(do my eyes look green in this photo? Hmmmph! They are most certainly gray and often quite blue!)

Lovely things that happened today: while searching for an adventure happened upon a monthly antique fair out in the boondocks. Perused said fair, got a flyer for a toy fair coming up soon. Later headed to a huge book sale, which was having a half price day. Came home with about 15 books for $9.75, all this after a tasty breakfast with my dear Ravi.

Not so lovely things: walk away with nothing from the antique fair, especially when I went back looking for the perfect deer figurine I saw and finding it GONE! I couldn’t believe I didn’t even ask how much it was the first time around. SIGH.

Last time I was in Phoenix I happened upon an amazing indie toy store called Red Hot Robot. I spoke to the owner a little and took his business card so I could send him a few images of my work and see if he was keen. And yay, he was! He was up in Tucson this weekend so I was able to hand deliver the items for his store. Hopefully they sell and I can send more. If you’re in the area you have to check his store out, so many amazing things. He also features local artists, and has shows and openings in his store. :)

Here are the plush I sent him:
