(And here I thought I was so original with my little squirrels! LOL! :P)
Some of these vintage little cuties go for big bucks now days at auctions and on ebay. I have some vintage Steiff but would love to add more to my collection!

Vintage Inspiration
As all of you probably well know, I make all my little animals by fashioning them out of a simple yarn pom poms. I wanted to share with you some vintage little pom pom animals that were made by a german toy company, Steiff back in the 50's and 60's. I find these tiny little guys to be so adorable!
