This sweet baby bear is so helpful, telling you what time it is! And such a pretty coat, such lovely grain.

Horse, don't look so forlorn. You're going to look so good on my bedside table! Most fashionable horse in my whole house!

This cake makes me think of the book "Afternoon of the Elves" by Janet Talyor Lisle which I read when I was only 11. It's reminiscent of a girl in boots that are too big who spends all her time building houses for elves out of leaves in her back yard. But now she's all grown up and getting married to an equally elvin man and they are having a simple barefoot wedding in the woods.
