Now that I've invited you to visit with me, I'll try to be more consistently present!
 
See you on the web ...
 
Created by Dan at Wee Folk Creations ...and with a little help from P-Nut, who, yes, is still very much alive!
 
Remember your favorite pet with a memorial stone. Just send Dan a colored picture, name, and dates and he will create something special for you in a concrete stone or plaque.

And, on a different note ... The Hippie
Dan's New Song
Hear his latest.  
It's called "The Hippies",  
with lyrics by Bruce Coghill and vocals
 by Dan and Bruce.
 
It's especially for anyone who remembered Woodstock in the 1960's. 
 
We think you'll enjoy it.  
You know...it's the 40th aniversary of Woodstock this year,
and that is our era!

A word from Maureen ...
 
Seems as if we have lots of irons in the fire these days.  As I write these words I have an image of a troop of Wee Folk, in their many-leafed hats, worn green leggings and tight-leather vests scurrying across the tables to keep all the irons hot and ready, making nary a noise as they do so, but leaving whiffs of burnt grass and secondary beans, tinkling laughter and nonsense syllables, in the air around me.  Makes me grin.  I can also imagine Renee and Jessi wiping their brows in relief that I'm not making THEM wear the aforementioned costumes as they do their important jobs of cleaning and organizing and keeping the Center in Jordan in working order!
 
As you can tell by this newsletter, we keep adding new products to things that we offer.  The two latest categories are Dan's Pet Stones and my Angel Folk.  They may seem disconnected and you may wonder how one newsletter can encompass all these different avenues, but there is a connection.  Both the master sculpture for the Angel Folk and the mold master for Dan's stepping stones were first sculpted in polymer clay.  That part of our business, the use of polymer clay, has stayed consistent for 30 years now, since 1979 when Dan first brought home FIMO from the miniature store and suggested that I use it.  Who could have predicted what a magic carpet ride that little block of clay would prove to be!
