Walter!

We met Vashon Island photographer, Kathleen Webster, early yesterday morning for a JoeysCoat photo shoot.  

Fiona shared the spotlight with Walter, 

a darling spark-plug-of-a Jack Russell puppy.  

He was a natural!

Milo Style...

Remember Milo?

I recently visited Milo and his human, textile designer Ruby Chambers, in her Tacoma studio.  

~ A tiny sampling of Ruby's collection ~

Neatly filled with all the trappings of the perfect Carpetbagger style JoeysCoat, Milo in his chenille tapestry, antique metallic ribbon and Bakelite "hardware" fits right in with Ruby's considerable collection of opulent fabrics and trim.  

The sun happened to be shining so we took advantage of a quick walk around the block before saying our farewells. 

 Thank you Milo and Ruby for sharing your sumptuous world with me...

Under the blanket...

The other day I happened upon a blog titled 'Under the blanket' that published a wonderful entry featuring JoeysCoat.  Delighted with the kind "shout out" I wanted to learn more about it. Turns out that the blog is a facet of the company, BlanketID; a company whose inspiration was brought about by visits to animal rescue's and shelter's, in search of a "special friend" to adopt.  

In their words:       

"We were touched by what we had seen, and a big idea took shape; an ID tag that would hold details online and never be out of date, together with a simple system that could immediately alert shelters, pounds, animal control, SPCA and any other local members with details and a photo of a missing pet.

Then, we made it even better; we added tools to print your own lost posters and flyers, GPS mapping of where pets were reported found and even the option to report your pet as Stolen (it happens more often than you think!).

Then we put the idea to work. By adding a small annual fee to the tag (less than $1 per month), we created a way for everyone to give a little back. We even provide a way for our members to choose which organization they would like their support to go to.

Thanks to our fantastic members, over the last three years we have been able to help over 100 organizations that make the world a better place."

Layla in Northern Lights...

I am delighted to share this photo of Layla from Virginia, a nearly two year old Frenchy, wearing 'Northern Lights'.  

As every dog owner knows, each pup is unique, no two are alike.  The same goes for JoeysCoat.      

A one-of-a-kind for a one-of-a-kind!
