pint-sized portrait no. 23

Happy Just Because Day!

Yes, today is the very first celebration of our made-up holiday. Heidi & I each got a surprise in the mail yesterday from one of our friends, a vintage “hello” card! Now that made our day! So don’t forget to send a couple of cards today for no particular reason, except to make someone smile.

The star of our portrait today is the very first toy of this type we bought, years and years ago. He was a couple of dollars at a very sad and rundown antique mall. This little guy sparked our VERY large collection of vintage Kamar and Dakin Dream Pets toys. He is also the inspiration behind the many doxie illustrations that grace our designs. It’s funny to think about what little things can spark your imagination and become your muse, isn’t it?

We’ve gotten quite a few emails asking us to share the recipes from our Valentine’s Day craft party. We’ll put those together over the weekend and post them for you next week.

Have a Happy Weekend!

-Susie & Heidi
