It's Back To School Time! Meet Franklin, Our Studious Hound in the Header

Where did Summer go? Whether sending kids off to school again, sending our furbabies to obedience school, or both, it's back to school time! Our Hound in the Header this month is Franklin. He is quite prepared to study hard and go to the head of the class! Hmm, could he actually be a professor rather than a pupil? He certainly looks wise in his glasses! Franklin shares his home (and no doubt his vast knowledge) with our Beagles Team member PoshRe-Creations. Posh's Etsy shop has lovely OOAK reclaimed/repurposed furniture and home decor. Wow! Posh and Franklin are both so clever; first lesson is to check out this great shop! Extra credit is given to those who click on all our shop links! It's the best way to see the talents of the members of the Etsy Beagles Team! ;D

Welcome to our blog!

I hope you enjoy the Etsy Beagle Street team blog! The Beagle Team is a group of artisans who sell their work on Etsy, the place for all things handmade. This is a new blog, which will be "under construction" for a while - not too long; just until I can get everything here, mainly all our members' shops! We currently have over 70 team members, which I refer to as "the pack!" If you are hunting for unique handcrafted items, we have quite a wonderful variety! It's all good, and we hope you give our Etsy shops a big "paws up!" Let us know your favorites, and share your beagle-tales! We strive to keep our blog posts as friendly, warm, and cuddly as our dogs. Profanity, unwarrented links, and just plain snarling will not be tolerated! Beagles follow the rules of the pack. This blog is family-friendly, just like the American Beagle! Bringing a doggie treat when you visit is always appreciated. Beagles are fabulous chow-hounds! Arrrooooo! ;)
