I am a little late in posting my birthday gifts from last year, but it doesn't mean I love them less. My birthday is in the fall, so my dear hedgehog friend from Kansas spoiled me with a collection of fall hedgehogs. Starting from the top left, There is a cute little pot hanger looking at a wonderful birthday card that she wrote for me. The precious little hedgehog with a pumpkin is made by Ganz. Each seasonal hedgehog comes with a poem!
There is also a group of adorable, colorful items from artist Emma Ball in the UK: a magnet, a bookmark, and a microfiber cloth. So sweet!
Keeping watch over the gifts is a lovely tin hedgehog plant stick. A very curious thing is that the hedgehog-print oven mitt is from Nordic Dreams and made in Lithuania, but purchased in Minnesota. I was in Lithuania last summer and found the same pattern!

A longtime friend surprised me with this printed bag which she bought in Dubrovnik. It is a picture from a famous, old Croatian children's book about a hedgehog and his home. You can find it in Croatian and also translated to English, but it's not the same artwork. Surprisingly, I was in Dubrovnik last spring! Sitting on the cloth bag is a pretty hedgehog ornament from my son and his wife. It looked good on the Christmas tree this year.

Last, but not least, is this colorful Swedish dishcloth from Ecologie. Another longtime friend thought of me when she saw this cloth. It's great to have thoughtful friends!
