Have just been having a cup of tea and reading some of my friend's blogs, and came upon a post from Kirsty at Kirsty's Cottage Industries which has inspired me to write something... about moles!I love moles, always have. Think they are such curious, lovely little creatures. And when I was a little girl I used to collect them - little toys, pictures, ornaments and things. Anyway, imagine my delight when Moulin Roty introduced two new members of La Grande Famille this year - and one of them is a mole! You can see her in the picture - she is called Apolline and is wearing a pretty dress. I love her big paws!
Before I go, here is a Beatrix Potter poem about moles - 34 years old and I still know it off by heart!

Apolline is adorable! That rhyme is very cute too, I must tell it to my girlies.
I'm really glad you've just been busy, I do notice when you go quiet! AS long as you don't think I'm an interfering pain in the bum ;)
You definitely should get some hundreds and thousands, they're great fun! Though ours were meant to be gently sprinkled but instead she just poured about half a pot on, hee hee!

Ah thanks for the mention hun!
I think moles have great character too, very endearing little creatures. It was quite amazing too look at one so closely.
I agree with Mel, Apolline is so lovely. At 4 and 5 my girls are just getting past the soft toy stage-such a shame as i just love the moulin roty things! They're expecting a step brother or sister any day though so i may indulge in a little gift shopping!

moles are so cute, what a gorgeous post, I’m going to read that again!
If you do order a cami you might be best to order a size smaller as they do come up a bit bigger.

We do get the odd mole in our garden, which drives my husband crazy, but I think they are adorable! Just like the rabbits who eat all our veg and sweetpeas!
There is an award waiting for you on my blog...
