kokeshis & sunlight


It seems that everything has its day in the sun - including my little kokeshis. 
I managed to capture this little sunshine moment the other day - in between the clouds, the grey and the rain.
I think you have to do that don't you...seize those moments!
Like many of my little collections, the kokeshis are something that the girls and I take great delight in.
We search them out together, and Milly especially treats them almost as family.
Brunnel doesn't get it.
Many of our little dolls are tiny. He doesn't notice them, tucked as they are, here, there and everywhere.
However these two are, as you can see, quite large.
He literally fell over the biggest one day and stubbed his toe.
I can't repeat his actual words, but translated, roughly, something along the lines of 'what kind of nutter collects all this rubbish and puts it in such a dumb place'.
Your wife, that's who darling!
I guess it was rather like dropping a large log of wood on your toe, but frankly, the girls and I were more concerned that the kokeshi was unscathed.
Ah yes, a sunshine moment!

  1. Ha! Men and women are just so different! What makes total sense to us makes no sense to them. What a lovely collection, you'll have to do a group shot when I get Bits and bobs up and happening.

  2. It's a beautiful photograph, exuding such restfulness. Could Brunnel be sent on a niceties-of-life awareness weekend?

  5. You always make me laugh Amanda. My hubby could relate to Brunnel, he has to share our home with four females. He still doesn't understand why I love my 50cm tall hot pink deer, but has come to accept the pair of smaller yellow deer. Love your Kokeshi dolls. x
