Canine Carnival

This weekend, dog lovers in St. Louis can kick off the month of October by attending the 19th Annual Canine Carnival at Tilles Park in Ladue. Held on Sunday, October 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., this dog-friendly event is presented by the Animal Protective Association (APA) and will feature a pooch parade, pet fashion show, canine contests, APA adoptable dogs, children's activities and vendors. In addition, the Purina Incredible Dog Team will perform three shows. The event is FREE so bring your entire family (canines included!) out for some fun "where the dogs play the games and win the prizes." Ellen

London's Calling...Going on Holiday

In just a few hours, I'll be hopping a plane to London with my husband to take a trip we've been talking about for 15 years! This is the first vacation we've taken without the kids so we are understandably jittery yet excited to take in the sights of London as well as Canterbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, Sissinghurst Castle Garden and whatever else we can fit into a week.

Though I will be gone until September 24th, Best Friends Studios will remain open for business, including my personalized stationery studio. Orders received while I am away will be filled/shipped the week of September 28. Questions? Contact me at at ellen@bestfriendsstudios.com (please note that it may take longer than usual for me to respond due to time difference). In addition, Mary Ann will be happy to help you: maryann@bestfriendsstudios.com. Cheerio! Ellen
