Our friends K&M are Retriever aficionados, and they appear to especially like Labrador Retrievers (“Labs”). They’ve had various “labs” as part of their family for years (Yellow, Chocolate, etc.) and now they’ve recent adopted a new Black Labrador Retriever puppy named “Murphy”.
While I was on the Oregon Coast (someday I will finish up my series of posts about that trip in July) I found this awesome fabric which was a tribute to Retrievers including Labradors, Goldens, Flat Coated Retrievers, etc., and I made them a drawstring project bag filled with treats for Murphy as a “Puppy Warming” gift.

Here is the front and back of the drawstring bag so you can see more of the fabric and all the different type of Retrievers included:
Here are photos my friend K sent me when they received the surprise Puppy Warming gift in the mail from me, including photos of the adorable pup Murphy!
I can’t wait to meet that cutie in person someday!





This is such an uplifting post. I love that puppy, his shiny coat, those, puppy-dog-eyes, and your stunning bag and gift. I bet you lit up when you saw that fabric on your travels, Tierney.

Aha! A dog-loving friend just asked me to make her a bag, so seeing your fabric was helpful! I’m sure she’ll enjoy the bag.

that’s one lucky puppy ^^ Our dog, Tali, has so many toys that she leaves strewn about the house. She also has a toy box (and old 3 litre paint tin) we keep her toys in. So we tidy her toys away, and then she pulls them all out!

My friends say with a new pup they need as many toys as possible so she does not chew on other things about the house. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Your bag is just adorable! What a great gift 🙂 And you picked out some fun treats for the new little one as well. Murphy is such a little cutie! Not as cute as Mike, of course, but pretty cute all the same 🙂

Tierney, you know how to give the perfect gift. Murphy is just too cute and seems pleased as punch with his new toy. And, that bag is a Lab lover’s delight. You might need to start a canine themed line of bags for your Etsy store.
