I had no idea such figurines could look so similar - like they're all part of the same concept. *going to take a look at the flickr attic additions*Betahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618328178283196044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21171856.post-1147312344981640082006-05-11T03:52:00.000+02:002006-05-11T03:52:00.000+02:00Love the note!
