Big News To Start 2016!

December was an incredibly busy month for me... this month will be equally, if not more busy than the last. But this is a good thing for me. Right about now, i'm sure you are all wondering what I am going on about. WELL... you have most likely became familiar with my shop - Pawz N Clawz Jewelry N Things. My mother and I have been selling hand crafted jewelry, wall signs, and more for quite a while now, right here from the blog. So, we had an idea... why not open our own store? Like, an actual store! Right here in my town of Smiths Falls, Ontario! One thought led to another, and voila! I give you Pawz N Clawz Boutique - Your One Stop Shop For Pets And Their Humans.

I hope to have our grand opening February 1'st, and I have been working very hard to accomplish that. Call it a bit of a New Years resolution, even though I don't so much do those. We will be selling the same things we have been selling in our shop, but so much more! MORE jewelry designs, MORE wall sign designs, wood burnt signs, PLUS we have connected with K9 Kelp, and will be selling their all natural dog shampoos, fur spritz, paw and nose balms etc etc... and I am in the midst of making deals with a few other companies as well. (I will provide details as deals come through.)We will be carrying leashes, collars, and just a wide variety of anything human/pet related.

These are some of the signs I have been working on for the store. Now, keep in mind, my talented mother has always been the "sign maker" so this is new to me. What do you guys think of my first try at sign making/creating?

This is part of our HUGE front counter!

And we JUST got our store banner/sign the other day in the mail, which we will be putting up in the next day or two. So yep... you could say I am incredibly excited for what the New Year will bring, and for our grand opening in February. I plan on doing my best to have this business go a very long way, and I have no doubt that I will accomplish my goal. I hope that doesn't sound conceited, but this is the first time in my life I have set out to do anything even remotely like this, and I have full confidence in myself as well as my lovely mother that we will make this store work.

Sooooooooooo..... what are your plans for the New Year?
