Product Review: Etsy seller "TieMeUpAprons" - Diva Dog Chihuahua Retro Pinup Diner Apron

While searching on Etsy for adorable Chihuahua products to add to my "must have" list, I found this cuter than cute Retro Pinup Chihuahua Apron by "TieMeUpAprons"!  (If anyone wants to surprise me with one, I won't complain, lol)!







I talked with the owner of the shop, Anita, and she kindly offered to sell these aprons at an amazing sale price - $49.99 through the end of February!!!  This adorable apron is handmade in Michigan (where I grew up) and is created using a discontinued Kaufman Diva Dog fabric.  So if you like this sassy little number, don't wait!


Description:
"Apron has two tiers: top tier measures 12" and the bottom 16". The apron is expertly finished with double fold bias tape, and the pocket and bib are lined. There are no raw edges--nothing is "tacked on" and apron straps are reinforced before the trim is sewn on.

The apron has super long ties, and should fit a range of sizes.

Fabrics are 100 percent cotton, but please treat this beauty gently--machine wash on gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat.

I can make at least three more Diva Dog chihuahua aprons, so if you'd like more than one please let me know and I'll get sewing!

Shipping cost reflects Priority Mail-- I throw in delivery confirmation at no additional fee".

KO Couture Pet Fashion Model - Kiki

I am so excited to introduce my next KO Couture pet fashion model - the lovely Kiki Perez.  This little Puerto Rican princess is more than just an adorable face, silky hair and designer clothes.  Kiki is a dedicated therapy dog.  She and her mom Mayra bring joy to so many people as they visit children's hospitals, nursing homes, cancer patients, mental health clinics, women's correctional facilities, and abused girls institutions.  Kiki has also applied for therapy visits to the Jeff Gordon Children's Hospital in North Carolina.  She is a very happy little yorkie and enjoys greeting everyone she meets.

This amazing therapy dog is also a major trend setter.  She brought the KO Couture feather dress to Puerto Rico about a year ago when she one first place for most fashionable in the "PHA Celebrity Dog Fest" in Palmas del Mar, Humacao, Puerto Rico.  Dogs everywhere are watching her to see what is haute and now in luxury pet fashion.  Here are a few pics of Kiki modeling her one-of-a-kind KO Couture pet fashions:
