Pied Piper

That’s right, Posy has some competition in the cutest dog contest here at the studio. Oh who am I kidding, no dog will ever out-cute Posy, but she is pretty stinkin’ adorable!!  Piper is a tiny scotty pup that belongs to my mom, Dee.  She travels with Mom to our retail store everyday and will be happy to lick you to death when you visit.  She is so little that she fits right in your arms, but be careful, she bites when she’s ready to run around again!

Posy is not so sure about this youngster, she is making sure she knows her place at the bottom of the totem pole.  Piper is oblivious to Posy’s annoyance and just loves to stir up trouble with “the boss”.

Do you have any funny puppy stories?  Share them in the comments below and one lucky reader will win a Coton Colors Dog Bowl personalized with their favorite fido’s name!  Woof, woof!

Meet Kristin!

I’d like you to meet our National Sales Director, Kristin Hendrix.  Kristin eats, sleeps and breathes Coton Colors.

She is so successful at her job because she is our number one fan, her house is FULL of Coton Colors – she really can’t get enough.  Her favorite pastime (besides working with customers) is planning parties and events.  She plans the most elaborate, whimsical, themed parties you have ever seen.

Don’t believe me?  I give you exhibit A: Her daughter’s 7th birthday party. Lyndee wanted a slumber party, but Kristin wasn’t too keen on staying up all night with sugared up seven year olds.  She came up with the idea of having a “night owl pajama party” where all the girls come in their pjs and enjoy all the trappings of a slumber party… and then go home. Brilliant, isn’t it?!?

To bring the theme to life, Kristin constructed a table that was made up like a bed, complete with night owl pillows!

The girls were given the spa treatment complete with paraffin wax treatments, foot baths, manicures and pedicures.  Pink polka-dot was the polish of choice for this stylish group.  The spa stations were set up right next to the girl talk tent where they could go in and get their gossip on!While their nails were drying, the girls hit the hair-do station.  Kristin had recruited a hip hairstylist to doll the girls up with crimps and curls.  Kristin creatively used Coton Colors birthday bowls to hold all of the hairpins and ponytail holders.  The hairspray was thick in the air, but the girls were loving every minute!Finally, you can’t have a slumber party without pizza and cupcakes!  The party goers enjoyed their snacks on our precious lattice ruffle plates and the cupcakes looked too cute on our stacked cake stands.  (I told you Kristin is Coton Colors through and through!)I can tell you one thing, the birthday girl was in heaven.  After being pampered and fed, all her friends went home with fancy fingers, trendy toes, beautiful bouffants and lots of great memories.   Her party was the talk of the elementary, and all the little girls are now asking their Mommies for faux slumber parties!!

As you can see, Kristin has super skills in the party planning department and lucky for us, she puts her skill set to work here every day selling and servicing Coton Colors customers.  Hope you enjoyed meeting her, we sure are glad she is a part of the Coton Colors family!!

Posy Post

My social calendar is filling up quickly with derby parties so I can’t horse around with my get-up.  Can you help me decide…  should I go with the jockey look, the rose theme, or the high-fashion frock?

You can bet I’ll be the cutest one at the track no matter what I wear,
but I always like to be a winner with my wardrobe!
See you on the sidelines!!

Posy Post

» Posted In Design Studio, Seasons

Hi everyone!  I’m Laura’s amazingly cute, sweet, adorable dog Posy.  I have the BEST Mommy, and I love coming to work with her everyday.   I try to be good, really I do.  I always come when called, I’m a great lap warmer, and I never leave ‘presents’ under the conference table.  Ok, maybe once {or twice}.

As you know, Easter is almost here, and I’m totally stressing about my outfit for the big egg hunt.  Everyone will be there, and I have to look my best.  I’m thinking I’ll need a new collar, ’cause let’s face it, I don’t do Easter bonnets.

How do you like these?  The white one with the Easter eggs on it would be fitting for the event, but I look sooo much better in pink.  Hmmm, decisions, decisions!

Between me and you, I’m a little worried that my Mom will get carried away with all of this Easter egg dyeing.   Please help her remember girls, pink is only for collars, bows and toes!

Come on in…

Hey y’all! My name is Laura and I am the owner of Coton Colors, a fun line of hand painted products. While I love anything to do with art and self-expression, this is my first attempt at expressing myself through a blog. *Yikes* I have to admit I’m a little intimidated, but I am really looking forward to exploring another avenue to share all of the creative ideas that flow in and out of my studio.
