I’m so, so excited about today’s Scoop! Ted and Angie are the husband and wife team behind Poketo, one of my favorite, go-to shops for awesome home accessories. I love following their adventures on Instagram and keeping up with all their fun announcements on Facebook and Twitter, especially when their adorable little pup, Nori, makes an appearance. As Nori’s number one fan, I figured it was time to find out more about this little fella! Read on to find out what makes Nori tick.

It’s a new month (already?!), which means it’s time for a new Scratchbook artist! I hope you’re excited, because our Scratchbook this month features the work of the immensely talented Evie Kemp. I’m a HUGE fan of her bold illustration style and am flattered that she chose Wrigley and Smash as her Scratchbook muses!

Shaving designs into hair isn’t a new idea, but applying the technique to dogs? Now that’s something I’ve never seen before! According to groomers Jessica Allegri and Amanda Marshall, who came up with the idea during a quiet day at their shop Groomers on the Green, these temporary “tattoos” or “pooch patches” do not hurt (except your dog’s pride, maybe). The whole process — shaving the design with clippers — takes about an hour and lasts up to 14 weeks. Of course, this leads us to our Bark Out Loud question this month:
Would you give your dog a “pooch patch” or temporary hair tattoo? If yes, what design would you choose?

I LOVE THESE. If you’re looking for a fun and unique gift idea for yourself (hey, why not?) or your dog-obsessed friend, consider one of these felt doggies from Eleni Creative! Each fuzzy pup is hand-stitched, hand-stuffed, and designed to look just like your beloved Fido. You can even have multiples made into a hanging mobile! Aaaaamazing.
