nice to see Jody and her FUNTOWN in the NEWS!!!

 Jody Battaglia has been in my heart for many years...
and her creations fill my cupboards with their charm...I adore them...
such wonderful little characters that spring to life in cotton and felt 
-- straight from her incredible imagination....


Here's Jody (above on the right with Nancy Wiley) at the Tennessee 
Country Living Fair this past April. She made the event so much more fun and it was a treat to have her there to promote her work 
(see images of new arrivals below of HERE)
and her new book..."Adventures in FunTown"

Jody has an inimitable style and truly festive spirit.  
I am completely thrilled that she has been honored with a story on her work in "Treasures" magazine...Way to go Jody!!!



...it's great to see press on Jody AND her new book...
Did you get your signed copy yet??? We have some ready to ship
click here to see it...



I just love how Jody has created an entire world for her little characters...

Here are some faves among the latest arrivals...






Thanks to Jody for being so wonderful to work with and for honoring me with
the opportunity to sell her creations...

..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...

Hello Monday...

I can hardly breathe here.
 Drowning in chores and to dos...but you know what???

It's all great stuff...
so I pause for a minute. Catch my breath and keep chugging.

Besides now I can go in the garden...ahhhh...
hello herbs and pansies already dug in...

Took my mom Rosie to the garden center with me...she was having a great day. Some days...are not so great with dementia...
but it was a fun trip, and I loved every minute of being with her. 

So hello to putting aside what you think has to be done 
to grab those moments...
 
...and hope it was a happy mother's day for all...

Helloooo Monday...I am off to Brimfield this week for some quick meet ups with antique dealer friends in from England and NATS friends Kathy and Lyn...

Hello new art posting to the site...love these busts from Nancy Wiley...


...and these toys from Jody...

Hello friend...it was great to spend a few hours with Laura Putnam of Finding Home...this is one special lady...here's a shot of her from last year at Rhinebeck...she brought be flowers, I love her forever!
She's up to some exciting new things with maple syrup....
hmmmm...more on that soon!


Hello assembling the work crew for this year's

Rhinebeck show...Luke, Sue, Harold, Allie, Charlotte AND SOPHIE (!!!!)

are on board...WHEW!!!


Hello summer...it's been in the 80s all week...
thought it might be spring for more than 2 weeks!
NY seems the land of extremes this year!


I am thrilled to be doing some pro bono entrepreneurial consulting with a really cool Family Circus from TN!  I also had a great chat with a food manufacturer, a jewelry designer and a talented woman in home decor...
this adds to my already full plate when I do this, but I love it...

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???

Hello fab new creations from talented friends...
 Hello to posting new lovelies on the site...
these artists keep me motivated and inspired!
 Hello to keeping the sunnyside up!
 Hello to Miss Tiny Bubbles...she is LOL cute to the max!
Thanks to Jody for sharing these amazing new creations with us...
they are all just posted to her pages on the site....

hello new week...and hello to all of you.

too busy here for words...someday I might catch up...someday...someday.

hello to a good book to read at night...I finally finished "Gone Girl"...
anyone have any suggestions??? 

Hello to new sneakers...the winter trashed the kids' and mine...gotta get to those stores...I think sneaker shopping is the worst! Nothing fits!

 Hello to BEET HUMMUS!!! Yep! The recipe is in the March issue of 
"Where Women Cook" in Shelly Kennedy's article that I shot

Hello to "The Office" on Netflix and anything on Netflix...me and the kids are re-watching it since I never seem to catch a show when everyone else does!?!

I am so excited about this....
my friend and Earth Angels' artist, Jody Battaglia has just announced the 
long-awaited release of her first book...


I am totally thrilled that Jody has been able to see this very personal project through to completion...
it has been many years and innumerable hours in work..

Her book features a charming cast of her hand-sewn toys...and we meet characters as wee Ginny (second from left) explores Fun Town and encounters its residents.  Jody has photographed her characters like this one upon backdrops she's also made...

I hope you'll consider joining Jody among the streets, shops and places of Fun Town...we'll be shipping her book free all month long....
just order with code JODYFUN at checkout. The book is 104 pages and $30, and yes, it's totally loaded with full color photos and it's on quality paper!
We will be shipping the book at the end of November, as soon as it arrives in from the printer!

You can also, take a peek at Jody's latest toys here...
She's created some of the characters from the book 
AND some wonderful new exclusives just for Earth Angels...
like Chloe Cupcake...


 ...and Silly Snoozil...

These and all her wonderful creations are also shipping free 
(domestic/standard shipping) 
with code SNOWFLAKE at checkout...(through 2/1/15)

Thanks Jody for including me in your journey to Fun Town!
You know I owe you a tremendous debt of gratitude...
