There is something a little bit Heath Robinson about the second one? I love those shiny chubby cheeks!
She has such a unique style. I could have bought her easel a few years ago but turned it down on cost. Regret,
Another one of my favorites, she has such a lovely line.
I had a big collection of her postcards at one time but got an offer I couldn't refuse. She always makes me smile (like Garfield and Marmeduke!)
