i am the happiest person in the world today! seriously…. over the moon because of this:
a few days ago a longtime blog reader named Lanná contacted me to see if we would be interested in adopting a little pug who needed a home. well, yes, we were thrilled!! i've been wanting (& saving for) a puppy for a long time, but have been spending all my monies on my business (ha! i suppose i spend almost all my money working! that's the life of owning a small business though…. :D). we are really happy that i've been able to find a puppy that needed a home…. it's perfect! if you've been following my blog for a long time you already know that i once owned a very lovely little pug named Cocoa. My sister owns a pug named LoveLove. Anddd my mom also owns a pug… her name is Gigi.🙂 my family really likes pugs. ha!
we named ours Suki and we are already completely in love with her.
lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove.
i'll try not to post puppy photos every day… i'll try. <3
some new cute paper dolls in le shop tonight:
she's a hair stylist, so i gave her some cute hair spray and a blow dryer… plus cute crafty accessories and i love her bunny t-shirt!
and a new collection of fun dresses that fit all 5 dolls! :D
(the girl scout uniform was my brother's favorite…. jeremy likes the skeleton dress. ha! i love it how the boys like my paper dolls!!)
Can't believe it's Friday night already! I am working in the store tomorrow and Sunday because Miss Erin is visiting her new baby nephew in Kansas City! If you're in Springfield, come say hi! I think I'm gonna paint for fun tonight…. and play with the new puppy. What are your weekend plans?
XOXO.elsie

Enjoy your weekend!! 🙂

From one pu lover to another – thank you for rescuing a pug! My pug Aine says HI! To Suki! She is sooooo cute! Congrats! Nan
yayyyy!
Suki is soo cute! I love the photo of the three of you.
I’m happy for you guys that it worked out to adopt her!
love the paper doll photos! 🙂
I’m working all weekend… boo. but I am going to sneak in some Twilight reading too… (lol! I caved…. sorry girl)
have a great weekend!! XO
How about a pug paperdoll?? That would be very, very cute. Suki is adorable! The right dog always finds you.
Suki is ADORABLE! New puppy day in our house too, we adopted an 8 month old little Maltese/Shitzu from a local rescue. So, we’ve got Oliver at home now with his kitty brother, Gatsby, and his kitty sister, Daisy.
Ahhhhh! Painting for fun! I am so happy to hear that. Please, PLEASE show me when I get back. Thank you for a most wonderful week. I lovelovelovelove youuuuuuuuuuuu!! :0
OMGosh!!! I want a pug puppy sooooo badly. I had a beautiful pug, Sheba about 25 or so years ago and she was just the love of my life. I miss her so much and I’ve wanted to get a pug for the past 20 years or so. Please post lots of pictures! I hope to get my own by Christmas. 🙂
Suki is such a cute name! And please do post puppy photos every day :o)
Suki is so cute!
I am soo proud of you for adopting. When u said u were getting a pup I was praying that u were not buying one. I just lost my best friend of 13.5 years and my heart is in a million pieces. I am hoping to rescue a pooch in his honor. If I can give a dog a 1/4 of the love I gave him, the dog would be sooooo happy!
All the best!
Suki is soo cute! I’m imagining a “pet” line of cute accessories down the road 😀
lovelovelovelovelove her! my sister and i both have pugs, and between we also have a LOT of friends with pugs (seven pugs between five girls!). we went to one of the local pug meetups and were considerably younger and, uhmmm–slightly more colorful (!) than anyone else, so we started our own group! i wish you were closer so you could bring suki!
I love your blog, your art, & puppies!!!
You should make a pug paper doll like someone said above.
😀
Awe she’s so cute! I think the skull dress is my favorite too.
Suki is adorable!!!! Love her name 🙂 Looking forward to seeing more cute pug photos!!!
Congrats on the new addition 🙂
SHE’S ADORABLE!!!
So cute! My heart was smiling. A quick question: Do you think RVA will ever have dresses avaliable?
Els, as a fellow pug slave, I know the love you’re feeling. Congratulations, she is adorable!!
and please, WE WANT PUG PICS EVERY DAY!!!
YaY! I am happi that you were able to get a pug. 🙂 I remember how sad you were.

kristin, yesyes… i’ve been planning & working on some dresses, hoping to release a little collection by Sept. 1. 😀

As a proud owner of a pug, I just had to take a moment to write a quick note to say “That there is nothing in the world that is cuter then a pug.” Enjoy Suki!

Congrats on your new puppy! I think pugs are so darling! Puppy pictures every day wouldn’t be the worst thing, ya know! LOL! ;o)
Ohhhhhh! What a cutie! Congratulations on the new addition to your crafty family. So sweet!
I have a pug too & am still amazed daily at what wonderful dogs they are. My little guy loves everyone, especially kids.
My only advice? Buy ear plugs! They snore. 🙂

Suki is adorable! My in-laws have pugs…They are soooo loveable, with their little warm belly’s. Too cute!!!
Tried some bubble tea on account of you, and had an awesome photoshoot in the rain with my sissy. Would love it if you checked it out: http://talkinwithteenie.blogspot.com/2009/07/silly-hookers-in-rain.html
Suki is adorable! I’m glad you adopted, I adopted my lil guy and he’s just lovely, can’t imagine him without a home.

sooooo cute how old is she… she looks small still. love all the paintings and the paper dresses my fav is the ruffle green one. good luck with your pup elsie..
eeek! how stinkin’ cute…i just love the pic of your family (you, jeremy & suki)!
Talk about Holy Cute!!!!
Wondering why with the paper dolls you don’t have the little “tabs” that anchor the clothing onto the doll? Would make it easier to use.
Congrats on Suki! 🙂
My family is a pug family too =0)
Congrats on your new friend Suki! She’s adorable! We just got a new dog too—it’s a lovely addition to your life…so much love!

Welcome to http://www.tiffanyfree.com
Pugs. The most perfect love I have ever experienced is that from my pugs. They are pure, honest and soooo insightful. I don’t know if I’ll ever comment here again-the computer world has yet to hold my attention-but I saw your pug and I know you have got to feel that tremendous sweeping of love and joy. Wholesome goodness in the perfect package. I have 2 blacks and 1 fawn and 1 husband who looks like a fawn pug. Happy Hearts to your pack always.
Oh my goodness! I’m the mama to a gorgeous little girl pug too. I love her 🙂
And anyone who owns a pug is a blogger I should be following! Glad I found ya.
