Steal Magnolia Blvd.

Wendy Kathleen Photography

Inside Magnolia Park’s Toadstool Farm Vintage lies soft palettes of sweet yellow, hanging chandeliers glistening off the vintage china, spicy scents lingering from burning candles, romantic tunes dancing in the air, a sprinkle of magic and one misfit holding onto the dream of keeping her fairytale horses.

Jacqueline Collen-Tarrolly opened the store in Burbank at the beginning of August 2011, and has currently accumulated a large and loyal fan base that is now standing behind her as she struggles to keep her family of horses together. After years of desperate struggle, Jacqueline was forced to put up two of her four stallions for sale, but with a lot of brainstorming, and the faithful band of Toadstool followers, a hopeful raffle was born.

Tickets are now on sale until midnight December 31st, and every ticket purchaser is a winner. Buy a raffle ticket and enjoy a thank you card and signed 3x5 print of her art. Different levels have been set up to purchase from and each level will have their own drawing. Then each ticket will be replaced and a grand prize winner will be pulled, which entails a fairytale photo shoot or photos with one of the Toadstool Farm horses.

The prices for tickets range from $10.00-$250.00, but the gift of giving Jacqueline her horses back is the greater prize in the end. As Christmas sits just around the corner, Burbank is pulling together to fulfill the act of giving this holiday season. To buy a raffle ticket and see the prize levels, click here.

Jacqueline has one more trick up her sleeve in order to save her family, and that is with the Adopt-A-Toadstool Farm Horse Program. For as low as $5 a month, you can adopt a Toadstool Farm horse and receive a certificate of adoption and access to that horse’s exclusive blog, told from the horse’s point of view. To see all adoption levels and to purchase an adoption package, click here.


Give the gift of family this Christmas for Jacqueline and for yourself. Adoption packages make for great holiday gifts for horse lovers, and it safe to know that your donations go directly to the Toadstool Farm fairytale horses.

Please enjoy this beautifully written bio written by Rebecca Wright:

Gregory picked up a simple Polaroid camera, started shooting back in 2007 and hasn't stopped since.It was obvious even then to the people around him that Gregory had a special eye for the immense levels of life surrounding, and it wasn't long before his grandfather gave him his first Canon FT QL, which is also the camera Gregory will often be found using even today. 




Compelled to show his view of the world, he took off on his bicycle to document the streets of Los Angeles, capturing anything from a whimsical Chinese lantern bobbing overhead in the breeze of Chinatown, to a gruesomely exhausted transient napping on a sidewalk.There is a certain purity found in his photographs that draws the eye to take a closer look, to understand the story that is found within them.

Greg's passion for life is sewn beautifully in the stills he produces and the future ahead of him shines brightly in the eyes behind the lens. When asked what he wants his photography to accomplish Gregory answered simply, " I want to expose the world for what it truly is. I want to show people what they cannot see alone. I want to free their minds of barriers."
