{a greyhound birthday}

what's that? today is your birthday, hound?

are you feeling like an old lady now that you are 8 years old?

no more racing for real?

life is good being a retired hound.

and maybe you'll get a present in your signature wrapping paper.

but we know what you really want is a bowl full of cheese. :)

also i should add that for any of you searching for your new best friend, greyhounds make wonderful pets and there are so many hounds looking to be adopted. you would think a greyhound would be high strung and require lots of exercise. but as evidenced by the photos above, greyhounds know when they are retired and are actually just big couch potatoes. read more about them and adopt your hound today.

{greyhound love}

in honor of bella the g.h. & my dear friend kl, here are a few greyhound approved and inspired home and stationery designs. with the help of designers like kelly wearstler (above left) and jonathan adler (above right), the greyhound has made her way into modern and especially hollywood regency inspired home designs.

dove linen pillow from thomas paul, i have been admiring it locally from the paris market in savannah but you can also find it in their online store

the greyhound takes an air of sophistication in this lovely table lamp (currently on sale at inside avenue), pick up a pair of them for elegant symmetry on bedside or living room tables.

turns out there is a bit of an appreciation for our happy sighthounds on etsy, check out this delightful painting found in vivstrauss' etsy shop.

{bella}

it seems only natural to introduce bella, the little greyhound, who keeps things in perspective and is a reminder that simplicity is the easiest path to contentment.
