We interrupt the posts on my holiday up North to introduce a new member of our household! If you have seen this post, and this one, you would know that Moomin holds a special place in my heart. My best friend K (who can read my thoughts, make me smile, know exactly what bag I will like, and other such best-friend-ish talents) brought him back for me from a recent trip to Hong Kong (the biscuits in the background are Moomin biscuits also from K...double hooray!).
I know...Moomin comes from Finland, not Hong Kong, but I’ll have you know that he holidays in Asia quite often.
If you have your own unexplainable love for cute, inanimate objects such as cartoon characters and children’s toys then you know, and perhaps share, my joy. If you don’t, no fear, this will be short and the regular agenda back shortly.
Hoooraaaay! Thank you K!!! I love him :)
And that’s not all he can do…
You cannot imagine how brilliantly invigorating it is to see a light-up, color-changing Moomin after a stressful day at work. When the yoke of the daily grind bears heavy, be thankful if you are (like me) the type that smiles at small pleasures…you’ll never be down for long :)

Hi Tiny Mango! So nice to see another person who loves Moomins :) Even though they are “trolls”, they differ greatly from the usual darker version of trolls :)
Thanks Sakai!
Thank you Rosa :)

Thanks Simplepleasures! :)
Hi Gattina! Hope to see that! :)
Hi Toni! He really is an endearing character..especially when you get to know him :)
Hi Joey,
read most of the Moomin books when I was a kid (mum would pick out books randomly at children's book fairs for me!!), and they have a very special place in my literary history. Have you read another of Jansson's books, "The Summer Book"? It's magical.
Hi Ling! I wish I had met the moomins when I was younger...yes, they are special books indeed and I think Jansson's storytelling is brilliant! I have heard of the Summer Book but unfortunately cannot find a copy over here...I'll keep my eyes open in book fairs and sales though!
http://en.moominvalleyshop.com sells some books and roommates. :)
Thanks for the link Jess! :)
Yay! This is just so adorable even with the lights off.
