Toy Drop in Arcata

A couple of weeks ago I made a couple of new toys. This one is Eunice. She has a striped ribbon for a mouth and I raw-edge appliqued his eyes...part of a Moda fabric...I love the googlily look of Eunice. Doesn't she look like she enjoys a good joke?






















As a member of The Toy Society I wrapped her up with a hand made card and a tag that says, "Take me home! I'm yours." I like to take some colorful fabrics and add them to the tags.





















I put the bag in my car and waited for a good opportunity to leave my toy for a child to find. On Sunday, July 26 I was on the Arcata Plaza in Arcata, CA for a Crafts Faire so about 9:30 I walked about 15 feet from our booth and left "Eunice" on a bench. I took a picture, went back to the booth and a few minutes later I looked back and she was gone! I hope Eunice's new owner likes her as much as I did.

I still think the toy society is such a great thing!
