New Spring Titles Available!

Barefoot Books Opportunity

Folks who know me are aware that I am not at all a forceful sales person. With twenty years or more of offering services and classes, as well as herbs, art, books and more for sale... in recent years occasionally blogging or posting here about goings-on, but mostly just making myself available for you to ask me if there's anything you might be interested in. So please indulge me a little bit of sales pitch for a few moments. Barefoot Books. I'd like to share the business opportunity with you, and have you join me as an Ambassador. Many modes of selling, and I've done them all...fund raisers, public events, home parties, on-line. You choose how, where, and when you want to sell. For folks local to me, I have marketing materials, display materials, and even inventory for you to use...as well as several events lined up that I need help with. There is an excellent opportunity coming up, March 24th in Thomaston to meet a few other members of the Barefoot family and hear from my personal friend and Barefoot Books Team Leader Dena Davis, of Dena's Barefoot Book Nook, as welll as the North America Barefoot Books Director of Ambassador Sales, Marsha Mitchell. Contact me for details and about carpooling! For those of you unable to attend, you can still visit my Barefoot Books web-link http://www.BarefootBooksStoryteller.com and explore the books, puppets, puzzles, music and more...and even sign-up with me & Barefoot.

There are some changes coming to the program on April 1st (which will be discussed at Dena's) and I request that you allow me to tell you about them before you sign-up.

Thank you for letting me share this with you. I welcome any questions, and sincerely hope to be hearing from you.

The Snow Queen

The "Splendor of the Season" owl image below is from this exquisitely illustrated retelling of the classic story "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. In it, an evil troll creates a mirror which reflects the bad and ugly sides of people. Shards of its glass enter a young boy, causing him to reject his loving family and best friend Gerda. Helped by kind strangers and guided by her warm heart, Gerda makes the perilous journey to rescue her friend from the icy palace of the Snow Queen. Illustrations are by Miss Clara.
