Myrtle: Myrtle is a nocturnal creature who lives in a deep forest. And, being an extrovert, she is fortunate that there are many other late-night critters to hang out with. The raccoons can be fun as they like to play poker and gossip about the feral cats. The moles tend to keep to themselves, but will occassionally invite her to a midnight tea. The majority of coyotes are just plain rude (one made fun of her teeth!), but she did befriend one named Randy. He lets her ride on his back as he moves through the dark fields; if he runs, she yells Yee-Haw imagining herself as a little blue cowgirl. But her favorite adventure-buddy is Rat. He has a wicked sense of humor, can often find tasty morsels of food in unexpected places, and always finds strange new places to explore. Life is good.
Materials: Myrtle is made from a recycled sweater. She is filled with dried beans (to give her some weight) and polyfil. Her eyes are scrappy recycled buttons. She has a small metal nose and her butt is a vintage button. She has metal bells on her ear tips and beads for teeth.
Size: In sitting position (butt to ear tips), she is 5 inches tall. 11 inches with legs extended. Arm span of 7.5 inches.
Shipping (US only): $8 for USPS Ground or $13 for USPS Priority. Priority shipping is the default. If you prefer Ground, make a note in the provided box when you order and I'll refund the shipping difference within 24 hours. Both Ground and Priority include a tracking number.
Additional Shipping Info: I take creatures to the post office on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (If you order on a Tuesday or Thursday, it's possible your order will go out the following Tuesday or Thursday.) I currently do not offer international shipping; above prices are for shipping within the US.
Please note: Because creatures have small parts that could pose a choking hazard, they should be kept away from small children and pets. And, while I pride myself on their quality, they are handmade and designed to sit next to your computer or on your nightstand. They’re not for young kids or rough-and-tumble play. Please look at the size dimensions of a creature before you order as photos may make them seem smaller or larger than they actually are. Each creature comes with a printed copy of their story. Thanks for looking!
Anne's creatures are silly, weird, and awesome. Each one has a unique personality and just wants to love and be loved.
The superfluous is the most necessary.
