Happy Abby Pegs at DIA!

I am so excited that the peg dolls are in an exhibit at the Denver International Airport! They were chosen, along with 29 other artisans, to be a part of a display demonstrating the culture of handmade in Colorado. The exhibit is up now through April- check it out and let me know what you think! A good friend of mine took these photos on his way out of town, thanks Alex!!

Firefly Handmade Gypsy Farm Market





You may have noticed that I have not been adding new items in my Etsy shop, or maybe you've asked for a custom order and I have had to turn you down! I'm so sorry about that, but I am busy crafting some new creations for the upcoming Firefly Gypsy Farm Market! I am so excited to be a vendor there this year. If you live in Colorado, come check it out! And don't forget to come by the Happy Abby table! I'll be making one of a kind dolls for this event, you won't want to miss them!

A Very Special Fairy Garden






I had to share this! This is a fairy garden that a customer made for the fairy peg dolls she purchased in my Etsy shop! What an amazing idea and how totally creative! Thank you for sharing, S!

If you would like to send photos of your peg dolls in action, please email them to abby.l.jacobs@gmail.com! I love to see how much fun people have with these little ones.

More fairies for S's fairy gardens!

Firefly Handmade Makerie Market

Last weekend the peg dolls made an appearance at the Firefly Handmade Makerie Market! It was such a great weekend and I met so many amazing, talented artisans!

Getting enough peg dolls ready for the market took SO much work! I have to give a shout out to my husband and kiddos, for allowing me to work constantly in preparation. It felt so good to have something to work on again, besides house work and "mom work." We all need to have our "thing" that gives us purpose outside of the roles we play in life! That "thing" is always changing for me, but as long as it is there, I'm a much happier mommy!

Here are a few photos of the table at the market.








Here is a photo of the cake topper that was on the Tee & Cakes cake display!! 


Now, I'm back to work on the plethora of wedding cake topper orders I have in my queue!
