Two Shibas 366 Project

Shibas are my source of inspiration for so many aspects of my life right now. Instead of going outside and talking about my dogs all day to whomever will listen, I've decided that it is far more productive and less annoying for me to channel that using another outlet. Thus the birth of my new project: Two Shibas 366. There are many of our Shiba friends on Twitter that have started their own photography 366 day photography projects in January, all of whom have their own themes. I loved how they were able to document their daily 2012 life through a photography timeline. I started mine on February 14, 2012. I decided to start ours on Valentine's Day to showcase our love for our dogs and the love they have for each other. Emi has only been part of our lives for 4 months now but through Shio's actions day in and day out it is very apparent that he adores her as much as we do.

I hope that you'll add it to your RSS feeds to experience the tenderness of their sibling relationship through the image that we capture each day.

Sorry for the great delay in posting up the results for our contest. We've had a very busy week with Josh out of town and Emi being sick. Alas, we made it! Now without further ado, let's get straight to the two most important parts of this post. The winner of our tote bag contest and the amount that we're donating to NYC Shiba Rescue! Our randomly chosen winner is Shelley, owned by Yuki the Shiba Inu aka "The Yukinator". They have a fantastic website for Yuki filled with adorable pictures so head over there and say, "Hi" to little Yuki! Congratulations guys! Hope that you love the bag and use it often!

Thanks to everyone for perusing our storefront and purchasing! It's so heartwarming to read your encouraging comments and great suggestions for what you'd like to see in the future for our shop, iluli Designs. It warms my heart to see that people enjoy the designs that I've put together to share with you all! As promised, 100% of our profits were pledged to be donated to NYC Shiba Rescue during our opening week and we raised $57.34 to donate to NYC Shiba Rescue. Not too shabby! Keep visiting the etsy storefront frequently as we will have more products and designs coming soon. Follow @_iluli on Twitter for all the latest news!

Here's a sneak peek at the new tote bags that we'll be printing on soon! They're American Apparel Bull Denim Woven Cotton Totes!
