As part of my Geaux Local series, I am pleased as punch to share another creative soul with all of my animal loving friends. Nadine has been a longtime blogging buddy from my days as a
chihuahua blogger. She has two sweet ones also, Chewy and Lilibell. I was so smitten with her jewelled collars, that I ordered some for Izzy. The quality of Nadine's work is exceptional, which I can attest to since Izzy owns four of her pieces. Since then Nadine has branched out, creating dog attire that rivals Versace. Nadine is also a dedicated voice for orphaned/neglected animals, giving a portion of the proceeds to rescue organizations. Please check out her Etsy site
here and her Facebook page
here. Below are the necklaces that were crafted by Nadine and modeled reluctantly by Izzy.

| I think this was the first necklace I ordered. It looks so elegant. |

| This was a "bonus" necklace that Nadine sent. The ladybug charm is perfect for Izzy and the red/black/white color scheme is so White Stripes (a band I will always love) |

| Our little Valentine |
Please note that Nadine of Lilibell's Couture did not solicit this post, nor was I compensated in any way. I am simply sharing my experiences of buying from independent designers/sellers. Sharing the love, that's all!

These are beautiful. It's always interesting to see the creativity of others. Nadine has created an accessory that any dog would be proud to wear.
My goodness, these are adorable, Gail!
so cute. i can't pick a favorite. i'm leaning toward the pearls ... so sweet!! i want a puppy. ( :
please stop by my blog for a great Christmas Giveaway. tell your friends. i love Christmas. have a great week!! big hugs.
Love these! I think the first picture is my favorite. She looks so refined.
So darn cute! great photos - all of them!
so sweet of you :) and Izzy looks so cute :) xxo
Awww Gail, I am tickled pink that you featured me!!! Am especially glad because I get to see pics of sweet Izzie, it's been too long since I've seen her and Sparky, I miss them!
I absolutely love that first picture of her, it's so old fashioned looking and I think it works very well with the angel charm.
Thank you Gail for your faith in me!!
Hugs, Nadine
your little model w/ her tongue out made me laugh.
That Hoo Shoo Too Road is superb – those golden trees at the edge of the water have wonderful colors and your photos show them well. The little dogs are cute as can be. Is the word “Geaux” a Cajun word? It looks French to me, but does not mean anything that I know of.
Well, these look lovely on Izzy, but I do have to admit I have never seen a necklace on a dog before. Thanks for showing off Izzy's jewels!! PS love that tongue!!
Izzy is adorable and the jeweled collars are so cute! I'm going to pop over and check her out right now.
How sweet - those little necklaces look great on the pups, Gail!
I cracked up at seeing Izzy in beautiful necklaces! As one who doesn't do dogs, I forget what today's special canines get from their loving owners. For some reason, I thought a narrow neckpiece might be more likely to catch on something....but I guess not??? Oh, Izzy! You are one adored dog, aren't you!
Awwwww. The pearls look so classy!
Oh my....how sweet! Love the beautiful collars! I think I could actually see a couple of poses there! What fun!!
shug
I love her necklace. Love to see your little sweet heart. Pet's put lots of warmth into living. Thanks for coming by....I have been so distracted by my day job. So good of you to come see me. xoxox M
Each necklace, that is. So cute.
You are such a sweet friend. I went to her Etsy shop and oh my gosh, those are truly some pieces of art! I can't see Belle or Max wearing any of these, but I'll mention Nadine to my friends with cute little house dogs that stay clean!
I assume that you are never short of photo-opportunities when you have a dog!
Did not see any thing suspicious on the menus to account for the lack of cats and dogs! One day I'll tell you my "dog on the wedding menu" story!
If the truth be told I had never herd of a Francolin either before I went to Oman - you live and learn!

Oh a true Diva in her beautiful jewelry. I love these shots they make me happy. B
These are just precious. I think I need to rush out and get a dog so I can get a couple of these!
Lovely.
I am having a poodle.
Izzy iz just beautiful bejeweled! You are so sweet to celebrate others.
She looks so pretty her necklaces. Your photos have me smiling this morning...
Hugs~
Gail! too funny! Q: doggie always tongues out for the snap? hahahaha. I had a chihuahua as a kid and I love seeing the familiar face in these photos.
oh and glad you spotted the flag. THANK YOU for your nice words.
(hug)
Well, this dog dresses much better than I, and the owner has excellent taste.
So adorable great photos (a creative harbor ^_^)
Izzy is a sweetie, and she has very good taste. I bet all of her friends are jealous. Love that first shot.
What lovely jewellery - but I can't see Oscar wearing anything like that.. ;-)
Beautiful! I don't have a baby but my neighbor does so will spread the links. BTW, I like it when bloggers share good stuff they've experienced. Those doggie necklaces are so pretty humans could wear 'em.
And, I finally found what I'd tucked away to share with you. Remember the argon post, i.e., skin stuff? Well, hub cured his problem with arnica. It was a fluke how we discovered this. Anyway, the arnica flower grows at high altitudes, is in the marigold family and, well, please google for more. Now, we'd been hauling salves back from Austria but on our trip to Vermont discovered the salves/creams are found in boutique type shops. Please check out Naturally Yours: www.vherbalgifts.com. And I saw an arnica cream at CVS the other day for about $4.99. There's a prescription cream, about $38.00, a pharmacist said is no better than OTC.
Anyway, hope all's going well on your end. Getting back into the groove here after a few bumps.
I love talented creative people :)
Izzy is a wonderful model, what a sweetie
You have got to be one of the sweetest! =) Fantabulous captures, esp the 1st w/ the texture, it's perfect! LOVE the permanent stuck out tongue!
Sweet images! Just beautiful!
Great photosGail! Wow what beautiful work! Does she design for humans too? Love the first photo!
So sweet.
