Margaux: Ever since she was a little creature, Margaux has collected poems, quotes, and favorite book excerpts. She has a file of thousands of them, and she's memorized dozens of her favorites. Whenever she's having a challenge, the 'right' poem or quote pops into her head to help her navigate the situation. Here are two of her favorites:

It’s good to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand. ~Madeleine L’Engle

You’ll see things collapse in your time, the big houses, the empires of glass. The new green things that sprout up through the wreck—those will be yours. ~Barbara Kingsolver

Materials: Margaux is made from a fuzzy and super soft recycled sweater. She has dried beans in her legs and butt to give her some weight and polyfil in the rest of her body. Her eyes are recycled buttons, including a large wooden 'flower button.' Her nose is a recycled plastic bead, and her butt is a recycled metal button. She has metal bells on her ear tips.

Size: Relative to most of my creatures, she is large.In sitting position (butt to ear bend), she is about 6.5 inches tall. About 11.5 inches with legs extended. Arm span of about 7 inches.

Note: She does best when propped up against something.

Shipping: $12 (US shipping only. I currently do not offer international shipping.)
