I’m a little shocked and a lot angry right now. A collector friend just informed me that eBay seller betlasvegas has blatantly stolen a signed and copyrighted image of mine for use in their auctions! What kind of gall ( brazen boldness coupled with impudent assurance and insolence) is that? This person is not new to eBay and knows exactly what he is doing

My son’s 5th birthday is coming up, so I have been browsing our selection at Hazelnut Kids to decide what to give him. One item that caught my eye was the “ King of Numbers ” game by Haba. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help me with Ryan’s gift because we already bought it for his older brother when he was 5, but since we like the game so much I thought I should spread the word.

cos I missed you!!! But I have had the most fantastic 6 weeks……….ever!!!! First of all I was in the UK for Easter so I got to see the new Wallace and Gromit special on the telly……yippppeee (which was a completley happenstance incident as I had no idea at the time) and then I saw lots of awesomeness in the shops How cool is the toast rack? I mean it’s just a shame it was all so fragile looking. Although I did manage to procure some less breakable goodies……yaaaaaaaay. and then my 2 weeks in Spain flew by in a whirl of beautiful sunshine, great food (god how I love anchovies in vinagre) and fun day trips with the folks. above is one of the Mijas taxis a little burro than you can ride around town, I did this when I was a kid but I’d feel a little sorry for the donkey that had to cart me around now….

Dora the Explorer has been the favorite Nick Jr. show among preschoolers for the last several years, but a new show is set to take the top spot. Yo Gabba Gabba is a half hour show hosted by “DJ Lance Rock ” and the story lines surround the interaction between the “Gabba Friends” : Muno (a red cyclops), Foofa (round and pink with a flower on her head ), Brobee (a little green monster), Toodee (a blue cat-dragon) and Plex (a yellow robot). The episodes have musical segments (with bands that mom and dad probably like!) and animated stories. There is lots of dancing and lessons about how to be a good friend, being polite, sharing, etc. The characters are lovable and cute and kids LOVE them . YouTube – Watch

Coastal Living magazine’s May 2009 issue featured the Haba Wooden Magnifying Glass and Tin from Hazelnut Kids in their “Tide Pool Party” article. They wrote “ Magnifying glass : Some tide pool critters are no bigger than a grain of rice. Make sure you can see all of them.” We are honored to have been mentioned in such a beautiful magazine. The magnifying glasses are fabulous, but they were discontinued by Haba (insert our weeping sounds here), so get them while you can (quantities are limited!). Sheri Novak, Owner – HazelnutKids.com

In February I wrote a post on my Linda’s Blog entitled “Why Not Be Adventuresome!” which was about my buying a batch of 10 small goddess art forms from Monica Magness of “Girl Gone Thread Wild” blog that she had for sale on her GirlGoneThreadWild Etsy shop . I wanted to try something different this year and have been wanting to make some mixed media “goddess dolls” as I haven’t made any as of yet.

We had such a fabulous time at our Plan Toys – Hazelnut Kids Earth Day event on April 22. It was great seeing so many of our customers and giving everyone who came by a free recycled cardboard Eco Home 3D Puzzle. Several of our customers have written to thank us for the homes, so we thought we’d share a few of their pictures and kind words: “Thanks again for the adorable eco houses! Jackson and Ivy (and I) were entertained for hours, and it led to some great conversations about alternative energy. WE LOVE HK!” “Thanks for a fun and cool project. My daughter and I really enjoyed putting together this cute house. She loves it!” Another customer wrote: “I wanted to tell you thanks so much for the Earth Day goodies last week! We put the houses together as a family and had some great conversation about wind spires and solar panels and being kind to our living breathing earth! The boys loved it!” Thank you to Plan Toys for the wonderful Eco homes and to all of our customers for supporting the Earth through your purchases of natural toys.
