DRUM ROLL PALEEEZE......

Well it is official..........there is a new kid in town, and she has an eye for design, color and texture. And a soft spot for Animals.

   My 11 year old  Daughter Jazz will be at her debut of her own home decor line in Atlanta called

                                                                   "All that Jazz"

   She has be just itching to be a part of this business, and has decided that she can do something she

loves  FOR something she loves........and she LOVES animals.  ANY animal, Fur, Fin or Feathers, and you have a place to stay at our house. 

     Jazz will be in her own area at the Atlanta Showroom in Bld. 2 floor 10 for a personal showing of her varied line of stuffed animals, bags, totes, and whimsy!

This is Mittens Meow Stripey..........one of many strays that have walked into her heart. He is never less than 10 steps behind her.

She is hoping that stores will like her items, and that her sales are strong. 

She is using  her portion of the proceeds to fund animal rescue.

   A menagerie of plush ceramic animals with rhinetone collars and hanging crystal peace signs. Oh how chic !

In honour of Dinky our beloved Mini Donkey, THIS is Jazz' rendition.  I think this might be my favorite critter of cloth.

The velveteen rabbit, with a matching tote of course.

This is Keelo, she is one of our rescued dogs.  The city shelters have lined walkways that are labeled Monday thru Friday. The dogs are put in pens and after the week is up if they are not adopted out, then they must be put to sleep.  There are literally over 800 dogs per week that are destroyed in our main city alone each week.
     So Jazz is going to use her funds to get dogs from "death row" and feed, house, and neuter or spay as needed until they can be adopted out.   She will then go and get more.
     Now, of course you know she had BIG plans to get ALL the dogs, but I told her that isnt possible yet.  But one day hopefully.  We hope to get a website for the dogs to be adopted and she is going to try to work with the Humane Society to also help place some dogs and cats.
       The humane society will usually keep a dog as long as they have the kennel space until they are adopted.  It is the City pounds that are only a 7 day life span for these dogs and cats.
    I have seen every pure bred imaginable there, Our wish is that everyone will check the pounds before getting a dog. They are only a puppy for a few months, and a pound dog seems to always have a sense of gratitude like they KNOW you saved them.  I dont know how to explain it, but both my dogs are that way.  One is a mutt, and the other a pure Bull Mastiff named Tank.   YES from the POUND.  All 145 pounds of him.

  This is Middy (short of course for Mitten meow stripey) and D. (Short for Doctor Dandelion)
Yes, BOTH are strays.....they showed up on the property and have never left. They are ALWAYS right in the middle of the action.  Its hard to believe that when she found them, it took months until they would let you even touch them. Now, D purrs sooooooo loud he sounds just like a lawnmower.

 So if you are going to be in Atlanta at the Summer show in July. Please come by Peacock Park Designs Showroom to give Jazz some words of encouragement or just to say hi.

She is a nervous wreck that she isnt going to sell her products.

I think mom might place a hefty order (So guess what everyone I know will be getting for Xmas this year?...........Velvet totes anyone? )

If you can't make it to market you can leave her a comment here, and I will make sure she reads each and every one.
