*CLOSED* Review and Giveaway: Sweet Keeps – Handmade Dog Collars, Leashes and Collar Flowers!
Posted in Doggies, Past Giveaways, Reviews on 11. Jun, 2012
I tell ya – I wish I had more sewing talent. I’ve thought about making collars and leashes but until I get better at sewing, I will have to rely on the experts to make them! Candy from Sweet Keeps is one such expert! She emailed and told me she started making collars and leashes and wondered if I would like to host a giveaway. In addition, she wanted to send a set to Kiko.
After surfing around Candy’s Etsy Store, I found the perfect Collar, Leash and Flower accessory for Kiko. I had a hard time choosing! There were so many I liked. However, the Pink Sparkle Argyle seemed to be right up Kiko’s alley and with an added Collar Flower accessory – she was about to look like a million bucks!
TALENT! Candy sure does have it. When Kiko’s set arrived I was very impressed with the quality! I looked over the products and could not tell that they were handmade! She is absolutely gifted!
Since it is difficult to see the sparkle in the design, I took a close up picture to show you.
Very affordable, the Adjustable Dog Collars starts at $15 and matching 5ft Dog Leash or 6ft Dog Leash starts at $18. Candy also offers upgrades. For instance, you can upgrade to a Bar Buckle Dog Collar (see example in photo below) and she also offers upgrades for Martingale Dog Collars (i.e. for Greyhounds – see example in photo below) because the width of their heads are smaller than their neck. It is awesome to see Candy offering a range of styles to be sure your pet receives the appropriate collar.
The Adjustable Dog Collars come in three (3) sizes: Small (10″-13″), Medium (13″-19″), and Large (16″-25″).
There are several super cool designs to choose from!
Candy has made some Dog Collars and Dog Leashes for her favorite sports teams! If you would like a specific team, Candy will work on making one for you!
Dallas Cowboys With Pink Ribbon (Boooo!!! :giggles: I’m just messing with you, Candy!)
Kiko looks absolutely adorable in her new Collar and Leash set by Sweet Keeps. We want to thank Candy for being oh so generous and sending Kiko a set of her very own to prance around in and show off! She has definitely inspired me to keep sewing, so I can start making collars and leashes!

We give Sweet Keeps 4 paws up! These handmade Dog Collars, Dog Leashes and Flower Collar Accessories are stunning, charming and super cute! They will make your pooch the talk of the dog park! Everyone is going to want to know where you got them! While I would normally say, “Shhhhhh! Don’t tell! It will be our little secret!”, I think Candy would appreciate the extra business, since she is putting herself through nursing school :GO CANDY!:

FYI – Your twitter link for ‘Sweet Keeps’ did not work for me, so I manually found them. However, they are under the name ‘Sweet Keeps’, not ‘Sweet Treats’

Beautiful stuff! I can see why you had a hard time choosing just one design for your doggie! I loved them all, but the houndstooth with pink is my favorite!
