"Poppy"

~ Introducing Poppy ~

My dear friend Poppy is a sweet little man.

He drives around town in a rusty tin can.

His shoes are bright red.

Wears a thimble upon his head.

Being stylish is always his plan.

His town is not big.

And "big" just isn't his gig.

He avoids crowds whenever he can

The hutch studio "Blues"

~ The Hutch Studio "Blues" ~

It's spring  here in the Skagit Valley and we're singing in the rain.  At times the lack of sunshine can give us a good case of the blues.  Today at the studio I thought I would pull out all of the fun blue things that will hopefully bring a smile and ray of sunshine into your day.  Enjoy!

This vintage toy record player could have just as easily made the "red" category but the side wall with the story book decals is what I focused on.  Maybe just maybe these photos of our fun old toys made you want to play the happy blues.  I imagine that's what this record player would do.

"Red"

Oh how they liked to use red on everything back  in the day.  There was something to it I think.  Among all other colors red always stands out.  Like it's saying "Look at me I'm red!".  In art there has been the saying "If you can't make it good make it big, and if you can't make it big make it red."  That isn't to say red items are in some way making up for some shortfall with their surface color.  It's just a funny way to point out the power of "RED".  Here a a few of the beautifully red objects of hutch studio.

I hope you enjoyed this red for your head.

Here's a hint for what's coming up......

I'm feeling a bit sad.

Do you know what is is?
