Last but not least, we have Felicia Hoshino, the author and illustrated of my beloved Sora and the Cloud, who offers to draw a portrait of your little loved one.
She also offers website banners, which I covet very very badly.
Which of these do you want? Do you have any other ideas of gifts for picture book fanatics?
OMG I want it alllllllllll
ReplyDeleteYes me too! This is a problem. :)
DeleteThat ring is precious!
ReplyDeleteWell, now I'm going to have to follow Felicia's blog (and dream of buying a website banner too ;p )
ReplyDeleteVery cool ideas with the puzzle and board game.
Is it just me or do the Little Red Riding Hood earrings look very Red Knit Cap Girl inspired? Is that part of the reason for your want of them?
Oh I can see that now, so maybe it was a subconscious decision. I love kerchiefs. ;)
DeleteRed knit girl!!! So cute. And those earings too :)
