Here we have “the consultant”, just one of the plates in “Bubbles the Artists’ line of soul dinnerware. There are plates, salad bowls and serving dishes to make for a kitsch filled dinner. I’ll have an extra dose of soul please!

One of the most beautiful serving dishes ever!

Serving up soul at Allee Willis’ “Willis Wonderland”.

This painting by Bubbles just kills me. Title of this painting is “Smothered Turkey”.

Right on Bubbles!

    For any of you who don’t know it, Bubbles the artist was my alter ego who I managed from 1999 when I created her to 2005, when I asked her to retire because I couldn’t spend any more time painting or doing ceramics and had to focus solely on finishing my musical, The Color Purple. She’s been in and out of retirement since then helping me on various projects.

    I always loved those little rubber squeezy coin purses when I was a kid and had them made for Bubbles swag after I met the guy who bought the original company who made them back in the day.

    Allee, I didn’t see the pink coin purses at your Bubbles site. Any still available? Now that makes a statement! Love the pink… & great for quick change at a yard sale.

      I’m sure there are still a few around. I think they were $4. Let me know if you want one and I’ll go on a hunt and dig one out. I love these things!

        Sign me up! It will be like you’re hunting for treasures right along with me. When you locate them, how do we do the transaction?
        I heard just months ago that this squeeze coin purse was invented by a Goodyear Rubber co. employee right here in Akron Oh. decades ago.
