lights, camera, action!

we're in the midst of unveiling some new changes around here at molly mutt. many of you have caught a glimpse of our brand-spanking-new store displays, and in addition to that we're refreshing our packaging - don't worry though. it's still the same molly mutt products you've come to know and love!

the refresh of our packaging called for a new york fashion week style photo shoot. so maybe we're exaggerating, but what's more exciting then inviting adorable furry friends into the molly mutt headquarters for a few hours of photo snapping? check out these 'behind the scenes' photos and make sure to look for our new doggie models on our packaging soon!

thank you kira from nuena photography for the amazing finished photos!

cats in the wild...(molly meow outtakes)

i love some of these so much, i can't really even talk about it! *thank you so much sarah beth photography for taking these!!

it's no secret...

that we LOVE fan photos. pictures of YOUR dogs on a molly mutt beds is maybe my #1 favorite part of this business. for serious.

when this picture came in today, i wanted to wrap my arms around it & hug it. (thank you so much karen for the great picture & fabulous post!!)

phuntastic photography

these pictures made me smile this week (yep, more dogs...design-y people, i will get to more of that soon!)

superior buddha's jump soup

had a GREAT trip. what i was able to get done in 6 days, it would have taken 5+ weeks to do via fedex back & forth. hangzhou is called "the most romantic city in china." & it really is...well, could be, if i wasn't working & locked in my hotel room or the factory.

one of my favorite things about china is the chinglish. the literal translation of a very poetic language. i can't get enough. for instance, what sounds better than superior buddha's jump soup with a side of mullet?
& then there's the other random awesomeness...like this make-shift stroller.can't wait to show you the new pattern & new items being made for molly mutt...really, REALLY exciting stuff!!

ps, i learned how to write 3 characters in mandarin. i'm well on my way to being able to read...just 2997 left. at this rate i will be entirely fluent by 3017. yessssss. (rest of the flickr set.)

diana f+++

for xmas this year, i got a diana f+ camera. it's pure plastic loveliness, needs real film & weighs about 2 ounces. it's fantastic. ps, reader please note, i am an amateur at best with all of the various cameras i have. it's just for fun. makes me happy.

finally picked up my first 2 rolls of film. having to wait to see what your pictures look like is such a novelty these days...(or having to wait for anything-i made the point recently when-for the 8th time in a conversation someone googled for an answer-that there are no more mysteries. no lingering questions. more on this @ a later, more emo date.)

most of the pictures were grey & blurry. my two favorites are below.
