Paper & Assorted Surprising Things
New Mexico, USA
THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

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 growing up. 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.
