my desk toys..and other favourite things :)

ok..so here are a few close-ups of the toys i keep on my desk..and a few other things in my space that i love sooo much :)
this is baby wobble-head turtle.
mama wobble-head turtle...i like these two cuz whenever i get typing..they just kinda sit there and look at me..with their heads wobblin' up and down and round and round..they make me giggle.
my dala horse..a very good friend of mine gave this to me when i was a whole lot younger..i couldn't exactly remember where he got it from...at first i thought it was germany..but after some research..i figured out it was from sweden..i hope i have this wee horse forever :)
this is one of the first origami frogs that i made..so i keep it on my desk..i make a whole LOT of origami frogs..hahaha they are the only thing that i can make right now out of my head..without looking at a pattern...if anyone is interested in owning one of my handmade origami frogs..feel free to email me yer addy...i have a whole bunch :)
here are a few of my favourite things...all in one picture..we have a couple of pens from my pen collection...the big yellow one quacks when u press his belly...the blue bear and the frog are just really really cute..and really really soft....there is also my pickle people finger puppets....and the pottery piece that i keep them all in is one of the first pieces that i made when i took a pottery class is '98.
this one here is a stained glass jewelry box that i made my gran for xmas in '92..when she passed away my mama gave it back to me.
these are two of my most favourite books in the world..i've read Charlotte's Web i dunno how many times...and when i was little..and had my first loose tooth..my mama and my dad gave me Bruce's Loose Tooth.
this is all that i have left of my kitty Basil..i sure do miss him...:(

now....last..but definitely not least...one...yes..one of my stationary boxes..i'm a little bit of an addict...hahaha.

Hi Nicki!

Cute stuff. I think it was a good post...it's nice to visit Nickiland.

(Sorry about little Basil...I had my ferret Chachi cremated...My friends thought that was odd...But I miss him too. He was pretty cool and adventurous).

I liked the waffle from the previous post too and I felt kinda sad for the spilled milk...not bad enough to cry over it though...(sorry for that)...

Take care out there!

Your Pal,

Zambo.

Hahahahahaaa!! We are so much alike it scares the heck out of me.

I have the same bobble head turtle, I collect frog stuff, I just made a footprint of my dog in some really cool clay stuff Moogs got for Christmas anddd...I used to be able to only make frog origamis..lmao!!

I like all your stuff. Bright colors suck me in, maybe I was a crow in a past life. I’ll try and remember to send you my address so you can send me a frog. I knew I was missing something in my life.

That's a very cool idea to show us pieces of yourself!

I love your little horse.
Your kitty print is so sweet:)
