My little friend...

I'd like to introduce you to my newest little friend. 

Well...he's not completely new, as we've been buddies for many, many years.  Tucked away safely, I do forget about him from time to time, & then I stumble upon this...

Kyle & I celebrated this years Valentine's Day at a local Italian Restaurant, & I was surprised by a sweet heartfelt gift from Kyle.   

I was my little friend! 
He's now more fit as an adult gift, but I still love my original Thumper  :-)    I'm such a softie, I actually cried!  Somethings, no matter how old you get, still hold a lot of sentiment in them.  My dearest Thumper is made from Swarovski Crystal, & his little nose it pink, how cute!

Now, I just need to get working on a curio case to display my treasures...
