Tea For Two Poodles

I am registered as www.teafortwopoodles.com, however besides raising my Tiny Toy  and TeaCup Poodles for sale, I also love to create Native American Arts n Crafts, each item unique unto themselves.  I started attending different Powwow's and purchasing various pieces.  I also would purchase jewelry and not quite like how the piece was created, I found myself redoing pieces so it would complement me and the way I felt about the item.  Also I would look at items and decided, I can do that, some of it is quite difficult but very pleasing when finished.  My husband came up with the "double dream catcher" and soon after I was seeing them at most all the Powwow's that I attended.  IF a person has an interest in this, please pursue and research the things that would give you pleasure to yourself and others. 

Native American Legend tells that all dreams aare caught in the Dream Catcher.  Bad dreams are caught and held by the web until destroyed by the first rays of the morning sun.  Good dreams find their way through the webbing where they slip through and enter the life of the dreamer through personal adornments.  Believe in its mystical powers and may you sleep more peasefully.

Dream Catchers are made of artificial sinew, various beads to include trade beads, assorted animal hides and feathers, different colors and even wood.

The Dream Catcher is one of the most beautiful traditions handed down by our American Indian ancestors & practiced yet today is that of the Dream Catcher.
