...welcome aboard to The Petersen Family & Wee Forest Folk

a sweet welcome to Wee Forest Folk...

After admiring their charming -- and oh so tiny work --  for many, many years,

 I am just tickled to announce that Earth Angels Studios is now presenting the mice miniatures of The Petersen Family...

 The company was begun in 1972 by founder, Annette Petersen, and is continued today with the support and talents of her children, Donna & Willy.

I cannot wait to meet them all when I visit their "mouse factory" to photo it for my column in Where Women Create magazine...we'll be meeting and chatting about the business of their studio and how they have maintained their artful business and incredible style for more than four decades...

 

Each of their pieces is a small joy...

 The attention to detail is just amazing to me...

...above all, their winter-time and Christmas sculpts just send me...

I have a small collection of various handmade and vintage mini Santa Claus pieces tucked among the pottery in a cabinet in my dining room... 

I have a few WFF that I have picked up along the way and I treasure them...

 Here's a peek at this season's goodies for Halloween & Harvest...

I know from chatting with her, Donna Petersen just loves Halloween!

 Here are some peeks at my current faves...

Stay tuned for more to read about The Petersens...

I will share a peek at their workspace soon!

In the meantime, visit their new pages on our site to browse them all... 

We will be participating in the Petersen's special 5/6 promo program for their art  and will always offer free shipping on these Wee Forest Folk pieces...

at long last...soooo nice to see some new creations from Pat!

It's been quite some time since we had new creations from Pat Murphy...

 So I am really happy to share these sweeties!


Pat is semi-retired and spending time in her garden and with her grand children....

She is still working -- and her work remains amazing and so incredible in the world of heirloom teds. AND it's still as hard as hens' teeth to get!

So we are proud to have some new offerings...and they are truly wonderful.

Here's a peek below and to see more, browse the her pages of the site
