What's been going on

Some-bunny was good to me this year!

A very "Sweet" friend gave me this cool retro Easter Basket, filled with fun goodies she knew I would love!Prize of Place goes to the Wendy Addison bunny that was on the top of the basketBut my runner up "fave" was this giant candy stick from Hammond's Candies

Hammond's makes the best lollipops and Candy sticks - the colors are amazing and their lollies are chunky with an old fashioned flair. HELLO!! - how cute are these - candy sipping sticks, to be used as straws in iced tea (or soda)
And cocktail sipping/stirring sticks for the more sophisticated crowd. Just look at these cute pumpkin lollipops, they also make a red apple and green apple - just as adorable!

Click HERE to visit Hammond's Candies online, such a fun site and I highly recommend the lollipop page for a real visual FEAST! ....Oh, and Hammond's, if you are reading this.... I totally volunteer for the taste-testing/product development job!

So, what's been going on work wise? I have been working flat out (well as much as one can with two small monkeys loose in the house!) on my goodies for the National Halloween Convention.

SpookyTime Jingles will be revealing an awesome Halloween tree

(it will be up for raffle....how cool is THAT!)(detail of a tree skirt in the works)

At the Convention there will be a bevy of boo-ti-full Halloween Art for sale from the Artists of STJ!

I am also working on my goodies for Halloween and Vine .... well, I am actually just sketching and planning at this point, and trying to figure out how to get it all done.

Here are my WIPs for the national Halloween Convention.

Stop by the Spookytime Jingles blog or website frequently for updates and new info about the Convention and other up-coming events. Oh - and stop back here in a couple of weeks to see my finished results.

National Halloween Convention

HERE WE COME!

in case you weren't aware - the gang over at

SpookytimeJingles.com is filling a booth at the upcoming National Halloween Convention.

Here are just a few of the goodies that I have sent in. A wonderful vintage style Wooden Candy Bowl - the word "TREATS" is painted on the back side. The bowl is shown here with some strings of candy garland.

If you are going to be ANYWHERE in the vicinity - I highly recommend attending

Royalty in the House!

Look at THIS Beauty!

I snagged this FIRST in series of Original Paper Doll by Christopher Klingler (CK). She is simply divine in person - the detailing is amazing, and the antiqued finish is perfection! - now to find the perfect frame...

I won "Marie" on Ebay, after several days of "nail biting". I want to remind everyone that Ebay and Etsy are two of the best places to buy gifts and goodies right now. In this economy we should all try to support our artists, and when you buy from an artist on Ebay and Etsy most likely you are supporting a fellow American! - Really, there is no comparison between something that has been painstakingly hand-made and something that came from an assembly line in China.

Another piece of Royal News!

Dani from SpookyTime Jingles will be hosting a booth full of goodies at the National Halloween Convention! - To be Held in KING OF PRUSSIA, PA. This is a great opportunity for anyone who would like to see fabulous OOAK Halloween Folk Art in person! The booth will be PACKED with eerie eye candy from many of the SpookyTime Jingle Artists! If you can go - I recommend trying to get there on the first day of the convention!

Off with her HEAD!

I realize I have not announced the Candy of the Month, or last month's winner. I'm afraid that I have been swept up in "MARCH MADNESS" .... not the sporting kind mind you!

Getting ready for the Convention, finishing custom orders and life in general has consumed more of my time than expected! I still have a lot of unfinished business to take care of this month - so I will be announcing the winner of the Candy Button Contest tomorrow, but we will take a break from candy for March and Return in April with a "Dump your Easter Basket" candy contest! Truth be told, although we will be "taking a break from candy" - I have already sampled all of my Easter favorites AND cleaned out my secret candy stash (hidden in my studio)

- stress tends to do that you know!
