Thankful Thursday
I was reading Shug's blog post this morning. She was talking about April Showers and that made me think about a figurine that I have and cherish so much.
It is titled "April Showers". The figurine is the very First of the Walt Disney Classics Collection.
" Until a character becomes a personality, it cannot be believed, " Walt Disney once said. "And without personality, a story cannot ring true to an audience"
The whole Classics Collection was created to capture the beloved characters and timeless moments from The Classic Disney films in beautifully crafted sculptures.
My sweet little mouse is from "Bambi" and the movie scene "April Showers". Suzanne Lee created this sculpture way back in the early 1990's. It was the first of many challenges to sculpt something so delicate like the rain drop starting to fall into the mouses' hands but not touching.
When I look at this piece I can hear in my mind the song from the movie about the dripping of the rain showers. "Little April Showers" ...
This figure sits proudly in our curio cabinet for me to enjoy.
I am thankful for our Treasures and for the April Showers we experienced over the last 2 days.
Everything is bright and shiny after the rain and now the sun is adding to the sparkle of Thankful Thursday.
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

He is very cute - are you saying he was from the movie Bambi? Adorable.
That is so sweet! It really is a charming figurine and it's timeless.
This is the cutest. I've not ever seen one before and I can assure that if I had, I would have bought one. My mom always loved figurines and she too would have loved this one. Even the tiniest things can bring such joy to our hearts, be it a figurine or April rain showers. Loved this post..

Oh, this is so sweet! I've never seen that before. I love it. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is precious!! Happy to hear you've had rain. We might get a little shower here tonight and more this week...praying!!!
It is adorable, and there are even reflections in the raindrop.
That is a sweet figurine! I have a curio cabinet and enjoy collecting this and that! lol Thank you for linking up.
Adorable! I'm not familiar with the song, but your words make me think I can smell the aroma of a new rainfall.
I LOVE IT! I am from a family of Disney lovers, so this spoke to me right away, How special that this figurine is the very first of the Walt Disney Classics Collection. I'm glad you got some rain. It cleans everything and makes it fresh again. We also got rain yesterday and the day before. California sure smiles when rain falls from the skies. : ) This is a sweet Thankful Thursday post.
What a gorgeous figurine. the mouse is so cute and the raindrop amazing. Happy Easter.
What a sweet figurine. Love it.
the mouse is adorable, the raindrop is gorgeous. we had a spring pour down, about 30 minutes of wind , thunder and flash bangs and 2 wonderful inches of rain. we are so dry the run off ran through our garage, to dry to sink in
I'm not familiar with this collection, but the figurine is beautiful. It looks delicate.
That is so sweet and also, he's the reason I draw stick figure cartoons. When I was a kid I saw a big book of his on display and LOVED it.
That is so sweet and adorable. How nice that you have it.
We have small collection of Boyd's Bears and at east 1 Disney figurine. This one would be a nice addition. We have never collected Disney memorabilia.
