Don't Feed the Animals, They Are Already Stuffed!

I would like to introduce you to some of my daughters dear little playmates! They are the sweetest little things and she has many good times with them, laughing, talking and sharing adventures. Here is a peek into her little world.



Friends waiting for tea time!




The hostess sampling her handiwork before serving her guests.
Boots getting his first taste!



Look at their sweet little faces.


So well mannered and waiting for their turn for hugs and conversation!


Boots being very content after his yummy cake and morning tea. He won't be swinging around the couch until later when Dora the Explorer comes on!




Here are the Peace on Earth duo. They never fight.

Here is Spot resting by the African Animals where Mary dreams in the afternoon (she takes her naps on this blanket) For more stories about Spot go here.

Mary's African friends


These guys, Barry & Bunni, are from California. My sweet friend, Selina, found them on her travels and brought them to us to adopt.




Linus and Myrtle hang out in the nursery. They are a home spun sort the do not travel far. We did manage to get them to come to the living room for a group shot!


I had to work fast because they do not like to sit still.




For more wonderful treasures and the stories behind them go to Kelli's blog here.

Such a sweet post, Elena!:) All of the little criters are so cute, it's hard to pick a favorite.

The little lamb reminds me of the famous puppet Lambchops:)

Remember Sherry and Lambchops?

I hope it's warm where you are. Have a great weekend!

Hugs,
Linda C

Simply adorable!
To think I have most of my son's stuffed in plastic bags now, makes me sad and want to see him as a little guy again. The years do fly by!

They all have such sweet, precious faces. The lambs are always my favorite.

How sweet! I especially like the little sheep, but the cow is very precious too. What a fantastic hostess Mary is to prepare tea for her friends. That's my kind of friend! :)

How absolutely gorgeous Elena!! It is funny, before I was a mother I would watch other people's children playing with toys, and little dolls; and even little ones who hadn't begun to talk - and they all seemed to be involved in their own little worlds, chatting away about things and getting totally lost in a place of their own making. Such a wonderful, innocent, special time - I hope these wee animals continue to fill her heart and days with fun and happiness - just as they have brightened up my evening reading about them.

Blessings and prayers to you all for the coming week, dear Elena.

So cute Elena. A child's imagination is so sweet. It's so cute to me that they really do think they are real, or at least my kids did. Very sweet post. Kathi
