SCHUCO MONKEY

 

Yesterday I received my Schuco Monkey!

 

Wow he is so amazing I am over the moon!!!!!

I had really problems to find a monkey.....

I tried to do one (pipe cleaners) and yes the result is very very poor!

 

I asked Natasja if she can do one for me...

and yesterday Santa (my Dad) was here.........

 

I sent Natasja a photos of a real Schuco monkey:

X-mas is coming / Part 1...a teddy & a rabbit

 

I know x-mas is in 2 weeks but Santa stopped here!!!!!

Hehe he needs a calender!

 

I received a lovely teddy in a clown costume and a rabbit for my toy shop.

They are super cute!!!!

 

My first idea was to put them in the cabinet....

but later with a till on the counter.....I can not see them!

So I will arrange them....maybe I put them in the little red wagon.
