Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Little My

Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Misan had an excellent weekend. We’re all exhausted, though, so the scavenger reports will have to wait until tomorrow. We may still have another pickup to do in Connecticut tonight for some special goodies. Coffee, please!

(The Moomin dolls are my mother’s, not mine—I can’t get her to give them up! Aren’t they wonderful? I’m posting their picture because today is my beautiful mother’s birthday. Happy birthday, Mommy…I miss you!)

    The dolls are really cute, but are you sure that is Little My? She looks so sad and worried, maybe it’s her big sister Mymlan? Or Misan?

    Adam, she must have bought them in Sweden…probably close to 40 years ago! Here’s a closer photo of Moomintroll’s nose, I think it’s made from very thin leather stretched over a gourd:
