Love at first sight...introducing Pinto...

Buddha Bear extraordinaire made by the talented Peng Peng...

and won by me in her very generous blog giveaway. ( I never win anything so I am still in a state of shock.)

Let me start by saying Pinto is so wonderful that I am at a loss for words. Pinto is so well-made, so whimsical , so cute! I cried... and then smiled... when I opened the box.

For many, may years I have been a fan of Peng Peng and her bears and her sock monkeys. Her web site has been a link on the side here since I started this blog.


Peng Peng also has an Etsy shop and has been on HGTV.

Peng Peng, I cannot thank you enough. Pinto is so dear! Pinto will be treasured forever and fit right in here with plenty of "playmates" for company. But, for now, I don't think Pinto will leave my side......truly, it is love at first sight.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Hah hah, PINTO- what a perfect name for such an endearing little fellow! Truly Pinto and my Lili (Also a delightful Peng Peng Bear) will HAVE to meet! You talk about love at first sight...I KNOW that's how it would be for them! I am so thrilled for you, Helen! Now I can't wait to see what all Pinto will be discovering in the next few weeks.....

Pinto is darling, and Peng Peng's work is fabulous. I'm surpised Earthangels hasn't yet added her to their roster. But then, maybe they tried. (Gulp, maybe she's already there...) Fabulous!

Zwee!!!!!!
