The Year of the BUN Coloring Book by Dea Lenihan-- COMING SOON!

The Chinese New Year is celebrated on January 22nd this year, and the Year of the Rabbit will begin.

In honor of this auspicious celebration, my next coloring book, The YEAR OF THE BUN, will be released on that very day.

Filled with bunnies, fairies, and of course, Buns, this book is special because it introduces the Buns best friends, the Mims. Tiny mushrooms of all shapes and sizes, the Mims are always there when the Buns need a friend, and a partner for some mischief.

THE YEAR OF THE BUN will be available where all amazing books are sold.

Here is the cover! 

Love and Hoppiness All Around!

Happy Easter! XO

Style from the Forest

Although I am over 50, I still have a penchant for certain styles. As an artist, muted colors, animals, and flowers still make my heart flutter when I see them incorporated into fashion. (And when I say animals I do NOT mean fur!)

I can't get away with the same things the twenty somethings can. Plus when you are young, people assume you are experimenting, learning, and are willing to put yourself a bit more out there when it comes to fashion.

But today I found shoes that I may not be able to resist.

These grey flats (already two checks in my BUY THEM box for color and heel height), with a very faint stitched and sleeping bunny, complete with ears on the instep, make me happy just looking at them. They are fairy tales for the feet!

To make us smile even harder, the same company, ModCloth, (click HERE for their website to buy) sells Tiffany blue flats (two checks), with a wide eyed cat on the front that is reminiscent of the Totoro cartoon. Who is the genius that designed these! Love them.

Okay, okay, maybe the Totoro skips are a bit too youthful for me, but the Furry Up, We're Dreaming bunny shoes might be just subtle enough for me to get away with.

And ya know what, if something makes you THAT happy, go for it--opinions be damned.

And for those of you that have not seen Totoro yet, please see the trailer above, then rent it for the kids. It is one of the most beautifully animated shows you will ever see. 

Enjoy!
