Hagerstown, MD 21740

Jill Atherton is a fine artist and illustrator who has applied her skills in sewing. Over thirty years ago she was unable to find toys for her son and nephews that seemed real enough in designing and yet was safe. Creating food- stuffs for them to play with became a fun and interesting endeavor. It also remains a challenge; as you may request to have a food created to suit your request, as each child seems to have a favorite food.
