Topic: FAMILY
When I was a little girl in California my mother would go to the bank and would allow me to visit a toy store across the street called ARNIE'S TOYLAND it was owned by a really beautiful lady named Flora. I remember that the store had Mattel toys, but most of my family worked for the company so Barbies and board games didn't appeal to me. Arnie's had large glass display cases with Dollhouses and dolls made by artists and my mother knew that I wanted something from the GLASS DISPLAY ISLE. I woke up one Christmas to find a dollhouse and a mouse family from Arnies Toyland. The mice were made from real fur by a company called Original Fur Toys in West Germany. I don't know what happened to them as I got older, but I do know that the mice are pretty tough to win on Ebay because collectors are bidding on them left and right.
I have always thought of recreating the mice I had using faux fur. I will have to put it on my to do list. :}
