Popular Cool Ties and New Uses

My friend Karen bought a couple of Cool Ties from me two weeks ago.  When I saw her again this week, she said that the Cool Ties were just great, and she found that recently, they really came to the rescue for her.  Her daughter took sick and spiked a fever.  To help comfort her, Karen took off the Cool Tie that she had been wearing and put it on her daughter.  She said that the relief on her face was immediate.  It helped stabilize her fever and made her more comfortable.  Karen let her keep it, and she bought two more this week. 

Figuring that if the Cool Ties worked so well on people, Karen also bought a Cool Collar for her dog.  That was the whole idea behind the design and creation of the two related lines.  I have had a lot of satisfied customers in a short time.  One of these happens to be my neighbor, owner of Cooper, who is my Aussie model, shown in previous posts.  She hosted a Doggie Birthday Party (her words :-) and needed gifts.  What could be better than Cool Collars and Cool Ties?  Within a very short time her "shopping" was finished and delivered to her house. 

My regular pet scarves are selling like hotcakes.  They are the type that the collar goes through - not tied on.  The fussy pet will not even know the cute little scarf is there, as long as the collar is always there to begin with.


 I have been very excited by the wealth of colors now available to make my poly-cord leashes from.  Hot pink, yellow, green, purple, even camo!  It's such fun putting together different combinations of colors and weaves, making each one unique! 

The Downtown Lakeland Farmers Curbside Market started up again Saturday.  It was nice to see lots of my "regulars" as well as lots of new folks.  That's a regular Saturday gig for me, although I am considering expanding into both the Dog Event market and the Craft Show Market.  I have so much inventory that it barely fits in my car!  I got there to set up and realized that I really needed another table!  But there's no room in my car for another table!  It was pretty crowded, but it turned out OK.

I was asked by a man in Lowes today where I got my Cool Tie.   He said he had been trying to find them, but wasn't having any luck.  He and his friend, who has a black lab (who overheats easily) may be my next customers at www.bahandbags.etsy.com.
