skip, skip, skippity hop to my lou

There are days – many days, as of late – when I dream of a future where I have time to make my own toys Lots of them. I’m fairly positive some of them would happenstance to look like Skippity Hop Creatures. The little sweaters and shoes, the funny high pile fur collars and crazy Henson-esque hair, the ever so serious faces. It all makes me swoon a bit. I’d like one sitting in my favorite reading chair, waiting to help me escape into a good book. Maybe a modern day Wind in the Willows. Hey, someone should write a modern day Wind in the Willows!

Skippity Hop Creatures are handmade in Scotland by Kim (hello, fellow sculpture major!), and range from about $58 – $94.
