Real quick last post of the day...I saw Thumbelina this weekend -- the world's wee-est horse! She's only 60 pounds and apparently likes to sleep -- probably because she had kids (um, and grown-ups... guilty) gaping, hemming and hawing at her all day on Saturday, when I saw her at the Natural History Museum's opening day celebration of their new exhibit, The Horse."
Apparently she travels around in the "Thumby-mobile," visiting sick kids and melting hearts in her wake with her freakishly adorable teensy stature. She's only about a foot high! Eeee!
Sadly, I didn't get to see her for long, because I was surrounded by pushy children and even pushier prototypical New Yorky parents, and I felt bad for her (the horse, that is), so I snapped the above pic and scurried away, but her sweet, sleeping mini-horseness will live on in my heart forever.
To commemorate her, check out this horse necklace:

Sweet, and cute, like Thumby herself. Won't somebody think of the kids -- i.e. me -- and get me this? Please? I barely even got to see Thumbelina!!!

And, sorry to OT for a second, but I also love this one:

Inspiration is everywhere isn't it? I love the necklace you posted.
This was a fun blog entry! I enjoyed reading it a lot.
Okay, I'm going to sound strange but I have to ask you, how was the exhibit? I just heard about it a week ago and I want to know if it's worth planning a trip to NYC around?(the trip itself would be worth it to me of course)I like the Itchome dresses you posted below too!
Pam:
The exhibit alone is definitely not worth a trip to NYC. It's a very basic overview and more geared toward kids.
I love that Thumby! She's so cute.
like the tee!
I want a tiny horse of my own.
Thank you so much for the mention. I read your blog all the time so how happy am I to have seen you mentioned us!
