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!

Weekend Shiba Getaway: Saugerties

/

Ting found an awesome rental for the long weekend so that we could hang out in the country with the shibas. The drive was ~2 hours -- Emi was more than happy to spend a part of that sleeping in my arms. After a while, she moved back to spend time with her brofur, and he wrapped his arm around her and cuddled.

The cabin was pretty awesome. The enclosed yard gave Shio and Emi the space to stretch their legs.

After a short break, we took a short trip to the lighthouse. The light was beautiful around sunset.

The inus were pretty tired after a long day...

... But they were both ready to go the next day.

We went hiking at Kaaterskill Falls. It was nice to see snow given we did not have much in the city.

We all enjoyed ourselves very much...

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

In this household, we have much to celebrate today! Our second anniversary, our completed fur family and... an etsy storefront!

We're so excited to announce the grand opening of our Shiba themed etsy storefront, iluli Designs! Hand screen printed shirts, totes and baby onesies featuring original designs are available for those who are completely and unabashedly owned by our Shibas.

To show our love for our Shibas, during our opening week, 100% of the profits will be donated to NYC Shiba Rescue, the rescue that Emi is adopted from. That's right, 100% of all our money earned from now until February 20th will be donated! How's that for a show of love?

In addition, we are giving away a limited edition Baggu tote bag in Sky Blue to one lucky twitter follower. All you need to do is follow @_iluli on twitter and leave a comment on this post. A lucky winner will be picked at random on February 20th. 

 

At this time, in stock merchandise is limited but if you message me through etsy to request an out of stock size or item and purchase the reserved listing this week, the profits will still be donated to NYC Shiba Rescue!

Happy shopping!
