Monkey Box (Giveaway)


I found a dozen or so of these Fun little Animals from the 60's, I think. Monkeys, Elephants and Mice. They've been fun to play with on some Valentine themed boxes......

I gave them "eye lashes," in some cases hats or bits of "bling."
(There are a few more at Joyworks, which I forgot to photograph before I took them in.)


This Mouse box has a box ON the Box
(lid comes off for MINI suprise)

I hope you're enjoying your day, whether you go an extra day off or are working! Happy New Year!

Healthy and Prosperous Hugs and a Hearty Bus on the Cheek!

  6. I am not sure whether I wished you a Happy New Year yet. A double one if I have. I love all your things - especially the vintage looking ones.

  7. Is it Topo or Toko Gigio? They are so adorable. I thought about Valentines, laughed about it, forgot about it and took a nap instead.

  9. These are absolutely adorable. Would fit in very nicely with my other animals.

    Thanks for your great note. Much, much appreciated. I am also looking at work possibilities and have started to talk about it. My mother -- who had me at 36, yes ancient in those days -- worked until she was 71. Once I clear away the fear I know there's some great adventures out there.

    Hugs and wishes for a great and exciting year!

  22. You betcha, honey. I would love to have one of those. Thank you so much for your dear, dear comments on my blog. I am sitting in the waiting room at Mayo while Jud gets a liver biopsy (his gift to Mayo-he will never know the results). I keep thinking of a line that was something like, 'Remember, it is not you that heals yourself" and translating, "Remember, it is not you that carries you through." Besides my HP it is my friends and especially my blog friends. I honestly don't know how I would make it through this.
    Thanks a million and a sloppy bus on the cheek!
