Time: 1979 Place: St. Thomas, Virgin Islands

  • A small, round object caught my eye. Now, 30 years later, I have a houseful of hedgehogs.

About the Weblog

  • This weblog is mainly for hedgehog lovers and mostly for fun. At first, I collected hedgehogs because I thought they were cute. When I began to learn more about the little creatures, I found they are becoming endangered in the wild due to habitat destruction and accidental death by cars and farm machinery. My wish is to bring some happiness and amusement to others who also love hedgehogs. In addition, I hope that more people will learn about the plight of these harmless little animals, and do what they can to protect them.


  • Visit the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to learn more about wild hedgehogs.


  • If you are interested in a site discussing both wild and domesticated hedgehogs, visit The International Hedgehog Association.

BIRTHDAY HEDGEHOGS AND STONE CRITTERS

Birthdaybowl

Here are some sweet, new additions to my hedgehog collection. I usually receive some hedgehogs for my birthday, and this year my friends and relatives came through again. I especially love the little bowl that was a gift from my son.  It's perfect for holding just the right amount of Dove dark chocolates so I don't overdo it with my daily dose. I am still clinging to the current thought that chocolate has wonderful health benefits!

Stonecritters

This may be the last group of resin hedgehogs in my collection.  They are by Stone Critters and have the cutest little faces. I'm not sure if the company is still in business, but they made beautiful figurines of all sorts of animals.

My Book


  • The book is now available at our Etsy shop.

The Roundabout Hedgehog Journey

  • Thanks to a chance meeting, my book found its illustrator. In Stratford-upon-Avon, my husband and I met a British man who happens to live in the US. We eventually reunited in Florida, where I met his wife Nancy. During our first conversation, she said, "I've always wanted to illustrate a children's book." Luckily, I had written one!

  • In addition to our book, Nancy and I are collaborating in an online shop. Please stop by for a visit.
