Paper & Assorted Surprising Things
New Mexico, USA
THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!
There's video of the unwrapping too! Joy grenade!

One day Ming, mentioned Gina, her mother’s friend to me when she was describing this really cool thing called a Surprise Ball that Gina had made for her and her brother when Ming was a kid. Surprise Ball? What is that? After a few weeks Gina wrote she had sent Ming and I a package, a Surprise Ball each. You know I look at A LOT of stuff all the time but this was REALLY cool, like goo-goo eyes, Whoaness. I asked Gina about them, she summed it up so well I have to quote her here: “From as far back as I can remember, be it a ring from a gumball vending machine, a Cracker Jack prize, the thrill of a piñata, Christmas stocking treats, I have always been drawn to small things. The desire to include items that are ephemeral, whimsical, charming and/or amusing set mine apart from others - this is what I hope. It’s the quality of the goods (and sometimes rarity) that matters...for some it may be hard to open (and I kind of like that) but people are never disappointed by what they find inside.” Have fun opening it and finding a minimum of 15 surprises that are inside! Every object is a rare thing, mostly vintage trinkets from all over the world.
