Araina was all smiles yesterday too.

Fauna was happy to see the hedgehog below in her gifts, she has been begging for her since the day I made her!

I made her a chocolate cake with chocolate icing; with raspberry jam between the layers and raspberries sprinkled on top. The raspberry mixed with all that chocolate is so yummy!!!!! Now to get over the fact that next year she will be 10!

“That’s all.”

Petunia, the star-nosed mole. She has a winky eye and a dirty rump!

Lavender Lady, the hedgehog is of course a lover of lavender.

Take a visit here to see more.

“That’s all.”

Here are some pics of the booth, I got lucky with a corner booth today. That’s Robin in the sunglasses sitting behind the tables; her and Araina were my helpers today. That’s a sweet potato vine hanging across the top of the tent, it’s made from a thrifted green wool blanket. I want to add some plush potatoes to it, but haven’t gotten to those yet.

Some critters you’ve seen before, some you haven’t. Fauna even made some plush to sell to the four legged fuzzy variety of customers- dog bones (squeakers included), they are in the shallow wooden bowl in the pic below.

My newest plush designs are rats (mice); this is the large rat

and the mini rats.

I also made some mini hedgehogs for the Summer Flea. I’m planning to add to the Etsy shop daily this week- in case you’re interested.

Araina kept herself busy by making pet rocks,

then secretly spreading them throughout the booth (people loved them).

Robin is my very dedicated helper; I bought her this vintage Marilyn t-shirt for all her help and support.

She deserves it for what we put her through today, especially for toting the little “princess” around!

Overall, today was a great success! Some 5 Orange  Potatoes followers even showed up to say hello and buy some winky-eyed critters; I couldn’t believe it and I was so touched! Off to bed now, hopefully there aren’t too many typos, but I’m too tired to edit right now.

“That’s all.”

Last week I made 10 of these large owl pillows from my vintage sheet collection. My sister Robin was gifted the green one below for her couch; she really deserves it for the help she has been to me in starting up my new business!

I found this fantastic bright green vintage suitcase to hold some of the owl pillows for my “pop-up shop.”

New seahorses and star-nosed moles; I’ve been told recently that I need to make daddy seahorses with pockets holding babies, indeed that would be cute !

I made this colorful hedgie with big eyes, turns out that he likes to party!

In the next week or so I hope to update my Etsy shop but I have one more indie fair in Columbus (Summer FLEA) to do next weekend, which I will be lugging all my stock to.

“That’s all.”

Marie Antoinette Seahorse (with winky-eye of course)

and winky-eyed hootenannies!

I was so glad the hydrangea tree was in full bloom for Friday’s Flowers (Fimby) today; I mixed the blossoms up a bit with a few stems of lemon balm. I love the light summery scent of this bouquet.

Have a lovely weekend.

“That’s all.”
