Restored! Suzy & Pink Elephant

 Before & After: Suzy & Pink Elephant 

Bathed, brushed, and restuffed. A very gratifying transformation---old artificial fabrics don't always brighten up this much.
And I lost one of Pink Elephant's button eyes so looked for a replacement pair--slightly smaller--which I think suit better!

I especially like that Pink Elephant was locally made:


I found the original ad for the sleepy dog, from 1954--her name was Snoozy, but I think she likes Suzy better.
Suzy has a potato-sized rubber squeaker inside.
Weird ad copy:
"Snoozy" gets noisy when you disturb his snooze...
yelps when you pick him up...
yelps no matter how he's touched!

Not sure what to do with these. They came from a friend of a friend, who said she doesn't want them back.
I'm keeping the two bears that came too--Pink Grapefruit & Honey Mustard.
