A new (old) toy!

This marionette used to be mine when I was little. I think my parents got it for me on our trip to Disney World. It always hung on a hook from the ceiling in my room growing up. I loved this giraffe!!
I pulled it out of the garage a few months ago and my heart melted when I saw it! It brought back some great memories. It was in pretty rough shape. The eyes were yellowed and the white mane was yellow. The fabric for the giraffe's neck and legs was a plaid pastel color. It was really cute, but I decided to redo the whole thing so it would match Reese's room. New eyes, a new scruffy mane, new fabric, and new strings! It looks like a brand new toy again! Ava and Reese love it!! :)
