My New Shoppe - "The Crafty Castle" Coming Soon!!! Located in Minnesota

I am excited about my new shoppe - called, "The Crafty Castle" AKA "TCC"! This is a dream come true! I recently decided to have it in my home. This will be nice to have my shoppe in right in my own home. I won't have to worry about driving in the bad weather or step out into the cold:-) Plus, it costs alot to rent, heat, electricity, ect....

I have to say I am scared about opening it up to the public. Fear of not having customers or anyone buying anything - basically all those neg. thoughts that stop us going for our dreams. I have decided to put that all aside and stay open to my positive side, so I can succeed and make my dreams to come true! I am very greatful to have the extra space right in my own home!!!!

My shoppe is still under construction but hope to open very soon for business. I will add updates on my finished shop and let you know how I am doing!

Blessed Be, Gypsie xoox

What Inspires Me To Sculpt OOAK Monkey Art Dolls?

The answer is -- the love and passion I have for monkeys! I am a complete monkey nut!!! I have always dreamed of having my very own monkey.

Several years later, my dream came true, with my first ringtail lemur "Lenny". He needed a home because his owner no longer could care for him. We ended up adopting him. Lenny and I bonded instantly! I had Lenny for almost a year. He sadly past away from a brain tumor:-( It was one of the sadest days in my life -- the day I had to sign the papers, to have him put to sleep. But needed to do what was best for him! I couldn't watch him suffer anymore!
My heart had a big huge hole in it for several month after his passing. I cried for days!

Then, I met "Gunner"-- my handsome white faced capuchin.

One evening we got a phone call from a teenage girl. She said her mom left their family and a baby monkey, that they could no longer take care of. I was so excited and couldn't wait to see my new baby, Gunner -- aka Zeek, at the time. I had to change his name! LOL The day we picked Gunner up, he was very scared and craddled in his baby blanket, as he made churping noises. Sounding very much like a bird. Gunner and I bonded instantly as well.

I have learned alot from this monkey - the hard way! Which I am glad cuz if I didn't I wouldn't have the knowledge I have today:-)

Having Gunner helped heal my broken heart, that ached for Lenny.
5 yrs. later go by and I still have my precious little guy! Gunner has a capuchin friend, named Hailee! She was rescued 3 yrs. ago.

I feel very blessed to have saved these precious primates and the knowledge it takes to work with them and take care of them. I did lots of research on monkeys before I even thought about rescuing them. I made sure that this was something I really wanted to do and not just my passion I have for monkeys!

Primates require alot of time, knowledge, proper diet, ect..... Not to mention they have a 30 yr. or more life span. I have a great gift for working with primates. Which I am thankful for!

I plan to create artwork (paintings) with Gunner in the near future. Follow my blog to see updated info.
