Le Petit Elefant Summer Shop is now OPEN!

Friday, August 01, 2014

It's finally open! Months in the planning with only days to execute, I'm so excited to invite you all to my very first Pop-Up Shop. Step into the imaginative world of Le Petit Elefant as I take over a small part ofWestfield Valley Fair in conjunction with Pop-Ups by SJ Made. The #LPESummerShop features new art prints, stationery, rubber stamps, stickers, mason jars, and more!
Designed by me and produced by San Jose vendor Jiminy Stitch It, I have "Shop Local. Shop Love" Clink tote bags EXCLUSIVE to the #LPESummerShop. I'll be giving away tote bags to the first 10 customers who spend over $25 both this Saturday & Sunday (August 2 & 3). Get 'em while you can! At the end of the month, I'll put the remaining for sale online.
Preparing for & opening the pop-up was probably one of the toughest challenges I've had as a small business owner, and this wall is the element I'm most proud of. Come by the shop, take a picture in front of it (or anywhere in the shop), tag me on Instagram (@lepetitelefant , #LPESummerShop) and you'll get 10% off. Weeeee!!

OK everyone, thanks for reading and visiting! I hope you'll come to the shop. This moment is huge for me, and I'm so thankful you're all here to share this crazy adventure.

Calendar Giveaway Winners & SALE!

Thursday, December 30, 2010


Thank you to everyone who submitted a beautiful story for the contest! I really enjoyed reading them. Each one definitely got the creative gears turning & the heart warming. After some serious rereading & thinking, I've selected Chris Tarver as the winner of the print & calendar. My yeti hat (pictured above) & fate chose Tara Tran as the winner of the random raffle. I'll not ruin the surprise and reveal the story. Instead, you'll have to wait for the painting & print :)

I have a special goodie for all who submitted, too. So there's some incentive to participate in the next contest ;)

Now, on to the SALE!
The 2011 calendar by le petit elefant & {paper & type} is now $16 instead of $20! Victoria & I only have a few (seriously!) so visit either of our shops, le petit elefant & {paper & type}, to purchase!

Happy New Year & as my mom says, make good choices!

I just realized I probably sewed over 90 stuffed creatures last year. I started taking inventory in September and I have 81 plush friends logged. WTF! How did I do all that by hand?!

For 6 weeks I'm staying put in the Philippines until I hop on a jetplane for Japan & Singapore in April. Tough life, right? The month solo backpacking trip was amazing and I finally have pictures to prove it! What better way to kick off the sharing than with food & art ;)

Peterson's Great Adventure

Sunday, July 05, 2009


Early one morning in the garden of Le Petit, Peterson the green dinosaur awoke with a grumble. He was filled with worry. He had never heard such funny sounds of gurgling, oogering, gargling, grawkering. "I must be hungry!" he exclaimed and he went on his way to find food.


 He tasted the flowers.  He snacked on the leaves. He dined on the vines. He munched on the mulch. Yet nothing seemed to satiate Peterson's appetite and grumbling.


"Excuse me, Bunny" he asked. "Can you hear my grumbling?" And the bunny listened and heard and didn't know what to say. Concerned that the very hungry dinosaur may start nibbling on him, he hopped away. Peterson, insulted by the assumption because he was after all a vegetarian, carried on.

"Excuse me, human" Peterson asked. "Do you hear my grumbling?" But the human was listening to his iPod and didn't hear Peterson's tummy sounds. By this time, Peterson's grumbling was getting louder and louder and more intolerable by the second. Deeply concerned, he carried on. 


"Excuse me, darkness" Peterson asked. "Do you hear my grumbling?" But the darkness only replied with an echo. Thinking the darkness was mocking him, Peterson carried on feeling even more depressed. He couldn't find anyone to help him.


Eventually Peterson approached a couple of smoochers. Slightly disgusted by their kissing, he braved the awkwardness and asked for their help.

Slightly annoyed by the interruption, the smoochers heard his grumbling and decided to put their kissing on pause. "We can help you if you help us. We are thirsty from kissing for hours, but are too short to drink. Help us reach the water and we will give you a cure for your grumbling."

Peterson thought and his stomach let out the loudest grumble he had ever heard. The elephants took it to be a yes and proceeded with the deal.


Very carefully and with much silliness, Peterson helped the smoochers quench their thirst. As promised, they offered Peterson the most amazing cure for his grumbling. To his amazement...

it worked like a charm.

A Most Wonderful Weekend!
