Too late

"We're too late."
"We knew it would be tough taking the fawns along, Master Gnome, but hey, it was a nice family trip even if we didn't make it. The thought counts, doesn't it?"

Marsha, they tried to make it in time for your "Style Imitating Art" post, but you know how it is.
"Are we there yet?" "I can't walk anymore." "Can I have an icecream?" "Carry me!"
I wish we'd live closer to each other, we would have had you covered for all your deer needs (even if they are European roe deer).


All roe deer are of course vintage Steiff (no affiliation, I'm just a collector), the gnome was sewn by my deer dear friend Jennifer, I love him so much.

    1. Yes! I had seen one she had made for somebody else and fell in love and she brought this little guy on her next Germany visit. He has been around for many, many years and he likes to ride on other animals, too.

  4. Wow! The work in the gnome is amazing. Such an adorable photo. I didn’t realize there were Steiff deer.

    1. It really is. He's adorable.
      I doubt there's much Steiff hasn't made. Dinosaurs, spiders, snails, camels, kangaroos, dogs, cats, fish, birds, butterflies, monkeys, donkeys, chamaleons, etc. and pretty much everything you can find around a forest, from wolves to squirrels! Okay, there's isn't a Bigfoot as far as I know.
