Holiday Hound Fantasies
European Style
by Lotje and Friends
to Benefit the Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation!!!
Unique Items Being Offered
Listed below you will see photos of UNIQUE holiday items and gifts. All of them are beautiful and the overwhelming majority of them were created by an Italian Greyhound’s best friend in The Netherlands, Lotje Van Hengel. Over the past several months Lotje was inspired by the “The Xmas Season Ghost” and also by wonderful people like YOU who love Italian Greyhounds and care about the little guys in rescue. She decided that she would provide you with everything a true dog lover might like to decorate with over the holiday season….HOUND STYLE!!!!
​We've entered the second phase of the Holiday Hound Fantasies where all items that are still available have been marked with a set price. The people who purchased “fantasies” are being given given the opportunity to purchase any of the remaining items at our set price on a first come, first served basis. Postage will not be included…so the next 21 people will have the chance to purchase an item of their choice and the cost of shipping will be based on the US Postal Service exact cost of shipping the item to their own unique geographic location AND AN INVOICE WILL BE SENT TO YOU. (Rescue will make no profit on shipping!). Also…no one will be obligated to purchase anything if the shipping costs are too much.
We hope that you have as much fun participating in this fantasy as Lotje did creating it!!!!
P.S. Also…IGRF wants you to know that Lotje is DONATING everything shown above to the Italian Greyhound Rescue Foundation. She even paid for all international shipping costs!!! 100% of your fantasy purchases will go to directly help a dog!!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR PARTICIPATING!!! HAVE FUN!!!!!

17 NEW SOFT Fleece Warm Inifinity Shawl with Holiday IGs 14” W x 73” Circumference (JM) $30
If there is one thing Lotje knows (besides dogs), it’s fashion. She spends a lot of time in Paris and we all know that Paris is the fashion hub of the world. This is a fleece circular shawl that is meant to be worn around the neck. During the winter months…this shawl is not only fashionable but WARM. On one side is a fleece fabric soft as mink fabric that displays a holiday design of 2IGs within an ornament. (This is the same IG design in fleece that is on the IG blue denim fabric). On the inside is a lovely fleece bone design that contrasts beautifully with the IG fabric and does not cause the shawl to appear busy. I tried this on and love it! Measurements are: 14” wide by a 73” circumference. 3 cheers for Lotje! $30
