I'm starting to add Pet Accessories. I need to figure out how I want to display them all but its getting there!

Cat’s out of the bag! August 1st I’ll have a clothing boutique in downtown Port Washington!!
I’ll have a display with Plaid Cardinal collars available and a few other doggie and me items! 😍

Have you been waiting for the big news?
Well, here it is!

Have you seen this face before? I mean, not mine, but the cute redhead?
Maybe on the news, or making the cutest pet accessories , or up at serving you delicious drinks and food… ringing any bells?

Well, now you’re going to be seeing her at Candid Form too!

I am so excited to announce that Ashley will take over the shop on August 1!
Ashley is so talented and so kind, it is an absolute honor to be working with her as we transition the business to her leadership.
I can’t wait to see where she takes Candid Form!

Pappy, 🐾 the newest addition, says we have some big exciting news coming soon! 😆
I apologize if I’ve not responded to your messages during our break in activity. The restaurant has been amazing but we’re growing and expanding and it means I’ll have time for my first love 💕 The Plaid Cardinal 😍

All set up at Pet Expo in Milwaukee!
I’ve already seen 2 doggos with my collars on that were purchased here in past years! 😍

It’s a bit smaller of a set up since I didn’t have any of my usual helpers.

Getting ready for Pet Expo at State Fair Park tomorrow!
I’ll have a somewhat limited selection since I haven’t had much time to make collars as I would like. Excited to do my first event in about 10 months🙀

We will be taking a break for an undetermined amount of time. My other job leaves me with no time or energy to work on this side business.

Small set up outside of Port’s Cozy Corner today for the Festival of the Arts in Port Washington WI

It’s been a while… restaurant ownership has taken over my life and every once of energy I have. Today I snuck away to get some sewing done in my owners office. Starting next week I will be making time to work in my studio and start having open hours a few days a week for shoppers and friends to come by and check out some pet accessories! I’m so looking forward to making time for my first love again 🪡 🧵
I’ll be set up at Ports Festival of the Arts tomorrow, sharing a space with Moonlight Tavern.

So I’ve been a bit M.I.A on posting lately…. Here’s why! My husband and I acquired a supper club in downtown Port Washington! I will be posting new collars in the coming weeks! I’m working on some fun spring/summer ones!

New owners for Port Hotel's Moonlight Tavern. Ashley Heun and Anders Dowd, who stood in the bar of the Moonlight Tavern in the Port Hotel, said they plan to retain the supper club feel of the restaurant but more than double the number of whiskey offerings. Full story: https://bit.ly/3J33L3u
