Hi, I'm Lady Lucas... a purple bat from Jersey with red shoes that was created by artist Ashley Lucas. I'm the spokeswoman for 'Lady Lucas' cards and art. I love eating out, having fun with friends and collecting weird, old stuff. I guess I'm a lot like my creator ;)

Dearest Guys & Gals, I've decided to do something totally different concerning your average business card. The new Lady Lucas/Ashley Lucas business card, is actually a 'calling card' with original art on the front. That's right folks, free original art that would look great on your desk, framed in the kitchen, or hung on the fridge. All you have to do... is find the calling cards. Most will be distributed within cafes and coffee shops.*Hint* For all you JCer's... there's a fresh stack at Dames Cafe on Jersey Ave.

Dear All! I once again have the pleasure of introducing you to a book by a fellow Indie Debut member!! 'Trouble in the Trees', by Yolanda Ridge is the newest addition to the Lady Lucas Summer Blog Tour. Here is a synopsis of the story:
Bree is happiest when she’s climbing the trees at Cedar Grove, her urban townhouse complex. She’s the best climber around, but when one of her younger friends falls from a tree and hurts himself, the Neighborhood Council bans all tree climbing in Cedar Grove. If Bree chooses to ignore the bylaw, her family could be kicked out of their home. But what can one girl do? She knows it’s not a battle she can win on her own, but rallying the Cedar Grove troops is more difficult than she imagined. You may visit Yolanda's website here and buy her awesome book via: Amazon Chapters Barnes & Noble Love & Lentils, LL

Hey Everyone! I'd like to welcome you to the Lady Lucas summer blog tour! We're starting off this week with a little story you all know well. 'Boo, Bat & Pumpkin Throw a Party' is the story of three charming outcasts who hope to earn the respect of the 'popular' kids at school by throwing a super cool Halloween party. The story stars my cousin Bat, and offers super illustrations, a few laughs, and even some suspense along the way. After being self published by author Ashley Lucas in 2010, the book is now proudly offered by Sunbury Press. Happily... the price of book is now more affordable, and the quality of this paperback even more spiffy thanks some awesome magic by Sunbury! Check it out on Amazon or on the website of Sunbury Press today! Love & Liver Cheese, LL

Hey Everyone.
That special day is upon us tomorrow... Mother's Day!! Here are some cute ideas you can think about to make mom's day extra great~- Make her a card! Of course I've love it if the world only sent Lady Lucas greetings, but the best Mother's Day card is one you make yourself. Place a flower seed packet inside or poke a decorative pin to the front of the card to make it extra special.
- Gift her an 'artful' gift. A decorative frame, bracelet made out of buttons found around the home, or even a 'memory corkboard' to hang in the kitchen are good ideas.
- Looking for very last minute gift? Make a donation in her name. My choice would be ASPCA! I don't think many moms are interested in the Bat Society of America, etc. ;)
At the very least, just give her a ring or write an email telling her why she's so special to you! Love & Ladybug Chocolates, LL
Yesterday I decided to give flying a rest for a few hours, and got a ride on the IKEA shuttle to Red Hook, Brooklyn in order to check out a neighborhood I had never explored before. After stuffing a few meatballs down with sugary juice in the cafeteria, I left IKEA to explore, what first appeared to be a crazy industrial sea town with abandoned houses and lots. Finally, I happened upon a quaint little street with some great stores and cafes... and one in particular that really rocked my world. No bat merchandise, but other incredibly cute stuff. It's called Foxy & Winston. Red Hook proved to a be a town I can't quite describe, other than to say- check it out yourself and don't be surprised if you find a few unexpected treasures like the suburban style plant nursery, and amazing waterfront views.

Hey All! I've been spreading the word this week about this awesome place I visited in Park Slope last weekend. Film Biz Recycle Prop Shop is located in Brooklyn off the Union Stop on the R train and is super easy to get to... You enter through this impressive looking gate, walk all the way through this old, warehouse looking building... and then finally arrive at a huge room of antiques, clothes, furniture and other rare finds. Super cool place for artists, as all the items are reasonably priced. I purchased this cute antique yawning dog, and they threw the moss in for free!! Awesomeness! Love & Liquor Chocolate Candies, LL
Dear All, Lady Lucas Speaks Her Mind now has a new template, groovy background, and sweet blog header. Ashley whipped up some sculptures this week that represent her kawaii characters, and thought this would be a good way to showcase them. I'm one happy bat, because the weather is finally going to change, and that means my usual midnight flights to Manhattan and back. {Bats love summer after all...}. Enjoy spring!! Love & Liver Pie, LL
