The Boutique at Karla’s Cottage is OPEN!

By /

Edited note:  Oh, my gosh! Thank you, to all who came by and ordered from the new store already!  I will add more vintage floral packages in the next couple of days, and  I have added two more Tag Book Kits and two more Bingo card sets, in case those were out when you checked in.

Puppies! 161 

You knew I was going to do this eventually, right?  I love puppies, I love hats, the two had to be together sooner or later!!

Puppies! 136 

Aren't the little cuties getting BIG?  When they were born, they didn't even fill up a hand.  Now look at the size of this little princess!!!

I have to admit, they are not easy to photograph.  95% of my pictures are a blur. Anyone have tips on taking pet pictures?  Of wriggling little pets?

And guess what????  I did it!!! I figured out the problem with my website and have it open and ready to shop in.  I'll be adding a button back to the side of my blog, just click on this picture (on the right hand side bar)  to enter "The Boutique at Karla's Cottage."

Puppies! 

As a thank you for coming by to visit, the first ten shoppers will receive a vintage valentine in their package.

Please, let me know what you think of the site, if you get a chance.

And don't forget, I do have a January giveaway present for you all comments on this blog, all  month, are entered.

    Hi Karla: Loved your new boutique. I am going to keep my eye on that. I wish I would have joined your Valentine Day challenge, I was chicken. Too afraid I was not good enough for your ladies. On seeing some of the entries, I think I was right. Love to follow your blog. Keep up the creative work. Martha

    Some cute stuff! Oh yeah, the puppies are cute too! 🙂 One of my favorite pics of my son is with puppies. He was walking away from us and all nine puppies were trailing after him, soooo cute.

    Taking pictures of wriggling puppies (and other moving objects): Set your camera to “Action” or “Sport” (what it is called will depend on the brand of camera you have, but if you have an icon of a little running stick-figure, that’s the one you need).
    Best of Luck!

    You should make a whole photo serie of puppies and hats. Hats and puppies enough I would say and we are an audience that will never get tired of that. Think Anne Geddes. Then make these series into postcards and sell those sets in your shop, which is awesome! Your hard work pays off now! Good luck on selling.
    (next serie: Sugarwings and the puppies, or should that be the first?)

    Congrats on your new store it looks wonderful!! Those puppies are adorable! Do you have a sport setting on your camera? That is usually what I use. 🙂 I love sugarwings in that coat glad she has gotten some use out of it. I’ve got another pile for her 🙂

    Hi Karla!
    I haven’t had the time to get over to see your shop but it is on my to-do list!
    Maybe you should wiggle your camera in the same general direction that the wrigglers are moving in when you snap a pic.
    LOL….never know just might work.
    Have a great week.

    CONGRATS on your shop opening!!! I really love all these wonderful stuff you stash & I’m so inspired by your creativity. Makes me want to hang out here everyday. I see you make a lot of tags. What do you use them for? They are all so sweet & pretty.

    Your puppies are to darn cute! Put them in all your pictures on your web site and I’m sure everything will sell in no time.
    That shot of the pup in the hat is darling. It would make a cute card!

    Hi Karla,
    Love all the cute puppy photos and the ones with your little girl are adorable!! (didn’t read the blogs yet, so if it isn’t your little girl I’ll find that out later) =0)
    Your creativity on your collages is wonderful, and I love the little rose charm with the pearl on it.
    I’ll visit your store after church. Sounds like it is great!!
    Blessings,
    Barbara Jean
