little boy blue

I found Little Boy Blue at the Camberwell Market in a bin of $2 bargains.

He was actually more like Little Boy Grey because the poor love was covered in a thick layer of grime. A little water and a cotton pad cleaned him up nicely and a lightbulb swiped from my sewing machine now illuminates him.

I'd wanted one of these children's nightlights for awhile. They are often really expensive (well, to my skinflint sensibilites anyway). I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an affordably-priced one shaped like a maniacally grinning bear or like Mother Hubbard's shoe-house.

now, see, i was thinking, this is terribly precious and so innocent, so unlike emilykate's menagerie, and then you went and hoped for the maniacally grinning bear.  and the world is right again.

Oh he is lovely! Lucky you! I have wanted one of these for a long time too, but I am still looking. I had a weird grinning lion one when I was a kid, I would to find another like that but I have never seen another one like it.
