When we first started looking for custom ID tags for our puppy dog, I was somewhat dismayed at the selection we found at the local pet store. They offered metal tags in the shape of bones or pink plastic hearts. They just felt uninspiring. I realized that I wanted something more interesting and turned to etsy. Surely they would have some crafty dog lovers making cool dog tags… and etsy did not disappoint. There were a number of cute options but when we saw this one, I knew it was just what I was looking for. Simple yet beautiful with the not-quite-perfect perfectness of handmade items. A small copper disk with hand stamped name and silver four leaf clover. It has a nice patina and the copper looks great with River’s coat. The lucky clover is perfect and meaningful, both as a reinforcement of our Luck Photography brand and a reminder of how lucky we were to find River and for him to find us. Our phone numbers and a small heart are hand stamped on the back. The price was reasonable, just a few dollars more than the cookie cutter options offered by the chain pet store. It felt great to get a custom piece made by an artisan just for us and to support the small business / hand made goods made available through etsy.
