🚨 POSSUM EMERGENCY ALERT 🚨 We need to talk. Ever 🚨 POSSUM EMERGENCY ALERT 🚨

We need to talk.

Every single crochet possum Nicole has brought us has vanished faster than free snacks at a vendor setup. One day. Maybe two. Gone. Tiny marsupial tumbleweeds. 🥲

But THIS batch?
They’re… still here.
Both the little stuffie AND the purse.
Just sitting in the shop looking emotionally available.

So now we have questions.

Did society heal?
Did everyone suddenly become too dignified for possums?
Did the feral whimsy leave your body?

Because look at these little faces. One has a purse tail. ONE HAS FEET. 😭

Handmade by Nicole and absurdly cute in that “found in a cottage owned by a cryptid auntie” kind of way.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting a possum friend, this is your sign before somebody else scoops them up and we’re back to possum drought conditions.
