So much to report!

After a busy summer, we've been getting back to crafting this fall! It's time to report in!

Nemo and Mittens love to sleep on it already.

We have the pattern for this project up for sale in our Etsy store now, too.

Preview: The Winter Collection

Our moms asked us to post this quick preview of their Lazy Cat Winter Collection that will be showcased at Suwanee Springs on Main St in Ann Arbor.

We suggested that they use lots of jewel tones for the winter! Nemo prefers fall colors because they look so beautiful with his orange fur. :)

Keep your eyes out for new Lazy Cat Boutique pieces that will soon be appearing in the Etsy store. They make great Christmas and holiday gifts for that special someone in your life! And, if you want a special piece for your kitty cat, be sure to let us know! We love wearing fancy jewelry. Does anyone else have any pictures to share of kitties wearing jewelry?

Our consignment display!

Our moms finally brought home some pictures of their jewelry for sale at Suwanee Springs in Ann Arbor! We thought you would like to see the pictures too. :) Then, you can head on over to Main St to see them in person!

The display case contains the Sunset Blvd (red quartz, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals), the London (blue goldstone, hematite, blue adventurine, and Swarovski crystals), the Madrid flame jasper, red jasper, black agate, bloodstone, and Swarovski crystals), the Kalahari (Botswana Agate), and the Athens (lemon chrysoprase, serpentine jade, Swarovski crystals):

The Innsbruck (snowflake obsidian, black onyx) was displayed on a mannequin by the entrance door:


And the Sedona (goldstone) was displayed on a torso mannequin by above the clothing rack by the cash register:

The Photos Are In!

Yay! Our moms just showed us the photos they took at the Ann Arbor Art Fair of the Lazy Cat table. We thought you might like to see them too. :) You can see that the table was actually set up right in front of Suwanee Springs, which is where our moms now have their new Lazy Cat Boutique line of jewelry on consignment!
