Pippin lives in a beauty berry bush in historic Lewes, DE, and given what a joy she is to behold it is the perfect place for her nest.

Pippin is quite the influencer in the local avian community, often giving tips and advice on feather care, nest decor, best neighbourhood trees in which to settle, etc. and her podcast “Pippin’s Picks” now has a substantial following. Once a month Pippin does a tree tour around Lewes, pointing out the birdfeeders with the best quality seed to keep feathers looking colorful and shiny. The tour is popular and often must be booked months in advance.

Pippin has also established an app for birds to find their dream mate and “Cheep Dates” has become a must for anyone looking to settle with their forever partner.

If you visit the ever-amazing Shore Marketplace in Lewes DE you may see Pippin flitting around checking artisan merch to promote in her podcast!

Matt is one big, cuddly bear, and oh boy does he enjoy those cuddles, but he’s a generous bear and gives as much love as he gets. When you see him you just want to curl up in his lap.

He’s so glad he moved to Delaware as he just loves the people here – they’re all so friendly. He likes to hang out at Trap Pond State Park and can often be seen at the Visitor Center greeting new arrivals. He’s quite the attraction nowadays and even has a strong Facebook following!

See if you can spot his best friend Busby the Bee flying around and landing on his head!

Both can currently be found at the wonderful Shore Marketplace in Lewes DE.

PS: I was born in Manchester (UK not NH!) and am a United fan. See if you can spot the nod to Manchester United in the naming of these cuties!

He’s landed!

Gloop lives on the planet Ploppymos and lives a happy life there with his family. He really enjoys school and works especially hard in science subjects because one day he wants to be an astronaut and fly to planet Earth where he hears there are some very strange creatures called "humans" he may be able to make friends with. Gloop is very diligent and always does his homework when he gets home from school. He then goes crater-hopping with his friend Brylo. Their favorite crater is Flimpong which has a fantastic slope they can slide down, safely landing in the mound of crater dust at the bottom. Gloop's mom is never happy when a dusty Gloop comes home - she sends him straight out to the aquablast to wash it all off!

Gloop is floating through the atmospheric, awsome Shore Marketplace right now! Better call in to see him before he zooms off again!
