Do you have a poodle lover in your family? If you do, you’ll understand my dilemma. I didn’t have a lot of money to spend this year, and a darling enamel poodle pin (which was specifically requested) seemed out of the question. How would I find something for less than thirty bucks? It was a nightmare thought, but thank goodness for the internet! It didn’t take too much searching to come up with a very nicely done chocolate poodle pin in a classic puppy cut. The artist was from Florida, so I had plenty of time to get it before Christmas, even though the request was pretty last minute.

Attractive dog breed jewelry is most often found at dog shows, but even then you don’t always find exactly what you’re looking for. It was relieving to discover this site, because I have somewhere to send all my doggy friends now. And I hope this artist continues designing things in this breed, one of the most difficult to pull of well.

I appreciate the work that goes into making life-like jewelry, and I think all of us should support our country’s artists, wherever you may live.
