Kay Bojesen Dog Little Tim, Denmark

This is Kay Bojesen's "Little Tim". No longer in production. Each turn of his head brings a new expression. I was lucky enough to buy him whilst trawling ebay, listed only as "wood dog". The postage cost to Australia was greater than the sale! A real bargain!!! Judging by auction results he is rare [and valuable]. Tim's friend "Plet"[Spot] sold at lauritz.com for nearly EUR 700. Not too valuable for the kids to play with though. Kay Bojesen would want his dog to be played with.

Kay Bojesen Bear, Denmark

This Kay Bojesen bear was found for a few dollars at our local op shop. We loved him, googled "Kay Bojesen" and we had to find him some friends. His Danish friends have not been as cheap but hunting for Bojesen  bargains has been fun.

Kay Bojesen Monkey, Denmark

A design classic.

A few years ago I purchased this vintage Bojesen monkey for my wife on ebay at a good price but in pieces and without hands. I emailed Rosendahl asking if they could supply me with some new hands. Not only did they have them available, they arranged to have the hands and some spare parts delivered to my door at no cost. From Denmark to Australia. What incredible customer service!
