Inspiration
Women Wine & Dogs came out of a growing desire to play; to spend time creating art, gifts, and usable items that reflect joy and humor. What better to meld this philosophy than a good bottle of wine and the company of a dog!
As a Woman, I appreciate the myriad gifts we bring to life – our wisdom, humor, and strength. We are the traditional nurturers. And we are talented. I want to celebrate women in all our many facets.
Wine has such a rich history and, at least in my house, an honored place on the table. It is present for a quiet dinner, a raucous gathering of friends, or that solitary moment on the porch with Zeus by my side.
And Dogs. True incarnations of a loving spirit, however you define that term. Best friends, protectors, and keepers of secrets – dogs rule!
I will admit that there will be affiliate links on some things I talk about, but only if I think the product is of a high enough quality to be represented here.
I hope you will join me on this journey. Much of this is new to me! I invite you to share an email address with me. I promise you will not receive daily spam! About the only time you’ll see my email in your inbox is when there’s a sale! LOL.

Who is this woman putting together a website focused on women, wine, and dogs? I’m a sister, artist, writer, photographer, soap maker, friend, and sometimes lover (😊.) I spent too much time in offices, doing work that neither satisfied my creative right brain nor my wallet.
At this point in my life, I want more. Creating art feeds my soul. And keeps me sane. But I still need an income, so I searched for something to do it all. Designing mugs and laptop covers may not sound exciting, but I’m having fun with it. I am not an artist who thinks my art is too precious for a mouse pad. Art is to be shared and if you want my Dogwoods on your flip-flops, so be it!
And I want time; time to play with yarn, and resin, and soap, and wood, and concrete and, and, and! It is hard to have real flexibility when you work for someone else, be it a large corporation or a corner store.
I’m searching. This website is one of a couple of ventures into self-employment. I am a photograpaher and participant in a small shop in The Old Mill Marketplace Square in Tryon, NC. I share the space with my sister Autumn, and our friend Becky. You will see some of their work in the Artwork section of the site.
I welcome you on this journey. Explore with me!
