I Heart.... 4/30 - 5/6

Custom Dog Collar, "Pretty in Peacock" by ChloesCollars $24

Each week Team Serendipity spotlights one team member in our "I HEART...." series in the form of treasuries featuring their shop and linking their beautiful items using social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and StumpleUpon. This week it's Leslie from ChloesCollars. Leslie is based in Indianapolis and she makes custom dog collars and leashes.  She is a huge animal lover and also loves crafts.  Her handmade, custom collars began when she was looking for unique and cute collars for her own pooches, Chloe and Izzy.  After looking at local pet stores and not finding anything, Leslie took her love of crafting and sewing and made her own collars that complimented the style and personality of her own two dogs.  You can see that her items are full of beautiful and stylish patterns, cool colors and all the functionality that you need to have in a great collar or leash.  She also has some great bow ties and cat collars.  Visit Chloes Collars on Facebook and on Twitter, and definitely browse on through to her shop and show her some love.

And here is a recent beautiful treasury curated by Leslie for Team Serendipity:
