Tiny Things
If Julie Andrews were to sing a song about my favorite things they would all be tiny. I have been stashing away tiny things in a tiny box for a long time. When I sift around in my tiny box I can kind of watch myself grow up. Recently, I had a dear friend send me a special package. It was a small Minnie Mouse tin full of tiny things that she had collected as a little girl. What a gift! I totally got misty over that one. So, because someone shared their tiny things with me I felt it was time to share my tiny things with all the Madlove fans out there.
Enclosed, you will find:
1. Golden Tea cup
2. Broken plastic goat
3. Puzzle penguin
4. Grenade pin
5. Pokey (Gumby's sidekick)
6. Small sitting man
7. Ballerina Cupcake topper
8. Plastic heart (my mom put this in my lunch box in 3rd grade)
9. Marble colored like the globe
10. John Deere Tattoo
11. Rubber turtle
12. Pink barrette (this was mine when I was 3)
13. Wool doll mittens with bunnies on them
14. Pink Bambi
15. Fish Barrette
16. State of Illinois medallion with a hologram on it
17. Picture of my great aunt Katherine
18. Rubber Chicken
19. Robot
20. Lucky Pig
21. Ninja
22. Lucky Pig
23. Thunderbirds racing pin
What tiny things do you have in your box?

don't let Paulus see that robot. He loves the bots in a weird and unexplainable way.

Um...looks like a knight to me...but could pass as some sort of Medieval bot. Maybe the knights who say "ni" had robots.
