Sock Monkey Treasure from the Yard Sale!

My first antique sock monkey! Just got back from the World's Longest Yard Sale. It covers 5 states, but we covered Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. At the very last place we stopped, I saw an antique sock monkey stuffed down in a cardboard box. She's over 50 years old and her name is Pauline. I named her after the woman who owned her - it was a gift from her father to her mother.

Why Sock Monkey is oh so blue!

Sock Monkey is sad because Jeri is laid up for a month with a leg brace. She fell in her garden and fractured her knee (OUCH!).

Thanks and gratitude to friends and family for love and comfort - meals, running errands, groceries, outings for icecream. Not to worry, I am pasting from bed so papier mache will not be ignored!

What's new in Sock Monkey land?

2 New Monkey Cards on etsy!

Those silly monkeys are up to their tricks again as blank cards! One is a bathing beauty at the beach and the other is a handsome musician playing a piano. Check them out at http://www.veryjeri.etsy.com/

Grade school art 40 years later!

I had a great time tearing up magazines to make this sock monkey collage. I guess I have OGD - an obsessive gluing disorder. Take a look at the photos...
