Oh boy, oh boy....I so wish I could be there....

Judy Watkins hosts an amazing show. So mark your calendar for 11/9 & 11/10 for this

I was lucky enough to attend in the Spring with fellow special guests Jo Packham, Ben Ashby, Lisa Leonard and Laurie Meseroll and we all LOVED it....
But this month I cannot fit it in...so please go for me and shop 'til you drop on the amazing vintage offerings...

Hello Monday...still love them....Maruca's back

Hello Monday. Hello pretty fall days...
 
I have been in business since 1994...I began dabbling on the side while I worked full time....buying and selling handmade dolls, bears, vintage goods...
Things changed when I have my first kiddo in 2000, I quite the job and after flailing around a bit, had settled on Earth Angels as my "calling".

When we moved to Warwick -- my hubby's home town -- things took off. 
I had more room, more air, and another baby.  
By 2002 I had a bunch of accounts with some really fab artists and designers....and things were rolling along.  

In a car ride last year with Michelle and Sue, I counted all the artists I had worked with and no longer do...it's a lot -- about 80 -- so when I have the opportunity to rekindle a relationship to work with a designer once again, 
I am thrilled.

So hello Maruca Designs....and welcome back...it's been 8 years since we've worked together and I am so glad we've come full circle.

Here's a peek at a photo shoot Shannon and Allie did on Friday...
I love these gals, their style, their Boulder-made bags...







So Hello Monday.

Hello I need to pack and leave Wednesday for 
 Atlanta and there's so much to do. YIKES!



Hello old friends and new.


Hello Fall Fashion....Fall Days...and Fall Color's.

Hello old things, new things and everything in between.

Hello new week, you are going to be a busy one! 
I am ready for you, 
kinda sorta...

Hello to all of you. And what are you up to this week???

xxoo Jen

perfect fall day

...it's the kind of crisp Fall day I want to cuddle up in the big arm chair at my gal pal Kathy's house...flip through a magazine, and drink tea and visit with her...

I love her family room. It has all the ingredients of handmade and vintage that I adore, and just enough whimsy to make it really her own.
I think I might grab one of her yummy soft blankets and really tuck in...
don't you love how she has them in the little metal doll bed...I do! 

As a matter of fact, I am thinking my cats would be in there in a New York minute if they saw this set up! 
(Cats are so smart, they never miss an opportunity to nap!)

But a nap is a pleasant fiction in my world! 
Just too much going in here to slow down...
But I need a break, so I am off to Kathy's once again for tea...
she always seems to be able to talk me through my big plans and provide the best of insights and suggestions....what are friends for after all...
We are hard at work here getting ready for the next event...we'll be heading to Atlanta next week for the annual Country Living Fair....

Stay tuned for more on that...and sure hope to see you in Atlanta soon! You can see the events page of the site for details....
