Harry was our 16 year old cat that passed away two years ago of kidney disease and Monkey (around 6 years old) is currently dying of kidney failure. I sent her a photo of Harry and a photo of Monkey. So I wrote to her again and asked her to make two plates.
They were just as excited about getting some plates made of our cats as I was. This certainly got my wheels turning my friends and when I got home I talked to the kids about it.

Beside plates she also sells, cloth clutches, pillows, glasses, bowls, illustrations, Christmas ornaments but most excitingly she also takes custom orders. I already included the tea towels in my GIFT GUIDE.īut what most people probably don’t know is that Rachel also has her own Etsy shop (click HERE). The items support the ASPCA® they’ll donate $1 to the animal welfare organization per item purchased. She also helped design the new ASPCA line(click HERE) at West Elm which are inspired by some of Instagram’s most famous pets.
She said there might be another one coming out, so I will wait and see what that one is.Īnd table top accessories too like this cool fox cake plate: I am slightly obsessed with this little duck brass lamp she designed and I would have totally bought one for my desk but the last one was just snatched up at the store right before I got there.
Which includes more home and kitchen accessories. I also met up with my friend Carrie of Making Lemonade Blog and we chatted with Rachel about her new line at West Elm. When I went, I was actually hoping that she brought some of her other plates she makes, but she only brought some of her prints. I’m a huge fan of her plates and if you are new around here then you might not know that my entire kitchen wall (see more HERE) is covered mostly with her West Elm animal plates. You might have seen my photo on Instagram already. Two Sundays ago I went to the Philadelphia King of Prussia Mall to West Elm, because the artist who makes their Dapper Animal Plates had her first ever popup shop and I really wanted to meet her. This week I’m going to focus on getting our couch into the basement, so I just wanted to share something quickly with you today. Have you seen it? If not, you can click HERE to see it. Yes please! That makes me think of the Adele remake I just saw online. It’s always fun to hang out with the neighborhood ladies over a glass of wine instead of at the bus stop. I’m sharing this post with Between Naps on the Porch.How was your weekend? My cookie exchange was a success I think. The frost will be on the pumpkin all too soon! I’ve marked the hour of low tide on my daily planner so I can walk the beach with the warm waves swirling around my feet, and soak in the warmth of the sun. I’m conscious of wanting to hold back time to enjoy every warm day that remains of the summer. The lobster claw salt & pepper is Pier 1, this year and is now on clearance. The cutlery is Berry & Thread from Juliska. The galvanized chargers are from Pottery Barn this year, and the white dinner plate is Queen Anne Pillivuyt from Williams Sonoma many years ago, but still in stock. The red striped napkins are from Williams Sonoma a couple of years ago. In keeping with the beachy theme of the octopus, flamingo, shark and lobster, I styled the table with lemonade in milk bottles with colourful straws from Pier 1. No matter how virtuous my intentions are at the outset of the holiday, we seem destined to endure frosty stares from the baggage check-in people as they slap “HEAVY” tags on our bags due to the ceramics packed in among the sweaters and jeans… On our trip to the UK this past spring, I was very pleased to discover that the store in London, England had some that I hadn’t been able to find in the States, so into our luggage they went. I bought a bunch of the plates online last winter - a scattering from each of the different series.

In addition to the sea creatures, there are four Christmas themed “couples” of animals, many woodland types in more autumn and winter-ish clothing, and a new series featuring an oryx gazelle, a hoppoe bird, a jaguar and a macaque monkey. From what I can gather, it comprises four different groupings of animals. The Dapper Animal series is quite extensive.
