Teeny Tiny

My dear friend and pen pal Natalie recently went to Ecuador. She wrote me a beautiful letter about her adventures and included some incredible pictures, including one of some butterflies that I honestly thought were fancy hair combs someone had for some reason dropped on the ground. I'm a bit slow sometimes.

Anyway, inside the envelope there were also these wee folks:


Look how tiny! They are about an inch tall. They look like worry dolls, but they don't seem to be worrying. I like them. I'm going to put them with my little alpaca (who is the size of a skyscraper to them, but whatever) and it will be my Very Small Exhibit of Very Small Things From and/or Relating to South America.

i have the habit of taking a look at your blog now and then - i feel very honoured that my tiny gift inspired an entry! they do look lovely in the picture and i'm sure they'll live happily ever after with your alpaca...

In response to your first comment: I love them! Thank you!

And the second: I have no idea. It just happened. I think I saw one at HF's Festival on the Green and it was so cute and weird I developed an instant obsession.
