Some of my favorite lines from The Velveteen Rabbit. How wonderful that Foxie can live them everyday!
Beautiful quote. I love how the pink hair is just hanging on by a thread :-).
Diana you seem to find exactly the right words for each situation. I love the pictures and how the troll dolls are such good companions to Foxie and some of the other chimps as well.
That is a well loved and very real troll doll. Foxie has made her beautiful! And Foxie is beautiful too!
Diana, How beautifully said and how touching are the photos of Foxie, free of her demons and enjoying the hill with her loved and treasured troll doll. What could be better? Nothing!
