Jane knows that hens make better doorstops than roosters. Roosters can be nasty. So she made a bunch, all different colors and sizes and put them up for adoption on her website Little House Home Arts. You probably know Jane from her pin cushions. She just gave one away in the Common Thread Give-a-way on the first of July.
Jane and I have showed our work together a lot, since I first invited her to be in one of The Pig Barn Gallery’s Exhibits. And now she’s going be showing and selling her work at the Bedlam Farm Open House on Sunday, July 21st. It won’t be the usual hoards of pincushions and wallets, but we’ll have a nice selection on display in my School House Studio. (everything’s smaller this time around) And along with Jane’s pincushions, I’m glad to have some of her Hen doorstops for adoption also. Each one is named and has papers that tell her story and I have a feeling they’ll be very comfortable hanging out in my studio for the day (especially since Frieda will be in the house)
So come to the Bedlam Farm Open House, (click here for more details) it’s just a couple of weeks away, and adopt a hen to hold that door open, the one that always wants to swing shut even when the wind isn’t blowing. And if you can’t make it to Bedlam Farm, you can meet Jane’s hens and hear their stories here.
They are so cute! Just up for adoption? Can you actually buy one? I’ll check her website.
Yes Ruth, you can buy them. And you’ll get their papers too.
I love that rear view! They’re adorable, and the construction looks pretty ingenious, as well. Again, wishing I lived closer.
I thought so too Karen, Jane writes about how they are put together on her blog.
I hope Jane will show her wares again at the Sept. 1st gala! 🙂 Cindy
I think she will Cindy. Are you coming then?
Just getting home from a business trip to the MA office and saw a post about adopting hens. These are absolutely priceless!! It made the end of a long day a smiling one!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God willing !!!!!!!!!!
What a blast. We are going to have so much fun. You do know Tess Wynn is coming then too. I guess so Kareoke and all…
It’s such a special day. I hope you won’t be too busy to perform…
Oh, as a matter of fact Cindy I think I will probably be too busy. We’ll have to leave the entertainment to you and Tess (and Ron and his guitar)
Yoiks!
