The cutest elves ever
by chuckofish
We had a set of these when I was growing up and I spent hours playing with them every December. A couple of years ago I started searching on ebay for a set of my own and after months of outrageously competitive bidding and many disappointments, I finally procured my very own sweet elves. I just love them. I know they are only cardboard and pipe-cleaner, post WWII Japanese made, but somehow these little guys just make me happy. I got them out today and wanted to share… Don’t you wish you had some?


I do!!
I think they’re great. And post-war japanese cardboard/pipe-cleaner deco’s seem to last MUCH longer than the crap-ola they sell these days… Tres chic. In a sense…
I have been scouring ebay for some ever since you told me you got some. Who knew Dual Personalities are so competitive!
