Juliane heeft op haar blog een
give-away. Over verloren en gevonden poppen. Voor een plaats in haar e-class.
En dat wil ik! Zo graag!!
En ik heb een heel goed verloren-en weer gevonden- verhaal te vertellen!
Leest u mee?
She's a white seagull. Her name is 'Ottertje'. Like the fish-eating mammals. But I named her after the poem from
Annie M.G. Schmidt about three old otters.
When my twin sister and I were born, we participated in a research on twins. It was done by two medical students. They both gave us a pluche toy.I don't remember what my sister got. But I got Ottertje.
My bed was loaded with dolls and pluche, but Ottertje was the one I slept with. She even slept in my shirt, close to my chest. Even when I was a student Ottertje slept in my bed.
On the 4th of October 1986, I was 6 years old, we all got to bring our stuffed animal to school as it was World Animal Day. Of course I brought Ottertje. That day there was a big bus with people from
WWF that taught us about wildlife and animals. I remember you could smell a whale through some kind of box. That smell!!
At the end of the day I went to bed missing Ottertje: I forgot her at school. The next day we searched the whole school, but it turned out that Ottertje went in the
WWF-bus. They had more stuffed animals as educational material, Ottertje probably fitted in with the rest.
So. That was it.
But not for my super-hero-eleven-years-older brother: he called
WWF in the Netherlands, tracking down where the education-bus would stop next. Imagine a six year old: it took ages, my brother made about a hundred calls and Ottertje travelled the whole country. But I got her back!
So. That was it.
(Unfortunately I don't have any pictures of Ottertje to show you: I'm still busy emigrating & my pictures and Ottertje are still in the Netherlands... I made my own impression though. I think it resembles her well :) I also included our birth announcement, made by the super-hero-eleven-years-older brother.)
Puur Speelgoed bestaat 3 jaar. En daarom schreven ze een wedstrijd uit: wat er nog miste in hun assortiment. De winnaar is inmiddels bekend, maar er is nog veel meer moois bijgekomen.
Wauw!
Onze internetverbinding is nogal slecht hier, maar vreemd genoeg lukt het wel om blogger-sites te bekijken. En nu heb ik er dus een verslaving bij: Scandinavische blogs. Wat zijn die leuk & mooi & kleurrijk. 
Al denken wij dat we Isis (en onszelf) een mooie ervaring meegeven door te verhuizen naar zo'n internationaal land, Isis stond niet te springen...
Isis nam afscheid op haar crèche. En aangezien het een geweldige crèche is... en ze met een klein groepje kinderen zijn durfde ik het wel aan iets zelf te maken :) 
Etsy, maar dan anders. Misschien zelfs beter. Kan dat?
