Mimi Green, Jonathan Papelbon, MSPCA and Gucci?? Say what?!

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

This month we had the honor of dressing a dog for the fashion show at the MSPCA-Angell Animal Tales Gala.  The Gala raised a whopping $481,000 for Boston's MSPCA!

 Not only did we get to dress sweet Lucille in the fashion show, but Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon and his wife Ashley waked her down the runway!

Boston's WCVB’s news reporter and anchor, Randy Price announced, 

“First we welcome Red Sox pitcher Jonathan Papelbon and his wife Ashley walking the beautiful Lucille, whose accessories tonight are by Mimi Green and Gucci.”

Excuse me, were the words "Mimi Green" and "Gucci" used in the same sentence?!?! Heck yes they were! And to top it off "Jonathan Papelbon" too!!??

Here's Lucille with the shelter staff. The MSPCA does great work for animals in their community and we felt so happy and honored to be able to help in the small way we did.

Mimi Green in a new light

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

I have so many customer photos to post soon, but I wanted to show everyone the AWESOME photos from Winston's mom, the genius behind EE Photography

(Mimi Green Hunter Collar, leash and Bow)

I still haven't seen Winston in his collar yet, but his mom Erin was nice enough to post these photos on her blog. If you live in the Abilene, Texas area and need a photographer, give Erin a call. She not only rocks as a photographer but is just the sweetest person.

I've never seen Mimi Green look so good! I wish I could sit Erin down and pick her brain for a few days 😉

Hello stranger!

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

So I've been missing in action for awhile now, I know. Although I've said it before, my absence was for good reason.

Reason #1:

We hired a new staff. First few folks didn't work out, but 3rd time was the charm. Jessi started working with us about 6 weeks ago and we just adore her.  (Hope she doesn't mind that I stole this photo of her off Facebook!)Jessi

 

I could say that I have been so busy training her about all things Mimi Green and that is the reason I haven't blogged, but that is so far from the truth.  After the first week Jessi was rocking and rolling. Mr. Miller said she is going to be better at making collars than we are soon! We love her. She is not allowed to quit, ever. It was a bit stressful, okay a lot stressful, to hire lots of new people. It took up a lot of my attention and I thank God that is over for now.


Reason #2:

I have gone on a redecorating spree. The house looks like someone else's house — and I have been keeping it clean! I couldn't figure out how to balance kids / husband/ business / house but now I think I am getting the hang of it.  Only took me 9 years!

Here are some views of our bedroom. I can't get enough of it. It is my first bedroom that feels like it belongs to a grown up. We also have been working on the yard:

 See, check me out, I did my laundry AND hung it outside!  

 

 

Reason #4


I kinda got a 4th dog! IMG_5757

 

 

Meet Coraline Jackson-Miller. I didn't exactly mean to get a 4th dog, but I did and we love her. She might take a plane ride to MN to live with Dan's family who are looking for a dog, but we will see. We are getting pretty attached;)


Reason #5, and the biggest reason for not blogging…


We designed a ton of new stuff! You can see our 2009 Holiday Gear on our site here100x-mastree

 

 

New Fall line here: 

Fallsets
And lots of new colors of flowers!Orangeandlemon There are some other new Mimi Green designs on the way, but those I will keep under wraps. Until next time, and I promise it won't be months this time!

Next week when we get our new doggie hair bows in — yes I am totally letting the cat out of the bag early because I am so excited about them! They match our collars — I am going to style my hair like Zoey's 😉   I'm sure mine won't be as cute though…

Meet Gretel.  She is super fancy in her Tangerine (Harpo) Collar and Lollipop Flower, right?

2browneyedfox.squarespace

Her mamma is Brown Eyed Fox and she was kind enough to write about us on her AWESOME blog this week. If you haven't read her blog, run over there and do so. I love the photos, the design, and the writing.  I am totally addicted and although I wasn't going to ad any more blogs to my Google Reader (I have way too many to read everyday!) I had to add hers.

If you want to look as beautiful as Gretel you can buy the collar here and the flower here 😉

The All Consuming Doggie Shirt

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

So I've been gone for awhile and part of the reason is these new shirts. I have been designing, adjusting, adding, photographing and messing with these shirts for weeks.

Here is a photo of the most recent incarnation:

It is like a shirt, but also like a dress. Here is Zoe wearing it at the Spring Pugnic.

Everything she wears looks good, but I am pretty impressed with the shirt — finally!

In a few weeks we will be offering the collar to match this shirt. That turned out way cute too.

pugs shirts

I don't have a great photo of Zack in his alphabet shirt, but you can kinda see how handsome he looked in this photo. That pug behind him, I almost stole that guy. He was the cutest! And he had just undergone plastic surgery to remove some of his face wrinkles because he was getting infections. He was going around telling everyone that he had a little freshening up done for the Pugnic. Either way, he was the cutest! 😉

Back to the shirts– I am not sure that I am describing them well. I call the letter shirt the Alphabet Shirt, but really it is the Initial Shirt since the customer chooses the dogs first initial for us to sew on. I think people don't know that they choose the letter! What do you think?

You can get this beautiful shirt here.

Mimi Green in her natural environment….

Posted on by Amanda Jackson

I've been wanting to post these photos for over a month now and just haven't had time!  I met Nicole at     3 Dogs and a Chick  when I fell in love with her Adopt a Dog Shirts (witch I now own!) She placed a wholesale order with us and we have developed a great friendship!  Someday I want to go out to Ft. Walton Beach Fl to see her fabulous shop. Until then, I have these photos — doesn't her store make Mimi look so good!?

These next photos are from before she started carrying Mimi, but I want you to see how cute the store is

Noah mixing them all up (while Etta and Auggie help;) The one sitting on Auggie's bouncer is blank, Noah chose that one first, how a blank one ended up in there who knows!IMG_8234

Then Noah's dirty little hands chose a winner! And she has a very beautiful name. hehe.

Auggie clapped. The whole thing made him very happy. Afterward we let him play with the entries and he dumped them ALL over my studio. It was okay with me since he had such a good time doing it, its just paper afterall 😉 (at least that is how I explained it to my husband!)

Congrats Amanda and thank you to everyone who entered. We will do this again very soon.
