For Chloe :)!!

[avad]

This post is in honor of someone who made me smile SUPERBIG this week! I got a real-live-handwritten letter and art in my mailbox from Chloe, the daughter of my friend maryann's current roomate. IN RAINBOW COLORS!!!!Thank you thank you Chloe!!!!! I love it!:)!
Tell me this isn't the sweetest thing EVer:


And she made a beautiful color drawing based on A Place for Us!:

I am beyond touched. I am melting into a puddle. dang.

Ok, so I had promised to post pics of my beloved Polly Pocket collection (she sent me pics of hers through M) and so Finally, Chloe, here they are (so sorry for the wait!):

These are the older kind, mostly from the 80's...and they're very small and fold up into cute little compacts of all shapes..hearts, flowers, books, etc!

The colors and playfulness of them inspire many of my artworks...and I used the titles in my last series of sparkleworlds!...here's a close-up of one of my favorites- Suki's Teahouse!


Here's the one that opens up from the bookshape! It's called 'Sparkle Snowland'!


This is probably my ABSOLUTE Favorite. This is 'Grandma's Cottage'. I made a large artwork based on this...*sigh*..but unfortunately the resin didn't work out..waah.This one opens up from the house shape.


And here's one more pic of a pretty teagarden one...the doors open and the swings go round and the little bunny pops up and down when you move Polly on the path..:)


I hope you enjoy the pictures! And thank you SO much again for my letter...it made me so happy.

these are so sweet. i never had them when i was little, strange because i was attracted to anything small. a few weeks ago i went to toys r us to pick up a birthday present for my little sister, who was turning 8. she gave me strict instructions over the phone on exactly which brats, bratz? doll she wanted and when i saw them they were just so slutty and terrible and i couldnt buy it. i wanted to get her that new version of littlest pet shop toys, but they only had a few. littlest pet shop was my favorite when i was little, as it combined animals, which i was really into, and miniatures. a flawless toy! anyhow, i ended up getting her some miniature monkey family that came with their little treehouse, which is not at all a slutty toy! those other dolls wore lingerie! with high heels! if i ever have a daughter...

Gifts from kids are the greatest because you really know you've touched them! Like the camera Eye once received.

Oh my goodness! Those Polly Pockey pics just made my night! I love Polly Pocket. See, I was too old already by the time Polly Pockets came out to have any but my little sister (3 years younger) wasn't and I played with her with them ALL the time. I was all about the Charmkins.
