Happy Happy Joy Joy!

I am so excited to announce that my dear friend Ellen has FINALLY returned to blogging!  A collective wail went out from Ellen's readers when she gave up her popular blog and although her Etsy shop has provided a wee bit of Ellen, it just isn't the same as a blog.  In her blog, Ellen bravely shared such issues and challenges as infertility and depression with her readers.  She wrote a wonderful illustrated primer on depression that is currently on her blog. I highly recommend it.

Ellen and I went to college together and I can honestly say she was my first friend there.  We met at an ice cream social and recognized that we were kindred spirits immediately.  I call her Frank and she calls me Malady.  She is a wonderfully creative and whimsical artist and I am lucky to not only own several of her wonderful pieces but to call her friend as well.

Find her newly revamped blog here.
