Primo's Pawtourage doggie gift bag project

My Primo's Pawtourage line, dog themed products, is working on an incredible collective project, currently a Maltese doggie gift bag! Including me, there are 8 wonderful Etsy artisans involved in the project. Our goal? To make a high end custom designed gift bag for dog lovers in general and Maltese lovers specifically. I will begin to feature each of the artisans involved with a pic of their submitted work for the bag. Our first project is to be donated to the American Maltese Association Rescue Raffle being held at the National Specialty in May in Atlanta. we are all verye xcited to be working on this project together. For me, this is a first, to be working in unison with other artisans, and it is challenging and fun! Mainly working with creative juices and time constraints are a challenge but I am loving every minute of it and must give full credit to all the other artisans for making this such a wonderful experience.

Here is who is involved currently:

Monique of Mischyfpaws
Megan of RueDesign
Rachel of a Time To Heal
Stacey Lange of Inkwear
Diana Ledesma of Designs by CATALINA
Lisa of Mias Munchies
Leann Terrill of Terrills Tiles

New Primos Pawtourage Project!

After a year of thinking about it, I finally launched Primo's Pawtourage's newest and most awesome project: a dog breed specific high end doggie gift bag! The dog breed is the Maltese, we will see where it takes us! One bag will be a donation for the American Maltese Association's rescue raffle at their dog show in May 2010, something dear to my heart, as my Maltese Blossom is a rescued puppymill survivor! We will also be launching a retail verison of the same bag! I canvassed for contributing artisans from Etsy and there are now 7 of us involved in the project! Everyone is really enthusiastic and excited, this is so cool! Even if we don't sell one bag we will have had fun and helped out with Maltese rescue! Here is what we have so far: an applique tote bag to hold it all, an embroidered mess bag and towel, a key chain, a placemat, an Eco toy, scrumptious dog treats, a bar of my hand milled dog soap with emu oil, a bar of paw print soap, a 3D Maltese soap dog, and a cool Maltese designed t shirts! This tote bag better be big! I am looking into advertising with Maltese Monthly to get our retail bag off the ground and on the market. I will also offer it through my Etsy shop. We'll be looking at other promotional avenues too. I am so stoked about this project, and to be working with such a cool group of people is awesome! To think: one little 5 pound dog started me on this road! Thank you my dearly beloved Primo. I miss you.
