promotion than me. Plus I would rather be making/sewing/knitting/mechanic..ing?🤣or being with the four hairy idiots)
I really need the web orders so I can carry on making cost collars to the rescues. Kitsch Collars might have to be a side hustle after all these years.😱 I am selling my beetle if anyone wants a project!

A very Merry Christmas to my super clients and dogs! Thank you for all your gifts and kind words and for just being generally fabulous, especially with the recent diary blips (thanks Southern Water 🥴). I appreciate you all 🐾🥰
Lola here was my last Christmas groom … she (and her mum) have had a tough year after we discovered a lump during a grooming session. Fast forward through surgery, chemotherapy and recovery to a good place now!
Have a lovely day
Lots of love, Elaine 🐾❤️

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all my wonderful clients. Thank you for all your generosity and continued support - I really am lucky to have you all. Hope Santa is good to you! 🎅🏻
Lots of love (and tickles for the dogs)
Elaine xx🐾
