If you don’t read Pet Sugar you should give it a try. Super fun dog stuff. And while you are at it, check out Casa Sugar, Pop Sugar, Buzz Sugar, Bella Sugar, FIt Sugar, Lil Sugar, Yum Sugar.. should I go on?  You get the point, they have a ton of websites for every interest and all of them are super to look at/ read.

We are so honored to be a July Must Have!

The Real Henry Miller

People are always asking me about who works here at the Mimi Green studio so I am going to give everyone a peek in.

First, I think we should start with the backbone of Mimi Green, the hardest worker around, the real boss, Henry Miller.

henry, quaker parrot

Sometimes he gets really mad at us if we are talking and messing around.

And he’s been known to take out his anger on our thread, machines, and fabric. But we know he always means well.

He’s pretty convinced that he is a human, even tries to drink water out of cups 😉  At least he told me that was water in the cup…

I was kind of put off last week when Dan bought himself a desk that practically takes up half of our space, but turns out that it was a great purchase. Henry now spends his days pacing the long desk hollering out commands such as  “Give me a Kiss” or “Come here girls”.

Dan got Henry as a birthday present when he was just a little hatchling. (is that what you call a baby parrot? I don’t know, but it sounds right!)

He now has a pretty big vocabulary and learns new sounds and words everyday.

Now, if I could just teach him to say, “Amanda You‘re Good Enough, You‘re Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like You!” 

“Baby got back” will also do.

I am so in love! I think they know how pretty they look in their Mimi Green flowers, or at least I hope they do 😉

Trixie & Peanut + Mimi Green!

We are finally on the Trixie + Peanut Website! yahoo!Screenshot1

They named the collars the "Harvest Collection" which I think is totally smart!

I don't see our flowers up there yet, but you can get them in the Trixie + Peanut store :

Cross your fingers that the collection does well!

Meet Paris and Zoey, fashionistas extraordinaire

OMG, these photos make me so happy!  Here is Paris totally decked out in Mimi Green. Her momma is Carol of  Bloomingtails  Dog Boutique which is a super cool on-line dog shop you should check out if you haven’t already.

Can you even believe Carol’s garden?? I love the flowers — we have nothing like that here in NM.

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…

 

We love our customers!

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

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 😉
