How windy IS it??? December 28, 2018


Looks like the cold wind and snow reached farther than expected.  When I got to the Library this morning I saw the Dragons helping a little lost elf.  All five are now sitting around the castle hearth, eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate. 

In gratitude, after the North Pole was back to business-as-usual, Santa sent his personal sleigh and very special friend to spend the day with the Dragons:
Thank YOU, Santa!

(Do you see that little hole by the sleigh? Theo kept bailing out because "it's fun!" Silly Theo!)

NEW SWEATERS! Friday, December 21, 2018


NEW SWEATERS!

A few weeks ago, knowing that National Ugly Holiday Sweater Day was looming, I asked Rebecca Hudson, dear friend of our Dragons, if she could knit some sweaters for the Quartet.

She said she’d be happy to! J

Armed with knitting needles and imagination, Rebecca created these amazing outfits!

There is only one problem ~ these outfits don’t fit the “ugly” theme because they are ADORABLE!
Now, for your viewing pleasure, please take
 a walk down the runway with us …

ANDER
 
Sporting a Victorian-era Santa design,
with fur trimmed coat and long
winter’s cap, Ander is ready for the
holidays. Ander is color-blind,
so prefers solid colors. 
Ander completes this festive ensemble
with a delicious dapper cane!


BLAYZE
 
This little Dragon is always dashing
from inside to outside and back;
the jaunty collar – which can stand
up or fold down – is perfect for this
busy Dragon! The fuzzy cuffs
keep Blayze’s hands warm, which is
especially good for a Dragon
that prefers snow globes to real snow!


JIA
 
Can we just be very honest here?
Jia hates the cold.
The thick collar, extra-long sleeves
and maxi-length of this sweater
ensures that this Dragon will stay
toasty warm. From the tips of the
toes to the pompom trimmed
stocking-cap, Jia is ready for the season!


THEO
Fashion forward in a retro way
is quintessential Theo.
No one wears a fringed poncho
quite like this daring fashion Dragon.
There is no doubt that by
finishing this look with a fancy beret,
Theo won’t need to worry about
being there “with bells on”!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Thank you, Rebecca, for your creativity, generosity and hard work!

THE DRAGONS ARE HIDING WITH A FRIEND! December 16, 2018

So… I opened the Library the other day and could 
not find the Dragons.  I heard very soft giggling 
then, inexplicably, an equally quiet “ho ho ho.”
Found the Dragons and a friend, apparently
checking out how to get into the Library.
Not sure what Santa is doing on Wednesday,
December 19; 12:00 noon – 5:00 p.m.,
but the Dragons will be welcoming
everyone that attends the Library
Holiday Open House that day ~
FREE Cookies & Hot Cider!

LIFE IMITATES ART...October 20, 2018


The Library has a LOT of new books, for kids, teens AND adults! Theo likes to take it to one more level, after reading a new “Fancy Nancy” book. Face it, October is the best month for playing dress-up!
