when I'm not accessorizing my customers...

I'm accessorizing a dog. This good ol boy, "Champ" from Boxer Rescue Los Angeles was a ton of fun to work with today. I added the bandana and reindeer antlers for good measure.

And I'm always a sucker for a good star sighting. I was oblivious to who was on the set since I got about 4 hours of sleep. (Hello! I was still worried about waking up even though I set two different alarm clocks.) My un-caffeinated self looked up and saw Carnie Wilson and her Wilson Phillips gals doing a sound check. I was excited to see them getting ready for the segment right after the Adopt A Pet. I can't wait to buy their new Christmas album, "Christmas in Harmony."

Little do they know that when I'm out vintage shopping, I scour CD's. And found their debut classic CD recently, "Wilson Phillips".

I can't help but sing along during my road trips to this classic song.

But I am now totally off track. Cheers to Champ on TV today. And wishing all of you a fabulous holiday season.

doggie shop girl, Pixie Mae

For the day, our new doggie was an honorary shop girl. Well behaved, until she decided to get up on the couch. We love our new Pixie Mae.

Boxer love...

Today I did my volunteer work. Yep...walking boxers. I love this breed and there are many of them at the Boxer Rescue LA. I walked around 6 or 7 dogs today...from frisky to barely able to walk. What fun!

Jack Rabbit. He's so not deaf! He's cool.

Bentley. I had to run to keep up with him. Tons of fun!

Patch. Check out his cool markings. He was the bounciest dog of the day.

Rita. She was just rescued. She couldn't walk a few days ago when she was found abandoned. She's doing a lot better and sporting a groovy sweater.

Sunday, Sunday. And walking boxer dogs

I love this old photo of my Grandfather, Donald Coppock... and his boxer dog, Maiden.  It was taken in the early 70's, I'm thinking.  I grew up with boxer dogs and still love them.   So today Danielle worked at the boutique, and I did volunteer work at Boxer Rescue LA.  I'm wiped out. There were so many fabulous boxers who needed a good walk and attention.  I can't wait to go back!  XO, M.E.
