Aren’t these little guys delightful? My friend Debbie made these happy little cork people for my daughters. I had the girls sit and cover their eyes when I gave them each a bag of four. They were super excited when they saw them. The first thing they did was race them across the floor, then they loaded them into Amelia’s little dollhouse. After they calmed down a bit they lined their little cork people up and Abby asked me to take a “family photo.” It’s so wonderful to be the mother of two little girls who LOVE handmade gifts. Thank you so much, Debbie. We have been delighted and entertained by these little cork people.
