Description
This is a set of three felted wool Christmas decorations, each a little mouse in a chef's hat with its own outfit and kitchen prop. One wears a dress with three buttons and a frilled check hem and carries a tiny pan; one wears a check apron with a spotted pocket and carries a small tray; the third wears dungarees with check cuffs and holds a gingerbread figure. The bodies are 100% wool with a 100% polyester filling, and each mouse measures 10cm long, 5cm wide and 13cm tall, a good size for a tree branch.
Each mouse has a string hanging loop at the top of its hat, so the natural home is the Christmas tree, where three related characters spaced around the branches give it a gentle theme. They work just as well away from the tree: tied to a door handle, hung along a mantelpiece garland or clustered in a vase of bare twigs on a kitchen windowsill, where their chef's outfits feel at home. Because they come as three, they also make an easy present for a keen baker, or a first handful of decorations for a new home.
The finish is felted, which gives the wool its slightly fuzzy, matt surface. Felted wool is dense and soft to the touch, and it holds fine detail well, which is why the small faces, rounded ears and little props keep their character. The weight given is 0.036KG, so these are light pieces for the tree. The three come packed together in a box with a clear front, handy for putting them away when the decorations come down. For styling, hang them on the outer branches at eye level, where their faces can be seen, and let the beige tones sit among natural ornaments and simple glass baubles.
