Purple Elephants and Iron Butterflies

 Howdy and Happy Wednesday!

Recently, I've discovered a slew of photos from our past shows/adventures that have not been posted, so I'll be skipping around a bit for the next few days...

When I arrived at Debra Reese's Purple Elephant Gallery/Iron Butterfly Studio for the first time, I let out a scream of delight!  The setting outside was so beautiful, and... there were even goats!  This truly magical place is located along the Street of Dreams in Cypress, Texas.

It's the perfect place to relax on a nice day...

We're really excited to have our own critter section in the whimsical boutique.  Here are Sigmond, Fleur and Chelsie hanging out on the wall:

General Rusty Bunny, Shirazz, Fuzz, Badtz Maru and the monsters are nearby:

During the Grand Re-Opening on 5 May 2012, our friend Tracy, artist coordinator and jewelry designer extraordinaire, let us share her awesome studio space.  We even had air conditioning- woohoo! 

She presented us with a portrait of one of the monsters that she had recently painted.  We were so honored- friends are the best!

 

We can't wait to go back!  Please stop by when you have a chance, and say hi to Debra, Tracy and the gang.

Spring Schedule

It's Monday- grrrr! My allergies are driving me CRAZY today, but nonetheless, I thought I'd give you an update of the critters' schedule for this year. Looks like we are going to be ingesting quite a bit of pollen outside over the next few months, but at least we'll have some yummy treats from H-town strEATs and Boheme Cafe among others. Most importantly, we hope to catch up with all of you! Our favorite part of all of these shows is when our friends and fans stop by- we are always very happy to see you!

Have a great week everyone! :)
