This personal treasure is a possum made just for me by Kristy Taylor of Mini Minagerie.  She cleverly, and delightlfully combined three recent events in my life. The first was a sad story involving four young possums under my deck. The next was the loss of my mother, Virginia, followed quickly by my plants being featured in the September 2009 issue of American Miniaturist, which happens to be the very issue 'Ginny', my Mom's nickname, is reading! Kristy has a wonderful talent of making the small, unusual animals of the wild into sweet-faced lovable characters with individual personalities that will warm your heart.
