Liam the Lion

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:32:57 -0500

$65.00
Liam is such a sweet, friendly little lion.

Made from 100% wool felt and cotton fabric, his fluffy mane (a wool, alpaca, silk blend) is lovingly hand stitched onto his head. He is stuffed with polyfil. Because he is button-jointed and has plastic safety eyes, we do not recommend Liam for the wee ones ages 3 and younger.

Liam stands 7 1/2 inches tall, 3 1/2 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches deep with a 5 inch armspan. He is poseable and can stand on his own with a little bit of fine-tuning and patience.

Boris the Bat

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:20:59 -0500

$60.00
Boris is made from 100% wool felt and cotton fabrics, stuffed with polyfill, and has plastic safety eyes. Because of the safety eyes and because his little bat legs are button-jointed, we do not recommend him for the little ones.

Boris stands 6 inches tall each (although his cocked left ear reaches 7 inches). His wingspan is between 12 1/2 - 13 inches wide. His body is about 4 inches at its widest point, and he measures approximately 2 1/2 inches deep. He requires a little bit of fine-tuning and fiddling of his legs to get him to stand on his own (hint: it helps if you gently push the legs out), but he stands perfectly when propped against something.

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:20:37 -0500

Hetty is made from 100% wool felt and cotton fabrics, stuffed with polyfill, and has plastic safety eyes. Because of the safety eyes and because her little bat legs are button-jointed, we do not recommend her for the little ones.

Her body is about 4 inches at its widest point, and she measures approximately 2 1/2 inches deep.

Ellie the Mini-Elephant

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:06:27 -0500

$35.00
The elephants are on parade!

Ellie is so excited about the upcoming holidays! Made from 100% wool felt and cotton fabric, Ellie is stuffed with Polyfil and detailed with wool felt. Because of her plastic safety eyes, we do not recommend Ellie for the wee ones ages 3 and younger.

Ellie is 10 1/4 inches from the tips of her toes to the top of her head. Her armspan (and earspan) is 8 inches wide, and she measures 3 1/2 inches deep from her trunk to her back.

Please note: Due to trouble with lighting for the photo shoot, Ellie looks more hot pink than she actually is. Her color is leaning just a touch towards magenta and is not so intense in person.

Martin the Martian

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:04:29 -0500

$65.00
Martin has traveled all the way from our neighbor the Red Planet in search of a new friend and is thrilled to have found one in you.

Martin is made from 100% wool felt and cotton fabric, stuffed with polyfill, and hand-embroidered using 100% cotton floss. Because of his plastic safety eyes and his button-jointed limbs, Martin is not recommended for the wee ones ages three and younger who are prone to putting objects in their mouths. Martin is poseable and can stand on his own with just a little fine-tuning and balancing of his legs. (Hint: it helps if you gently press down on his feet with your fingers.)

Martin stands 10 1/2 inches tall from the soles of his feet to the tip of his antennae. He is 4 inches wide from the tip of one hand to the other, and his body itself is 3 inches wide and 3 inches deep.
