Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals

WHAT'S $5 MILLION BETWEEN FRIENDS?

In 1819 Spain ceded Florida to the United States in exchange for the American renunciation of any claims on Texas that they might have from the Louisiana Purchase and $5 million.

 Please note, this is a re-enaction of the actual event. No gator or aardvark were harmed in this photo shoot.

THERE'S A NEW KING IN TOWN

And we don't mean LeBron James (because we don't recognize him as royalty). No, we've got a new King of the Jungle who just arrived at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals. (drum roll please...)  Presenting ... 

The Jellycat Cordy Lion! 

Doesn't he strike fear into your heart with just a glance? I know, but don't tell him that. He feels very fierce.

 

WE ' RE GOING TO BE FAMOUS!

I was so excited to find this picture at *visual* vamp's blog for her sneek peak at the movie Earthbound that is being filmed in New Orleans. Her blog post shows how they let her go behind the scenes and see the sets. Valorie Hart (the *visual* vamp) was kind enough to let us use one of  her pictures, which are amazing! See all that glorious color that I adore? But look!  In the container! Those are our Jellycat Cordy Roy's, ready to hit the set of the new movie. Do you think they might get top listing, right behind Kate Hudson & Whoopi Goldberg? Of course, here at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals, we consider them a breed apart and give them star billing! The Cordy Roy Gator can't wait to get back to that warm weather but I'm not sure whether the  Cordy Roy Cat can take the heat and humidity. You have no idea what it does to a girl's hair-do! And, if I'm not mistaken, that is the Cordy Roy Bunny trying desperately to get in the picture. Arm. Ear. He's not particular. Just get him up on the silver screen. Thank you Valorie for sharing your blog and beautiful pictures with us. We anticipate losing several hours reading your posts!

THE CLOCK WITHOUT A FACE

The Fragile Earth Stuffed Animal detectives are on the job! They've gotten their copy of the book The Clock Without  A Face by Scott Teplin, Mac Barnett, & Eli Horowitz and are eagerly trying to solve the mysteries. From the back of the book: This much is true ... twelve emerald studded numbers, each handmade & one of a a kind, have been buried in twelve holes strewn across the country. These treasures will belong to whoever finds them first. The clues to their locations lurk within these thirteen floors. So the little Cordys are studying the pictures trying to find clues. They've got their magnifying glass and their list. I think they found the unicycle! Will they be the ones to find the emerald numbers?

INTREPID EXPLORER

Our Cordy Aardvark is off on an expedition to find the giant rabbit statue. Wading through the tall grass, he sees his objective in the distance. Look! It's huge! Quick! get a picture. We're now best buds:) Be careful of the white fluffy bits - once you touch them, the black beasts come to get you. And you don't want that, trust me!
