hello Monday and HELLO FUNTOWN!

 ...hello Monday posts are something I have been doing for some time now linking up with my friend Lisa Leonard and her fab-u-lous blog...feel free to leave your BLOG link in a comment...

how about some hellos...

I don't think there's ever been a single thing that my talented friend Jody Battaglia has created that has not made me smile...

I love her sense of whimsy, her sharp mind, her quick wit...and the talent she has to bring those ideas from her mind to her hands in mohair and felt.

 I was thrilled she could attend the gallery event in Sanford, FL last month for the first time. She and her work were so well-received! I love to see people "get" what Jody does...

And to have her book there to promote...well it was magic!

(did you get your copy yet??? details here...)

She was able to create some of the characters from her book to share with our customers and her collectors who attended the show....

and a few other one of a kind cuties to share... 

I don't think I can pick a fave...can you???
