This is one of my favorite home office chotchkes– a small metal girl-with-umbrella bookend. I found her at a garage sale, but have absolutely no idea who she is, or where she came from (is she a cartoon character? A company mascot?) I love her sixties look and design, her color palette (turquoise and yellow), and the fact that the whites of her eyes are cut out. She’s only about 5″ tall, so she’s not much of a bookend, but I use her to hold CD jewel cases which she does quite well.

Excellent in every way, shape and umbrella! No idea who she is though.
Love those cut-out eyes.

Reminds me of Pippy Longstocking but who knows, it is pretty fab and your putting her to good use!
