Travelling toys

We traveled all over the midwest, and into parts of the west and southwestern portions of the U.S., mostly by car. I was a child at the time.

I am still thinking of ways we can have that toy suitcase I mentioned travel and perhaps gather bits of flotsam from those it might deign to be seen out with. It could use a little revamp, perhaps a bit of a 'do. An IUOMA decal or homemade sticker of some sort, perhaps?

I swiped this from a site selling this doll. If it wasn't an exact replica, it at least is quite close in style to the original. Mine had rather a lot of hair, more than I think this one has, and was a confirmed nudist, altho' I was able to cajole it/her into donning a few simple outfits I had fashioned myself.

It would be nice to see your troll doll even if it is only artwork created from the picture no doubt you carry for ever in your mind. To the pens and brushes, artistic friend, we want to see your doll!

I used to take a toy troll on long trips. She (?) had turqouoise blue hair which stood straight up. I kept her in a cake box that had a fitted, sliding lid. I'm sure she suffocated along our journey more than once. 

Her smile never dimmed.

Thanks yes he is adorable I will convey your sentiments to him. And yes I will one day write a book, an artist's book all home made. I need a few parallel lives to do all the interesting things I want to do, though.

That's charming! And Giles is endearingly adorable, not the least bit inanely cute as some stuffies can be made to look.

Ever thought of writing a storybook outlining his adventures/your adventures with him?

I forgot to explain why I started this. Before Giles I did not own any toys since childhood. I bought Giles on impulse and as it was no time to have him wrapped if I was to catch my plane, he came as he was. Everybody that saw him had to smile and be friendly and nobody seemed to think there was anything odd about a grown up woman with a Teddy Bear under her arm and a very embarrased husband by her side.Wherever he goes he makes people smile and I like to see happy people. Once I had an operation and my husband took Giles to see me and left him there. Embarrasing? a bit... I was quite reassured though when the ward began to be filled with fluffy toys, we started a trend. So that's that, folks!

This is Giles whom I met at Edimburgh airport. He has travelled a lot since then. Mostly in Europe  but here he is in Thailand.

And he has done a lot of sailing too, strapped to the bottom of the mast, only in fair weather I'm afraid.

Now he has retired and spends his time in bed. The only exercise he gets is falling off it. The travelling has been delegated to younger members of the fluffy community.But that is another story for later.
