As a life long RI resident, I've been making dog treats for more than 10 years. In 2006 our family adopted Lilly. She made us dog people for life. I officially started Lilly's Bone To Pick in 2019. The treats I make have 6 ingredients and I bake exclusively at Hope & Main in Warren, RI. The ingredients are all human grade and the treats contain no preservatives. I also make Up-Cycled Pet Collars out of rescued dress shirts. The collars are perfect for all your Zoom calls. The next time your pet interrupts your Zoom meeting, they can be well-dressed. I recently added handmade bandanas to my product offering. The bandanas are made from speciality fabrics now and will eventually be made from the remnants of the shirts.

I have self published two children's books titled, Grandma's House and Mama Bear's Magic. As a Reading Specialist/Consultant for over 20 years in RI, my passion is to work with children, adults, and families foster a love of reading and advocate for childhood literacy. Workshops and author visits can be tailored to an organizations interests and needs but always focus on having children embrace literacy, live to learn, and love their process. Details for each title are below. GRANDMA'S HOUSE Savor the sounds, tastes, smells and feelings that come to life only at Grandma's House - a memoir that transcends time and cultures. The book cover and illustrations throughout the story replicate the house that still stands in Providence, RI today, as well as the items in the home of the author’s favorite childhood place - Grandma’s house. A series of vivid memories come alive through the light, impressionistic watercolor techniques on each page that lend itself to the story’s feeling of nostalgia for readers of all ages. The story comes full circle, capturing how the author processes her childhood experiences in order to discover, as an adult, that her senses, thankfully, keep her cherished memories alive forever. KEY SELLING POINTS -The character’s thoughts and actions elicit emotion in readers of all ages -Encourages children to reflect on their own process and how experiences shape them -As a mentor text, supports educators with cross-curricular connections, i.e. the five senses, sensory imagery, memoir and descriptive writing, and social emotional learning discussions. -A Read Aloud for all ages -The perfect gift to honor a Grandmother’s birthday and/or National Grandparents Day MAMA BEAR'S MAGIC Delight in Mama Bear's Magic as Tiny Bear realizes that bath time can actually be “beary” fun! This humorous, truth-telling look at bath time illustrates how Tiny Bear overcomes his apprehension for the bath because of Brother Bear’s modeling and Mama Bear’s clever approach. It’s like magic! Mama Bear embraces Tiny Bear’s process as he discovers that bathing is an enjoyable, healthy practice. The bright illustrations capture the heart of the story and its readers. KEY SELLING POINTS -Relatable to parents and children -Humor engages young readers and entices them to read more -Encourages the importance of independent self-care and hygiene -Highlights the bond between mother and child -Showcases older siblings as role models -Appropriate mentor text to support health education delivered by nurses and educators -The perfect gift for mothers-to-be and/or adding to a child’s bookshelf

We're a 3rd generation local family owned business that has made component pieces for other jewelry manufacturers for nearly 70 years. In 2015 we were trying to develop some new ideas around the pieces we had made for decades. Lovements was born out of that effort and incorporates both some very simple and modern styles in our Signature collection with some classic dazzle in our Rhinestone collection. The two have met this year with the release of our Nouveau collection. All of our bracelets are hand made right here in Rhode Island.
