It's that time of year when people are looking around for special gifts for all sorts of holidays. Well, KJE Felties are back! Many of your favorite local birds are making a reappearance, but there are also special releases for the holidays: Polar Bears and Baby Penguins!

Now that you've seen the newest members of the KJE Felties family, I know you'll want to do two things.
1. Go to the KJE Felties page on Facebook and LIKE it. (You'll see other KJE Felties and you'll find out fun stuff, like when Karen Engelbretson will be doing a felting demo!)
and
2. Find out where you can go in the Twin Cities area to meet and collect these little fluff balls of delight!
For that second action, check out the fun KJE Felties Finder that creator Karen Engelbretson has made. It gives you the dates and locations where these critters are making an appearance.

Disclosure note: my friend Karen Engelbretson makes KJE Felties. I have to write this as a disclaimer because she is a friend but I review and promote these because I love them, not because I get any "consideration" for the review, which I don't. Just look at the photos, what's not to love? In person they are even more loveable. Add to that they are made by an artist who is constantly trying to broaden her repetoire and hone her craft. You have to love that too. Go support this local artist. If you give a KJE Feltie to someone and they aren't thrilled then there is something seriously wrong with them, seriously, really. I'm a curmudgeon and even I can't resist them.
Thanks, Roz, for inviting us to your blog. KJE Felties will be flying in to gallery locations next week. Their first appearance is this Sat in Minneapolis at Lisa Lardy’s 4th Annual Art Boutique. Maybe I’ll see you there!
Roz, is there a way to purchase them on line?
Gina, I’m not sure, so I have forwarded your query to Karen. Thanks for asking.
