Emily Lou Who

I’ve been spending a lot of time of designing/perfecting a variety of lovely warm whippet-wear over the last few weeks in preparation for the arrival of little Percy earlier this week! 🥰

I’ve had a few requests to make bits and pieces for other pups after putting these on my stories and am excited to get to work on some custom requests and keep working on designs (like the belted fleecy coat Percy is modelling in the photo).

I am currently on the lookout for some local whippets/long boi breeds at the moment to offer discounted custom clothing, so that I can keep working on the sizing (and get some doggy models for the finished pieces) so if you’re a sighthound owner near Portsmouth and are interested please do get in touch! 🧵🧥

There will also be more bits available for all breeds coming soon 🫶🏽

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported my little business this year - whether you made a purchase, shared a post or even just liked the odd picture, your support all makes a difference and really helps!

Some of you know that (for various medical reasons) I am unable to work in a traditional sense and so have had to create my own opportunities which are flexible around my conditions. I am extraordinarily fortunate that I have been able to make work for myself out of my two passions (I also coach weightlifting part time 🥰) but couldn’t do it without people’s support.

So for anyone seeing this, thank you so much for your support. You might not realise how much you are supporting just by taking a moment to read a post or like a photo but I appreciate you so much!

My Christmas Spirits got so much love just when the original sketches went up on my story, that I decided to make them into hand painted tree ornaments 🥹

I may be a little biased (especially as I LOVE Halloween/Christmas hybrids due to my Nightmare Before Christmas obsession which has never faltered) but they’re definitely one of my favourite bits this year 🤍

While I’m mainly focused on Christmas bits right now I have a bit of a sale on some ready-to-post stock, including my non specific/role neutral ‘Will you walk me down the aisle?’ cards, inclusive range of bridal party proposals, and thank you cards for your hard working photographers/videographers/hair/make up artists!

These can be purchased directly through me for my best deal - just £1.50 each or 4 for £5 (plus P&P if needed).

(🍃 All cards are made with 350gsm card from sustainably certified 100% recycled fibres 🍃)

These are also available to buy worldwide via Etsy for 10% off their current retail price.

Please message directly with any queries or wholesale enquiries 🤍

It’s been quite some time since I posted on this page - I don’t tend to be a very active social media presence and am so very grateful to those who continue to track me down on and support my small business during my silent periods 🫶🏼

Unfortunately, a certain online marketplace (👀) has gradually made changes over my time on there and I (as well as many other small business owners) have found myself running into a fair amount of issues with them taking more and more from us whilst making decisions that negatively impact us and our businesses for their own gain.

Whilst I will still be operating on this online marketplace for the time being, I would love to be able to work more directly via my own page where I am also able to share more and communicate more with you guys to keep my shop more creative (aka more like what I always wanted it to be!) 🤞🏽

There is no pressure to spend a penny, but if you are able to support this little transition by taking the time to have a look at what I have coming up and giving me the odd like/share or recommend me if you’ve bought bits before I would be so very grateful ❤️

A few recent reviews from some of my lovely customers 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

All of these are for wedding items, which makes the feedback even more special because of course when we are discussing their orders I end up asking to hear all about their plans and always want to make sure any part of their day I am responsible for (no matter how tiny) is absolutely perfect for them 🤍

Thank you to all these wonderful brides for trusting me with these little details for your big day 👰🏼

Passed a milestone with over 1000 of these sold this month 🥺💫🤍

I honestly don’t know how this has happened - I’m working nearly 24/7 at the moment to fulfil all the orders but I’m so beyond grateful to be this busy.

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏽

A few little close up snaps of one of my latest creations with some softer colours 🌸🌾🤍

I had the most amazing preserved eucalyptus delivered yesterday and I fell so in love with it I just needed to play with it immediately, and ended up putting together this wild looking dried wildflower wreath 💛🌿

Many hours later, this little commission is complete and in its new home! 🥰

A lovely customer asked if I could create a replica Monica Gellar’s pickle pot for her new kitchen (see last photo for the brief) 👩🏻‍🍳

I may have underestimated the task ever so slightly (hand painting precise details on ceramic is harder than it looks 😅) but we got there and I’m so happy she finally has her Monica pot for her new home!

Loved having such a different project to work on and looking forward to seeing what challenge comes my way next 🤍🙌🏽

These adorable little ‘Home Sweet Home’ plaques are handmade from reclaimed wood, cut to a house shape and sanded before going through several stages of painting for the aged rustic effect 🪵🤍

They are individually made to order with great care and attention. They each measure approx 6.5inches x 3.75 inches.

If you would like your own short quote/message instead of the current wording, feel free to give me a message for a custom order 🥰

These are available for £6 each, with free local collection or £3.50 postage.

(If you are intending to display your plaque in an outdoor space, a £2 upgrade is recommended as different paints will be used to make sure your plaque can stand up to the elements).

Please note, in the photo of it displayed it is leaning against a small block - these ones aren’t freestanding 🖤
