I dunno about you, but when I am out and about shopping I just NEVER see cute stuffed animals anymore! At a recent trip to Toys R’ Us, all I saw were really gross pink leopard print bears and worse. Ughhh….. not cute. As a kid, I loved my stuffed friends and my daughter Rosemary, at 20 months, loves them too. She has a couple super special ones at home (Teddy & Monkey) who sleep with her every night and help her brush her teeth. Her plush family got a few new additions today and her arms were FULL at bedtime. 
So, when you want to give your kid (or yourself) an amazingly soft and loveable new friend – you KNOW where to come to find them. These lil guys look even better once they are loved up and scruffy too. 
Rosemary absolutely LOVES Jellycat plush. They all got kisses too.
Nice, fresh plush display... probably won't stay orderly for long! These guys are wild!
Assortment of super cute and soft bears and bunnies! <3
Monkeys big and small... lil donkeys... soft, colorful, floppy buddies and more bears!
This smile says it all... these guys will bring you or your kid JOY!
My goal is to have the 2012 card printed by the END of 2011, but hey priorities. There was just too much to do and too little time the past few months. But, now… now it is done! Thank you once again to the inimitable Aurian Redson for his charming illustrations.

Just before Christmas we got in a new and amazing art book featuring the work of Scott Campbell, known as Scott C. – if you aren’t familiar with his work, then you are missing out… its high time to become a fan! His work is clever and charming and singularly amusing.
The introduction to the book is fantastic as well, it was fun to learn about his journey from childhood potato drawings to where he is today. Don’t be lame and skip over the intro since it’s “a lot of words” – you will enjoy the book approximately 38% more once you read it!
Way back in 2007 Mr. C was a part of our “Cute Attack” show – his pieces were small watercolors featuring medieval knights at odds with cute creatures who seemed to overwhelm with their size and sweet lil faces! The outcome of the “Adorable Battles” is not on record, but we all know that cuteness always wins!!
After thoroughly enjoying this lovely book, I was thrilled and WAY surprised to see that we were mentioned in the acknowledgements! Such a kind, thoughtful gesture really speaks of the nature of Scott C. Even the little people (like us) who he worked with along the way were remembered. Makes me feel like hugging and eating pizza!
Thank you Scott C. and have a happy new year all!!

Please join us for the opening of our annual cash & carry Small Stuff show this coming Sunday, November 20th from 1-5pm! It is the 6th annual Small Stuff show if you can believe it and I truly think it has some of the best art for the best prices so far!

This is our favorite show of the year, with so many great pieces (over 150) for such great prices (as low as $15!)… you totally don’t want to miss the lovely brunchtime opening! It’s the Sunday before Thanksgiving, so you know you can make it! If you’re not able to trek over to us on Sunday, rest assured we will have the work available for online purchase lickety-split… that’s fast!

All the artwork is 8×10 or smaller and affordably priced for gift giving. Local, national and international artists with a wide range of styles & subject matter. We are starting out with over 150 pieces in total, there will be the perfect gift for someone here… maybe even YOU!

Small Stuff is the show opening that you will kick yourself for missing, because you will totally want dibs! So, round up your cool friends, bring your mom, expose your kids to art… it is going to be LOVELY!
A few excellent reasons you don’t want to miss the Small Stuff opening:
- Truly fantastic art for great prices, really great!
- It is cash and carry, so you get to take your new artwork home as soon as you buy it!
- If you don’t come to the opening, you will MISS OUT on some great art. Since it goes home right away you won’t even get to SEE the best stuff unless you come to the opening!
- Mimosas!!! …and doughnut treats!
- Start your holiday shopping right BEFORE Thanksgiving, that way you can feel like you’re ahead of the game. Art=awesome gifts.
Plus, the super added bonus is that you are supporting a family owned business and independent artists at the same time… like MAGIC! Holiday magic…

The first of some of the awesome new product we are getting in for holiday shoppers!
Much of the cuteness you behold is from Gund, a plush company that’s been around since 1898! They are ALL super soft and priced great… I never personally see cute plush around much for sale these days, and Rosemary loves her stuffed animal buddies!!
