Jagger - a Baseboard Mouse

After a three week road trip - with a week's prep before and nearly another week getting caught up when we returned - I'm finally back in the studio with my paints and my Baseboard Mice.  

Today I would like to introduce you to Jagger.  He's been in the studio for several months now, patiently awaiting his "big announcement" on the mouse blog.  He comes from Asheville, NC.  The French Broad River is a great place to kayak and a favorite of Jagger's.  He keeps a tiny kayak just for river adventures.

If you'd like to "adopt" Jagger - just click on his image above and you'll be taken to the Adoptable Mice page of the Baseboard Mice website.  

Our road trip took us to the Four Corners area in the southwest.  There are lots of mice out that way looking for homes!!  Be sure to stop back again to meet them.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Lily - the latest Mouse in the House

It's way past time for a new addition to the baseboard mice series.  Today, I would like to introduce you to Lily.  She loves summer.  Her favorite things include sitting on the porch swing with a glass of lemonade and a good romance novel.   She also loves the smell of fresh flowers.



Lily


Lily would love to be adopted.  If you are interested, you can click on the photo of her above and it will take you right to the mouse "adoption" page.  

There are two more mice waiting to be added to the adoption list.  Be sure to check back again soon to meet them.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Introducing Thelonious Mouse

Much of my studio time recently has been taken up by a painting I'm working on for a local art exhibit, which means that my baseboard mice are taking a bit of a vacation.  But.... today I would like to introduce you to the latest mouse.  Thelonious Mouse.   



Thelonious Mouse

Thelonious Mouse loves music, especially jazz.  And like his namesake, comes from Rocky Mount, NC.  Thelonious adores his sunglasses - he is a bit of a showmouse and aims to stand out in a crowd.  If you have a piano in your house, you are bound to hear music if Thelonious Mouse is nearby.

Thelonious Mouse already has a home I believe (THANK YOU!!!), but if you are interested in a mouse of your very own, just shoot me an email (susan@baseboardmice.com).

There is one more addition to my Baseboard Mice series waiting to be photographed.  She's very cute and her name is Lilly.  She is available to be "adopted".  And just as soon as I get a photo, I'll be back to introduce her to you.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  And special thanks to all of you who have "adopted" my mice.  (I hope they are all behaving!!)

Introducing Phyllis - a new Mouse in the House

Today, I would like to introduce you to Phyllis, a recent addition to my Baseboard Mice series.  Phyllis is a delightful character.  She loves to travel - in  campers and sailboats most of all.  The mountains of North Carolina and the turquoise water in the Florida Keys keep her going back and forth.  Phyllis also has musical talents.  She can play both the piano and the xylophone.  And most of fun of all, take her to a party and you'll find that she loves to dance on tables.


Phyllis

Phyllis has already been adopted (Thank You!!!), but if you want a baseboard mouse of your very own, be sure to let me know.  And I think that Zach is still available over on the mouse website, if you would like to meet him.  There's an adorable little girl baseboard mouse just about finished in my studio and she'll be available in the next day or so.  Don't forget, you can also request a "custom" mouse.  Perhaps you've got a special name in mind, or a personality.   Just let me know!!  

Thanks for stopping by!!

New Mouse Alert!!

Finally!! There's a new mouse available for adoption.  After working for several weeks on a larger painting, it was fun to get back to painting these tiny little creatures this week.  

This little guy is known as Noah.  He comes from Nantucket and enjoyed life on the island, especially watching sailboats sailing by.  Clambakes on the beach were fun, too.  He's ready for a new adventure now.  Maybe with you?  Just click on Noah's photo below if you think you might be the one.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  There's one more little mouse drying in my studio.  You'll get to meet him in just a few days.  See you then!!

There's a new Mouse The House!!

It's been a while since I've been able to announce a new addition to the Baseboard Mice series.  The response to the mice has been great and I've been busy painting "special order" mice.  Some of these are requests to paint, for example, another "Bubba".  I can't promise they will be identical - since each one is an original, but they'll be hard to tell apart.  Another request I've had is for a mouse with a specific name.  If you've been waiting for a favorite name, feel free to send me an email to let me know.  I have even had a request for a mouse from a certain place.  So, if you are hoping to adopt a mouse that comes, from say, Paris, just shoot me an email.  

Back to the new mouse.... Her name is Lexie and she comes from the Pacific Northwest.  She tells stories of the Quileute Indian Tribe’s drumming circles in La Push. She even keeps a tiny drum close by.  


"Lexie" - A Mouse In The House, Baseboard Mouse

There are just a few mice available on the mouse website right now, so if you've been thinking about "adopting" one, be sure to see if there is a personality there that just might be who you are looking for before they are gone!  

I've been hearing a few good "baseboard mouse" stories, and I'll be sharing them here on the blog later this week.  Until then....

Thanks for stopping by....

Introducing Nicholas....

There's a new Mouse In The House to share with you today.  This little mouse's name is Nicholas.  He comes from the Wild West and dreams of cowboys and campfires.

One of his favorite snacks is Cowboy Caviar. Ask nicely, he might share his recipe.


Nicholas - Baseboard Mouse


I'm painting mice as fast as I can, but I'm falling behind the demand.  Not a bad thing, but it means a little wait before there will be more mice.  

If you see a mouse on the website that has been adopted and you were really hoping to adopt that particular mouse, just let me know and I'll be happy to paint another one like it.  

Thanks so much for stopping by - and for your support of my latest art adventure.
