Sock Monkey - Medora Tarricone
NZ $40.00
Sock Monkey [Pronunciation: sok muhng-kee] - where something ordinary becomes something extraordinary.
During the Depression, store bought toys were desirable but unattainable extravagances. Thrifty mothers, accustomed to using materials over & over, refashioned worn socks into various toy creatures for their children to play with. The sock monkey was born!
Each of us is a unique character, made by hand and gifted to humans who eventually come to feel that we are a necessary part of their lives. Often, the devotion bestowed on us surpasses that shown to comfort creatures of more commercial origin. Perhaps humans realise that we are individuals just like they are.
Medora Tarricone is hand crafted from one pair of New Zealand made socks. Her eyes are safe for little people and big people because they attach from inside the sock so present little chance of coming loose. She is stuffed with a mix of fabric off-cuts and acrylic polyfil, but just because her insides are synthetic don’t think she lacks substance!
Care for us
We monkeys love attention. Take us everywhere with you and let us frolic and play freely. We don't mind having a wash when we are dirty but please make it warm & gentle.
Shipping
I will post your items within 24 hours of payment being cleared. If you pay on a weekend I'll post to you on Monday.

Expedient, overnight delivery can be arranged with New Zealand Couriers but it will cost you a little bit more money (usually around $5-$8).
