Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals

Jellycat Junglie Zebra, Animal Model!

I have several design blogs that I read because I like to pretend that some day, I might actually do something to make my house look nicer. One of these blogs is Holly Mathis Interiors where I drool over many of her pictures. On Friday, one of the photos she used from Cookie Magazine caught my eye.  

 

What is the first thing that jumps out at you? The really cute little boy? The awesomely cool pirate ship? For me, it's the Jellycat Junglie Zebra reclining on the bed! Maybe it's because he's one of my favorite animals in our inventory here at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals. Maybe it's because he chillin' and relaxin' on the bed, which is where I'd really like to be right now. Whatever the reason, the minute I saw the picture, my eye went right to him.

And because he's begging for a close up, and you know I can never say no to a zebra, here he is in all his glory!

AUGUST 12, 1898

The United States formally annexed Hawaii on August 12, 1898.  Some of our Jellycat Junglies decided to say Ho'omaika'i'Ana (congratulations!) 

 

Happy Birthday Beatrix Potter!

Guess what popular author was also a sheep breeder and farmer? She published 23 books between 1902 and 1932. A film about her life was released in 2006 starring Renee Zellweger.

 

If you guessed Beatrix Potter, you'd be right! Our Merryday Frog, Scrumpty Duck, and Bunglie Mouse, Bunny & Kitten wanted to pass on their birthday wishes.

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.

WELCOME TO THE FOLD, KYLOE!

What, you say, is a kyloe? I'm glad you asked. This is a kyloe ...

 

It's the Scottish word for Highland Cow! How cool is he?  This one is a Small Jellycat Truffle Highland Cow, one of the newest arrivals at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals, and he's just as fluffy and furry as he appears. While his relatives in Scotland may be a rugged breed, he's a lover just waiting for someone to take him home. 

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?

Zebras can climb?

Did you know zebras could climb? Here at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals, we gather a rare breed of animals that can do almost anything the imagination conceives. Our Junglie Zebra is not content to remain with four feet on the ground at all times. In his mind, he is scaling the Alps and who are we to bring him back to terra firma? I just hope his landing skills are equal to his climbing! I'm not convinced yet ... Oh, dear - I'd better dig out the landing gear!

ST. GEORGE ' S DAY

Wanted:  "Almost dragon" looking for one saint to come play for the day. Will take Georges, Patricks, Theresas, even Emmelines. Any and all may apply. Very Important: There will be NO SLAYING of said dragon! Make all inquiries at Fragile Earth Stuffed Animals. I know I'm not a real dragon, but I want to be one when I grow up so that totally counts, right?
