Friday Find! Pawsitively Elegant!!

Happy Friday All! Wish I could say it was "happy" but right now I am running a temp/fever and having sinus issues, took everything out of me to get up to post this but I had promised Brenda that I would.


One day while surfing Twitter I happened upon these GORGEOUS elevated dog/cat bowls, they are stunning! In full disclosure, no I do not have one nor have I purchased one (yet) but they are on my "wish list".  Enjoy!




Welcome to Pawsitively Elegant, a division of Defining Designs by cms.  Your pampered pets deserve the very best!  What better way to show them you care by giving them a one-of-a-kind stained glass mosaic customized elevated dog/cat bowl, a leash/attire holder to hold their favorite leash and attire, a picture frame to show off their beautiful portrait or a pet urn to keep them close to your heart when they cross rainbow bridge. 

 
 
Our unique and beautiful designer elevated dog/cat bowls are made with wood, top quality stained glass, stainless steel bowls, gems and dog/cat embellishments.  They have been sealed for protection to allow for easy cleanup and protection from food and water.  A frame is attached around the edges of each feeder to add to the overall style of the feeder.  The legs can be stained or painted and come in a variety of sizes.  Whether you need an elevated  feeder 2.5" from the floor, or one that is 26", we can accommodate your needs.

 
 

Commemorate the life of your beloved pet by putting their ashes in a beautiful custom mosaic stained glass pet urn.  Each one comes with a pottery paw, sayings and gems.  The bottom is removable with 4 small screws allowing you to put the ashes safely inside.  A photo holder is also included if you'd like to put it on top.

How many times have you searched your home for the dog/cat leash, collar or treat bag?  Often times people don’t have a dog/cat leash holder due to the unsightly appearance of a hook on the wall.  Having pet furniture or accessories in the home doesn’t have to be hidden and can now bring style and elegance to your home. 

Our pets truly are “man’s best friend” and love us unconditionally.  Show them off proudly as one of the family by putting their photo in a mosaic cat/dog picture frame whether it’s at home or at the office.  Each frame is made with stained glass, gems and dog/cat embellishments.

Having a family pet doesn't mean you can't blend their accessories with your decor and do it with style.  If you have a friend or family member that has pampered pets, give them a unique pet gift that will keep them smiling.  

Since our items are one-of-a-kind we always invite custom orders.  For your convenience we take Visa, Mastercard and Discover as well as PayPal.

Pet Portraits To Purr About!

There is a gem that is hiding on Facebook and on the net that I am so happy that I found! Her name is Ashley Reid (on Facebook she can be found under "Ashley Beech Reid") and she is a "Pet Portrait Artist".  There are many out there but in my book Ashley is heads and tails above the rest. Why? Well one reason is that I am the daughter of a talented artist myself (and I dabble in sketching) and I KNOW good stuff when I see it, the other is that Ashley isn't just working to benefit herself, she will donate 10% of any commission/gift certificate purchase to the animal shelter, rescue, or cause of your choice! She already has made 19 donations since Feb 27th, 2010.....that's no small kibble.


Ashley will do portraits of your cat or dog from photographs that you send her and the results are pure Purrrrrfection!!

Ashley grew up in Beaver County, PA and  possesses a BSA in Art Education and a Master's in Art (both earned at Edinboro University) and she works in a variety of mediums (mostly Acrylic and Oil paint) and her work is available in a wide variety of sizes and pricing.

When I found Ashley I pounced on the opportunity to have Dakota and Cody together in one painting, showcasing their special relationship, painted for posterity, to have a unique and original memory that I will cherish forever. I can enjoy it that much more knowing that I have benefited some animals in the process.
