Toy Society Drop

This morning at 6.30am I did my first toy drop for The Toy Society. The Toy Society is a world-wide collective of toy makers – of varying skill levels– who make toys and leave them as gifts for perfect strangers.
Hopefully somebody will discover this sweet chick and make it a part of their home.

When I went past at 9.30am, on the way for my morning coffee, it was still there. Fingers crossed it's found it's way into a pair of warm little hands by now.

I first heard about The Toy Society 3 years ago when I was living in Sydney and fortunate enough to meet with a number of crafty Sydney bloggers for dinner, on occasion. Being a new mum, in a new city, with a 4 month old baby I was a little well.... quite overwhelmed. I was totally in awe of these incredibly productive and prolific crafters (Floating World, Tuttie Fruttie, My Art is my Outlet, Taylor Street, Sadie and Lance...to name a few). One of these ladies was the founder of The Toy Society and I just loved the idea pf making something handmade and leaving it for a perfect stranger, no questions asked.

It's taken a considerable amount of downtime and a name change to find my feet and develop some momentum with crafting, blogging...& let's face it, at times, my role in mothering. This week, for me, has been about stepping back into the past and realising just how grateful I am to be right here in the present.

It's feels kind of timely that I offer this wee chick out to the unknown in deep gratitude. xox
