Hi guys,
My name is Giang, I'm from Vietnam. I currently have a cat now. My shop is all about animals shoes. They are the cooperations of me and my Mom since she retired from working.
Retirement made my Mom kind of depressed, she thought she was no longer useful (hurt to hear that), so she tried to do many things, cleaned the house 2 times a day, tried many kinds of cake, cookies, made crochet, knitting clothes for my nephew (he got tons of clothes that time) or even tried to be a insurance saler (but failed because she's not kind of persuative person)..
It's so strange to see my Mom tried that hard because she's used to be our shoulder to rely on. I realized that my Mom is getting old and it's my turn to be her shoulder. One day, an idea of cooperating my designs with her crochet/knitting to create something really good such as clothes which my nephew always have. Why not? She is a Mom, a Grandmom, she can create really great crafts for kids. That's why Bup Handicraft was born.
Bup Handicraft is a story of little things created by retired workers such as my Mom, who seem to lost their edge but still make precise things with a great love to children.

hi all! my name is tina and I run chez grey with my husband. we have three grey cats (hence our name!) that we're absolutely smitten with. they are named bob the cat, lucas, and tilde. all three are rescues. the boys love each other and spend their days attached at the hip. the girl is very small at just 3 pounds full grown! she is a bobtail cat and the softest thing you'll ever touch. we are not sure why she didn't grow much beyond kittenhood, but some of her siblings are the same way. she was the first kitten we ever adopted!
we started doing pet portraits for friends on handmade cards, and after about the tenth time of hearing, "you should really do this for people, they might pay you!" we started our shop, and some people have indeed paid for portraits (hooray!).

nice to meet you all :) we welcome any collaborations or co-promotions on instagram and facebook. find me on instagram: @tinalibby. have a good day!

Hi There!
My name is Diahn. My husband Paul and I opened our shop Tailwaggers Bay about 3 months ago. We are excited to be a part of this team! Animals and nature are true passions of ours.
We make something a bit different for pet lovers...we make rock art with dog and animal images. Our largest focus is dogs however, we plan to expand to include other animals. We also design and create dog-themed graphics and apply them to T-shirts.
We are strong proponents of rescued animals and share our home with two such rescues. A Lab boy with an enthusiastic and full-bodied wag and a girlie Golden who is our positive ambassador.
Our shop's theme is to encourage, experience and spread a lifestyle in which we "live pawsitive" with animals. We support handmade products and small businesses. Etsy is a great match for us and is giving us the opportunity to spread our message as well as provide our handmade products to many animal enthusiasts.

[MichelleAPerez]

Hello there! I started to make pet portraits after rescuing my pit mix from a kill shelter. She inspired me to focus on volunteering at my local shelters, ACCT Philly and the PSPCA in helping animals like her get the love that they deserve. For this reason 10% of all purchases made at my store is being donated to a local animal shelter.

Hi! I just joined this group. We are a new business selling homemade, organic dog treats. We would love to one day expand to cat treats and possibly even more animals in the future.

All our ingredients go to local farmers and markets and a portion of all proceeds contribute to local animal shelters near us!

Hi everyone!

My name is Mary from Perfect Dog Bows and I have 2 pampered Shih Tzu's named Minnie and Maggie. I started making dog bows in 1999 for the lack of finding dog bows that I liked for my pets. What started as a hobby quickly
became full-time. I work full-time from my home making dog bows plus
quite successful with my Plexus health & Wellness business. I am so
thankful to be able to be home with my babies all day!

We recently re-located to sunny beautiful Florida but are Michigan natives.

Glad to have joined the team!!

Hi! My name is Joann Carroll! I started my RaggedyBritches shop on ETSY in 2008 selling just primitive dolls and patterns. I recently added sugar glider bonding pouches to the things I offer in my shop though. I kind of got into this through my daughter who had asked me to help her design a bonding pouch with no exposed seams for her sugar gliders. After a while she sold all her critters out because she was tired of fooling with them, and she gave me enough fabrics to make about 500 of the pouches.

In 2012 my husband of 38 years passed away from lung cancer. I needed a companion because I was not used to living alone. And this needed to be a special companion because I had allergy induced asthma. I had also acquired six stents after having had two heart attacks, and needed encouragement to take walks. This is when I got Holly, my Yorkshire Terrier. She does not set off my asthma, and she wakes me up every morning for a brisk walk, and expects this same brisk walk every evening. The man who sold her to me claimed she was just 3 years old, but she is an old girl like me. This does not matter to me though. Besides being a good walking companion Holly knows how to do a lot of tricks. She can sit up, roll over, play dead, speak, and can even beg with the best of them. In fact sometimes I would just love to have a meal when she was not begging!

My name is Christina and I have been in business for about a month! I love making dog treats and my big focus is on making them healthy and nutritious, but also tasty enough that your fur baby will keep wanting more!

[AutumnSkySewing]

Hi everyone! Last year I was looking for a way to make some extra cash. As we all know, caring for pets is not cheap! So, I started making dog collars. I've had some local sales, but not many on Etsy. So now I'm joining teams, trying to get my name out there. I mostly make heavy duty dog collars and leashes, but I have branched out to making children's cloth books, throw pillows and even horse halters, which will be posted soon. Custom orders are always welcome!

[raggedybritches]

Hello! I am Joann Carroll from RaggedyBritches. I live in an apartment in Knoxville TN with my little Yorkie named Holly.

I am a primitive doll artist with a leaning toward the exotic. What this means is that I have always been into making dolls, but recently my daughter got me into making bonding Pouches for her sugar gliders then she stopped raising them and gave me all her business. I have more then 500 of these little pocketbook type zippered pouches to sell, and these pouches are made so that there is no raw exposed seams anywhere in the bags, and they are sold at a decent price. Come check them out.

Hi everyone! I'm Rachel. I just opened my Cat Diggity Dog Boutique on the 15th. I've always been an animal lover and have had many pets growing up. Now my own family has pets running around the house. We have a Golden Retriever, 2 cats, and a guinea pig named Batman. I'm a stay at home mom to two boys. Yes they named the guinea pig! :) Our furry family members inspired me to do my shop. I'm excited to be a part of this group!

Hi everyone! My name is Alysson, owner of Lots of Spots Bakery and Boutique. I started my shop back in January crocheting scarves for my short-haired dogs. I have both a Dalmatian and a German Shorthair and the winters are not always so kind to my very active pups. I wanted to make items that were practical, yet affordable. I want people to see how much love and detail I put into everything I do. Being a perfectionist, my customers will almost certainly be happy with their products! Thank you so much for reading this and I hope you find my shop to be fun and refreshing!

I'm excited to join this community! Looking forward to hearing more from all of you.

[DogsBestTrend]

Hi everyone! I sell dog bandanas, dog collars, dog ID tags, and jewelry for pet owners. Come check out my shop if you have a dog :) I love making my items as it has become a hobby of mine. Some of my collars are made from upcycled fabric, but most are from new fabric.

[CountryCharmArt]

Hi, I'm Susan, professional artist living on a small farm in Maryland. We have 2 horses, 1 small pony, two dogs, 4 cats and a new walk on in the barn we call Homer because he is trying to make a new home for himself. The other cats don't like him. We also have 17 beautiful white doves. They are incredibly nice birds.
Most of my art has been architectural but have always enjoyed drawing animals. have just done a series of cat studies for the etsy shop and will probably expand to other animals as time allows.
Look forward to seeing all the great shops on this team!
