New Year News!

Dear friends and followers, LL here with an update. LadyLucas.Com is all decked out for the new year with a cute new homepage, and update press and about pages. Check it out here! I also hope to really expand the biz this year with an online store and even more goodies to pick from! I had a relaxing and happy holiday and I hope you did too;) I got to see something that totally blew my mind this week while visiting the fam in Pennsylvania. The Brandywine Museum in Pa offers something called 'Brandywine Critters' around the holidays that are adorable critters {just like myself}, made out of natural items such as dried pods and flowers. {Yes people, they even have bat critters for sale in their gift shop}. The creativity of these critters is amazing and not to be missed!! You can buy a book about them on Amazon or visit a link to the museum here. Just had to throw that in, since it was SO COOL!! Have a most wonderful, happy, and successful new year. Love & Lentil Soup, LL *Picture credit Brandywine Museum website.

Last Minute Holiday Gifts!

Dear All, If you're in Jersey City tomorrow you'll get a chance to visit moi at my stand. Just follow this link for all the details! Spectacular cards for $4, coloring books and activity books for the kiddies, and artwork all $20 and under {featured mini hedgehog print on the right only $10}!! Should be a great group of vendors with lots of cool items for sale. Even heard it could snow during the day which would make things extra christmas-y and great!! Continue having a spiffy holiday season. Love and Licorice Drops, LL

Gettin' Crafty with Old Cards!

The holiday season is here! Yippee!! I got to thinking of a few cool things you can do with those old cards in the attic.

• Buy some little 4X6 frames from the dollar store and stick some of your favorite photographic greetings in them as decoration in your kitchen or hallway this year.
• Cut old cards with pattern designs into squares and use them as gift tags for the presents you give.
• If you have access to a laminator at work... cut them into strips and make bookmarks as stocking stuffers {or circles for coasters}.
• Make a unique presentation by mounting the cards in a grid pattern within that annoying blank wall space in your home office or cubicle at work.

Have fun getting crafty!

I've Got a Website Now... Yea!!

Hi gals and guys! Thanks for all the support concerning my cousin Bat's book this month. The book signing was a success and there's been lots of interest in the story- I'm happy to report. In other news, I have finally published my very own website to the world wide web. Please visit it here whenever you get a chance: www.ladylucas.com. Finally, a place for all my characters to meet and be happy in one place! This new website is a great way to find out about all new Lady Lucas products, events, news and press. Drop me a line with any suggestions or comments. Love & Lobster Tails, LL

The Book is HERE!!!

Ok, so I'm just a little excited about my cousin Bat's book officially being self published online. Bat worked really hard on this project and I'm very proud of him! The book is kind of focused towards early elementary age, but personally I think it's cool enough for adults too. Who doesn't love Halloween, awesome party food, a little drama and pet spiders! Become a fan of Bat and his crew here. Buy the book here. You can read more about the book opening in Jersey City on BBP's fan page... and of course I'll be there too cheering my little cousin on. Have a wonderful fall everybody! Love & Little Pumpkin Pies, LL

Bat stars in his first book...

My dear cousin 'Bat' will be starring in his first book this fall called 'Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party'. The book will be self published under the Lady Lucas label and will be available for purchase beginning in October. Much more information on this to follow as I am deeply involved with the production of this project. Bat, a free spirited magician, will wow audiences with his cute face and silly schemes. His little friends Boo and Pumpkin aren't too bad either ;) You can follow the trio on facebook and watch for new BBP products in my zazzle and etsy store as well. Love and Lemon Tea, LL

Berries & Bucolic Views...

I got a chance to visit the countryside of Lancaster, PA this weekend and chat with my dear cousin 'Bat' who lives out in the country with all the cows, corn and Amish stuff.. {More on 'Bat' and his new book deal in my next post...} During my visit I experienced some stellar strawberries, farm baked pastries, and great veggies. I even got inspired by all the great folk out around. I was playing with the idea that the Lady Lucas brand should come up with some folk- primitive dolls this fall. The kind with the little stick legs, and oversized faces that look both cute and halloweenish at the same time. I will keep you all posted on that after I motivate Ashley to start a few this month. Now as we approach the end of summer I'm glad I got this chance to appreciate nature and the simpler life of the country. Sometimes we can all use a break from the sweat and very interesting smells of summer in the city ;) Love and Lancaster Whoopie Pies, LL
