Improvements

We've been busy making improvements to our website. Some of the categories, as well as navigation has been restructured. And we have a site search engine, to help you more easily find what you are looking for.

We would love to know what you think.

All New Sienna Sky Earrings

Sienna Sky has unveiled its new designs for summer and late fall, and we have several of them right here.

If you already own a pair of Sienna Sky earrings, you know just how wonderful they are - meticulous in detail, exceptionally crafted, colorful and whimsical. And they are made right here in United States. Considering all this, plus the reasonable price tags, Sienna Sky earrings are a superb value.

We've been selling Sienna Sky earrings for many years and are proud to be an authorized retailer.

Now for the new designs, we are pleased to introduce and carry the following Sienna Sky pieces: Collie earrings, Sea Turtle earrings (pictured) and Ferret earrings. We are also now carrying the Polar Bear earrings and Orca Whale earrings, new to us but not to Sienna Sky.

Bats: Our Friends!

Approaching our driveway during dusk last week, we saw a bat flitting around the front of our house - zooming back and forth. We assumed the bat was using his or her internal sonar to find food. When I got out of the car, the bat would come within inches of me, while making the rounds. I've seen bats before, mostly hanging from sides of buildings. But this is the first time I've seen one this closely.

Some people may see bats as pests, but we love them. As a matter of fact, I am thinking of placing a bat house in the backyard. I've read that it can take a year to attract bats to your backyard, but after seeing last week's bat, I'm hopeful there are more in the area.

Animal Backpacks

Get ready for back to school with our collection of animal backpacks.

We have a fantastic selection of backpacks for animal lovers; including Bungalow 360 owl backpack, dolphin backpacks, penguin backpack, flamingo backpacks, frog backpacks, cat and dog backpack, wild animal backpack, and various horse backpacks.

We carefully select our backpacks for durability as well as style.

Peacock Totes are Back!

After a long break, our peacock tote is back in stock. Colorful, vibrant and roomy, this cotton bag is sure to please any lover of peacocks and birds. Priced at just $17.95.

And it is made in the USA.

Borders Bools

As a lover of books and regular patron of Borders Books, I was sad to hear about the franchise closing. The store in my area had already closed earlier this year, but we still had the one on the other side of town.

Still, this is an opportunity to stock up on some great books. Yes, I have an e-reader, but for me it's not the same as reading a paper version. Aside from good fiction, books about animals are on my list. Do you have a favorite book about animals?

Whales!

Great news for whale lovers. Our whale wristlet bag is back in stock. We've also added a new Bungalow 360 whale item: the whale clutch bag, pictured here, and priced at just $11.95. Bungalow 360 bags are made of natural cotton canvas and are made to last.

Also new are our Sienna Sky orca whale earrings, priced at just $12.95. Sienna Sky earrings are made right here in the USA and are superbly crafted.

Sustainable Trip

Planning on taking a trip to some exotic destination - such as the rainforest to go birdwatching or see other exotic animals? Or maybe to a beach resort to take in some serious scuba diving or snorkeling? Why not stay with hotel and resort operators that take sustainable travel seriously?

A service of Rainforest Alliance called SustainableTrip.org, lets you search for sustainable tourism operators in Latin America and the Caribbean. You can search by region, as well as by country and type of destination.

Happy travels!

New Backpacks for Animal Lovers

It may only be the middle of July, but the new school year will be here in no time. Why not send your student back to school with a fun, stylish backpack?

We have a new assortment of animal backpacks this season, including the dolphin backpack pictured here. We have new styles of horse backpacks, as well as a peace frog backpack and flamingo backpacks.

We choose our backpacks not only for style, but for durability as well.

Network of Pet Professionals

We joined a new organization called Pet Professionals 4 Pet Adoption. What makes this network so special, is that its members advocate for pets in some way. Member businesses include pet boutiques, groomers, animal massage therapists, dog boarding professionals and others.

Making a difference in the lives of animals, and the people who help animals, is part of our company's mission.
