Memorial Day Soldier Bears
I am sorry to get this Memorial Day post out a little late! My Mom ended up back in the hospital this week with a MRSA infection in her hip.
The doctor originally thought it was in the bone, and that they would have to go in and cut the whole hip out and RE-replace it. That was a nightmare!
Thank goodness, after taking her in for surgery to clean it up and check things out in there, they found out it had not gotten into the bone! Thank you so much to all our friends who sent their thoughts, love, and prayers our way!
So she still needs to be on IV antibiotics for a few weeks, but this was much better news!!
Anyway, back to Memorial Day……Check out
this website that details all the etiquette surrounding flying an American flag.
My family has been studying our Founding Fathers and the early history of our amazing country, and a dear friend of mine sent me this link. This weekend, let’s all remember all the sacrifices that have been made to make and keep us a free nation, and try to remember to appreciate them and live in a way to honor that all year long!
Have a safe weekend, everyone!

WOW! This is an amazing alley cat! Aubergine carnival carved by Kelsey Murphy with a fire-breathing dragon clashing with a magic-wielding wizard. Out of this world!
(This cat sold immediately, but I wanted to share it with you before I sent it out.)
I will be attending a class Friday and Saturday. I will check my email if I can, but if you don’t hear back from me right away, that’s the reason.
Hope you have the best weekend ever!

OK, here is the first of several new Kelsey Murphy pieces I’ll be uploading in the next few days.
This one is carved on a sky blue iridized Fenton alley cat. (This cat is a second, as these were very rare, made for VIP night 2007.)
It is carved with a large iris and beautiful, intricate butterflies. The bottom is signed “Purrfect Iris Kelsey Made In Heaven”.
Watch for more cats and dolls coming soon!
Just opened 2 boxes of Kelsey Murphy carved Fenton cats, alley cats, and bridesmaid dolls! Watch for pictures this afternoon! GORGEOUS STUFF!
Mother's Day Bears
Being in the hospital with my own Mother, then taking care of her at home, Mother’s Day kind of snuck up on me this year!
I wanted to share our Fenton Mother’s Day bear set with you. There were only 100 of these made, exclusively for Collectors’ Showcase. The set includes a Mama and a Baby bear. The baby is holding a card that reads, “To Mom”. These are the perfect gift to show your Mom how much she means to you, and to remind her of your times together.
I hope you all have a wonderful week, and be sure to tell your Mothers how much you love them! I know mine means the world to me!
To celebrate Mom coming home and being on the mend, I’ve decided to have a Bonanza in my Bonanzle booth tomorrow, May 2nd, from 10am to 1pm PST.
And, as an added bonus for anyone reading this, I’ve decided to do 10% off any online orders tomorrow as well, as I have over 2400 items listed over at my website, and only 106 at Bonanzle. Just put “Blog” in the comments section of your order form to receive the discount.
Thanks everyone, and have the best weekend ever!!
After a very unsuccessful 36 hour stint at a rehab facility, we ended up back in the ER with Mom in the middle of the night Monday. (If you live in the area and would like to know where NOT to send your loved one, let me know) Two more nights in the hospital fixed her up, and we were released Wednesday afternoon. This time we brought her home. We can take much better care of her there than she was getting at the “care facility”.
Her hip is doing great, and she is progressing wonderfully since getting home!
Once again, thank you for all the support, cards, flowers, emails, and phone calls. And thanks for your patience if we’ve not gotten your order out in a timely fashion or haven’t replied to your emails. If you have still not heard from us about any questions or orders, please send me an email at jesseandjenni@aol.com, as I may have missed it last week.
Things should be getting back to normal soon now.
