POCKET FRIENDS

POCKET FRIENDS. Cotton print on one side, velour on

the other, filled with millet. Most about 4" tall. Pooch (dog) 2 1/2".Their tag says,

"Sometimes you just need a friend. . .

Someone to hold on to

who is comforting,

is always nice to you

and asks nothing of you.

This one can go anywhere with you In your pocket."

Pocket People - originally made for being secret comforting friends for children, I soon learned from my child customers that they also frequently play with these little friends in the same way I used to play with dolls - acting out stories with them, moving them around to interact with one another. Pocket people come in both sexes: male and female. You choose. $5. Pocket Friends can of course also be bought as couples or "families"(with a dog) OR with:

NEW! - a baby for the Pocket People! Has attached ribbon loop, which can loop over the head or head and shoulders of a Pocket Person (mom or dad) to hang in back (like a backpack), in front (as in a frontpack),or side. VERY cute. Designed by my almost 12 year old granddaughter JLynn. $5.

Pocket Pooches - nice in all prints, but most popular in checks and plaids, when they look rather 1940s and 50s. $5

Pocket Angels - an especially nice gift for people of all ages who might appreciate a small guardian angel, or a reminder that they might well have a larger guardian angel. $6

Pocket Turtles - an especial favorite of little boys, which I find amusing because it's a traditional tale that boys carry (real) turtles in their pockets. $5

Pocket Bunnies - (no photo) - somehow humorous - perhaps because their feet turn out? $6
