 I LOVE playing with Pippi!

    There is something  irresistible about her innocence and delight in handling the details of childhood that should be celebrated!   Please meet my newest Pippi.  Her face is inspired by the Swedish actress  Inger Nilsson who portrayed Pippi in the 70's.   ...             One morning the Sun was seeming to say, "AHOY Pippi!  It is a very good time for sailing today!"                 It just so happened that her Sail Boat was all ready to go, on it's Maiden Voyage hoping for ocean breezes to Blow.                Pippi prepared her Traveling Necessities straight away, packing Nilsson in a suitcase, telling the Horse he had to Stay.               Poor Nilsson did not like the water, but Pippi assured him it was fine, he'd be home by evening and tucked into bed by Nine.               So, off they sailed with great expectations awaiting, the South Wind  was gentle while the Sea Waves were abating.               But soon, from the lookout Nilsson spotted Dark Clouds Ahead, he scrambled down quickly and hid in the suitcase instead.               To handle the crisis, Pippi balanced on one striped leg, perched on the baluster like a Seafaring Scallyweg.               She then flapped her arms and blew hard against the Sail, until up and away flew the Ship leaving the Storm in it's Trail !                 Returning  home, the Spotted Horse greeted them at the Gate, saying to Nilsson, " Hey Monkey,  you're Late! ...                 "It's half past Nine and my Hay has run out, You took all the Cookies and left me Without!"                  So, the Tavelors gladly returned to Villa Villekulla's  welcoming Shores,  eating Bologna Sandwiches for dinner and  Chocolate Cookie Smores.                    Drowsie from sea air, Pippi tumbled into her Comfy Old Bed, All three of them fell asleep immediately, very well Fed.                   Just another Pippi Day full of adventure wherever she might Roam... But the best place of all  was Home Sweet Home!           \\\\\\     This Sailing Pippi Set includes...   Pippi Nilsson Sailboat A Wave Display of 4 pieces Hand made Lunchbag Sculpted Bolgna Sandwich and Chocolate Chip Cookie 6 Bluebirds and a Nest with Three Small Eggs         Pippi measures 7 inches    Nilsson is 3 inches   Wrapped coil and wire backbone makes her flexible .
