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

Welcoming August

Overall, this summer has been a pretty good one for me. Here's a few reasons why:

1)Iced Coffee {except when the ice melts 10 minutes after its purchase... which is highly annoying}

2)Dragonflies {they have appeared in mass throughout the east coast this summer... they're pretty, add class to NY city gardens, and provide a tasty treat for my larger relatives}

3)Summer Nights {the days have been unbearable so every night is a welcome thrill. night's my active time anyway THANK GOD!}

4)Recession Specials {deals are everywhere. pounce on them people and boost the economy!}

5)Pop Music {after years of listening to nothing but rock music oozing with heavy hidden meanings, my tiny ipod shuffle has been uploaded with nothing but fabulous, vibing, mindless pop... and i'm loving it! Intellectual cynics come give it a try!}

Go out there an enjoy the last month we have! Love and Low Fat Yogurt, LL

'Bat Bangles' - My Hit of the Summer

A couple of years ago, I tried selling some silly and sassy bracelets at some street fairs and the like. Unfortunately they never sold, so I resurrected them this summer two years later at Strawberry & Co. during my sample sale in June. I was pleasantly surprised that they sold out. At $5 a pop, these awesome 'bat bangles' feature beads from all over the NY bead district, as well as foreign baubles from my travels in the states and overseas. You can't beat the value and I've noticed ladies young and old have whipped them on upon purchase gleefully. Of course, they're a little large and unshapely for my wings, but I'll happily advertise them for all you humans to enjoy. A new shipment just arrived this week at Strawberry and Co. and they'll be in stock for the rest of the summer. Guilt free, one of a kind gift for any age... the 'Bat Bangle'. Love & Licorice Sticks, LL

My Etsy is Going Electronic!

Yes, you probably recognize this image from my last post. It's a pop art representation of one of my favorite owls. And now, you can buy the PDF file in my etsy store for a one time fee of $7. Imagine, downloading one image that can be printed indefinitely for friends {and for you} as framed prints, t-shirts, tote bags, and more. By the end of the summer, my etsy store will carry electronic lady lucas merchandise only. PDF files of stationery, coloring books, card template, and prints will all be available for under $10. Check it out now in my store and please give me your feedback!!! A bat can only figure out so much on her own... especially considering my limited eyesight. Love & Leek Soup, LL
