You can barely go anywhere these days without seeing a plushie or softie roaming about. Some are cheap and cheerful and mass produced in China and others have been painstakingly handcrafted. I've always taken an interest in these as I use to make small dolls and toys when I was only seven or eight. There are some gorgeous ones made here in NZ but I've been particularly drawn to the quirky dolls of Filomena Carmo Pinto from Portugal (see her blog Filomenacarmopinto.blogspot.com.)
