Emma Alpaca

[Feederofthepack]

While shopping the Goodwill store's toy bin for cheap dog toys I found a little brown alpaca named Emma! I had to rescue her and bring her home to a yarn-loving house! Here she is sunning in the flower bed. She's such a good girl, she hasn't nibbled a single flower!

Oh! What a sweet little alpaca. I'm glad she's well behaved.

Emma looks adorable. But I think I see a little twinkle in her eyes!. She might have some mischief in her also! Tell us how she settles in!

AWW! Is she a specific type of beanie baby? I'd love to look for one!

[Feederofthepack]

She still had a tag that said "made by Bonnie Torrey for the Heidi Bacon collection" It had a web site listed but it no longer exhists.

Hi! I'm Heidi Bacon and I designed and made the beanie alpaca that you call Emma. I used to live near Greeley, CO raising alpacas on a small farm - what a great community of friends out there! Lots of creative people and I had friends who would sew/knit the beanies & hats & sweaters I designed which I sold at shows and online plus imported sweaters & teddy bears. I also had other paintings of alpacas that I put on t-shirts, mouse pads, mugs, totebags, etc. Nine years ago I moved to a small "Mayberry" type of town in Kansas and ended up doing something different. I'm a Realtor now and also a filmmaker working on a documentary about immigration called UNWANTED - you can watch the trailer at http://www.baconfilms.com If you want to reach me, try heidibacon@classicnet.net

 

I was very pleased to see how you've rescued Emma and have given her a better home. Tell her hello from me and have a great day!

Me too!!! Where is Emma?!?!?!

[alibra]

Sorry can't see the picture either!

[losingmymind2]

Oh no, don't tell me Emma was afraid of Immigration finding her...I'm SURE she's legal, being born in the USA and all...(thinking of the movie Born in East LA)

I can't see the pic for some reason! A friend of mine used to raise alpaca's, they are the cutes things you ever saw! Great big eyes!

Here she is. I had cleaned out my Photobucket of old pictures but she's back now! Heidi, it's good to hear from Emma's "Mom"! I figured I'd someday find out where she came from. She now lives in my yarn basket safely tucked away from the pack of greyhounds that are usually draped across the floor and couch. But she's always close by for inspiration. She's kind of my mascot! She is in good condition in spite of being abandonded to the toy bin at Goodwill.

She's adorable!!!!
