This is Emily. She is a rescued Greyhound. She can beat you in a race but would rather be sleeping on the couch. She is always hungry, and really likes Mexican food. She can never have enough pillows. She gets cold easily, so make sure she has a warm blanket. She might want to borrow your sweater. ******************************** this is a new addition to the toy line…a fully jointed dog. this dog can stand on its own, sit, lay down, and stand on its hind legs with support. really fun to play with because of all of the things she can do! Black fur with white toes and a white "v" on her chest. recycled felt fabric. Available in any colors you see in my shop, just ask. leather riveted tag in ear. hand stamped with "arden and james" logo ********************************* each dog is made to order. I don't use patterns, so each dog has a little different personality. They have a really cute vintage look to them. i can try to make a dog that looks similar to yours if you send me a photo… made from thick felt (from 100% recycled fibers) ***each dog saves about 3 plastic bottles from the landfill*** hand and machine stitched round safety plastic eyes and embroidered nose and mouth fully jointed: head, arms, and legs stuffed with eco-poly fiber and fabric scraps about 16" tall (paw to top of head) and 14" long (nose to end of tail) * supervise children under 3 hand wash, dry in the sun. i can add a custom leather collar for you, with a name/any text you would like. just send me a message and let me know what you would like it to say. I will create a custom listing for you and it will cost $5. allow one week (should be less) for me to make your dog and ship it out

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.
I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.
My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
