Today was supposed to be a rainy day but we were actually blessed with some sunshine and a nice breeze. The air had cooled quite a bit from the scorching-for-April near 90 degree weather to a pleasing mid 70s. I guess the crisp air encouraged this little pair to go out for a ride. I discovered them hanging out on my front porch, a popular Whimsy Patch hitching post.
LolliBlue Giraffe comes from the line of Whimsy Giraffes bred and raised for show riding, hence the lovely saddle and that she sports. I discovered she is the sweetest giraffe of all that I have met and she treated me to a smashingly tasty blue raspberry sorbet and ice lemon scone. Yum! She and Amber have grown up together at the Whimsy Giraffe Hills Ranch and have been perfecting their sorbet and scone recipes for years now. LolliBlue told me she might give away her secrets for the scones at least before she heads off to Australia. She's really looking forward to enjoy the outdoors there.
Amber is very sweet also though less outgoing than LolliBlue. She sat quietly while LolliBlue chatted away about her show riding and scone capers. Once LolliBlue had finished her stories, she began to open up a bit and we discussed the particulars of scone baking. She promised some hands-on pointers before she leaves.
LolliBlue and Amber were made as part ofa custom order. The pattern for the Whimsy Giraffe will be available soon seperately or as a set with the Mod Dollie and the Small Whimsy Chap.
LoliBlue and Amber are both so sweet, your tallent is amazing!
