Sometimes all you need is love. Even though we have a couple weeks before Valentine's Day, give something special and meaningful to the loved ones in your life.

This year, our favorite Valentine's items Upstairs give back to the world.  Handmade river stone hearts from Haiti and the (Diptyque) RED special edition candle both help to support countries and communities in need.

50% of all January sales of Haitian river stone hearts will go to several non-profit's including Partners in Health, while Diptyque partnered with Project (RED) to help raise awareness and money for the Global Fund to invest in African AIDS programs that focus on women and children.

Valentine's Day is about love, shop early and give gifts that are from the heart.

Woof Wrap Up

It was a dog day afternoon at Pierre Lafond for our Woof casting call! We had an incredible turn out of 285 dogs. 

Big dogs, small dogs, shelter dogs, pure bred dogs and a token Chinese Crested all made it out to support a good cause. DAWG and Cold Noses were on site with adoptable dogs that had several inquiries.

We had customers write donation checks to DAWG and Cold Noses/The Little Dog House had wonderful grooming donations and there were several inquiries about adoptable dogs at both shelters!

While some couldn't stay for their number to be called, others battled the sun and 2-3 hour wait to see if their dog had a shot to be included.

Andrew Grant shot dogs for 8 hours in search of new talent for Woof and he found some great new faces.

Out of the 285 dogs, the number one dog name was Charlie. We got to meet 6 Charlie's!

Woof will be available for purchase in April 2010. Make sure you get a copy to see some familiar faces from our casting.

Open daily from 9am-8pm. Call us 805-565-1502 or email us!

Calling all doggies! Upstairs at Pierre Lafond will be hosting a casting for Woof, Andrew Grant's follow up to his hit coffee table book Rover $60.00. Bring your pooch down for a chance to be chosen as one of the dogs featured in Woof, out in April 2010.

All you have to do is bring your favorite four-legged friend Upstairs between 11am-3pm on January 8th, 2010. Andrew will take a quick snap shot of each dog. If your dog is chosen you get to take your pal to Andrew's studio to be professionally photographed for the book.

If you wish to see your dog in one of Andrew's books you can also donate $1500.00 for guaranteed inclusion. If you want your dog on one of the various covers it's $5,000. Please note Woof will feature a wide variety of dogs. Therefore, he may not be able to include your doggie if they have already selected a similar looking subject.

A portion of all the book sales for January 8th will go directly to DAWG who will be bringing dogs eligible for adoption. The Little Dog House will offer grooming at reduced rates and all proceeds will go directly to their facility.

Please contact Upstairs if you have any questions. 805-565-1502 or email.
