What a merry occasion it was—our very first Holiday pop-up! For three awesome weekends at the Montclair Flea Holiday Market, nestled within the reimagined Lackawanna Station, we set up our booth, showcasing a whimsical and elegant rotation of curated greeting cards, art prints, and new collections from DearDaughtersDesign.com. The experience was full of in-person conversations and connections, as we met the vibrant community and fellow artisans.

We were excited to launch our Puppy Smiles collection featuring 24 ink hand-drawn dog portraits on mugs, totes, bandanas, socks, and postcards. The collection debuted at our pop-up and now available online.
Along with Puppy Smiles, we introduced Custom Pet Portraits, the perfect holiday gift for family and friends. We had so much fun creating pet portraits and going through everyone's puppy photos. With every pet portrait, we include a core collection of fan merch for your puppy that can be purchased separately as this design service was often requested with our affordable puppy portraits.
We are so happy to have met the great community of Montclair and hope to be back soon. And we are so thrilled so many dog lovers stopped by to say hello. We are local enough where the kind and bustling community feels as warm as our own hometown, just a couple of zip codes away. We look forward to coming back soon!
The feedback we received was nothing short of amazing—overflowing with support for our canine companions, and several requests for feline features! This market was enriching and we can't wait to meet more of you in person as we craft a curated lineup of events for 2025. Keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram @deardaughtersdesign and join our email list for exciting updates!
Thank you for all the love and support this past holiday season! Our passion thrives because of your unwavering encouragement and support!
