I'm Joyce's Daughter and have enjoyed Mom's WFF collection for many years.
Unsure where she first discovered WFF, but I think it was a gift shop in Colorado in the late 70s.
Over time, she amassed a large collection - over 150 - and LOVED each and every one.
Dad made a beautiful display case for them so they could be admired. (Always a non-smoking home.)
Mom proudly showed them off to visitors!
Though she had a severe stroke 20 years ago, she continued on best she could and always had a smile when we presented her with a new addition to her beloved collection. And another smaller case in which to display them. ;)
Mom became very ill after Hurricane Harvey and was called Home to Heaven in July this year.
We carefully transported the WFF and I have her collection here in TN. They are wonderful but I'm thinking other avid collectors might enjoy them more than me. But, I'm keeping a few pieces because she loved them so. :)
Hopefully over the next few weeks I'll get them all posted. Since most don't have names on the bottom, it's a painstaking process to figure out the numbers and names.
If you have something you're looking for, if you could let me know the number and/or a photo - I can see if we have it.
If you purchase several pieces, there will only be one shipping charge, and it'll be the actual cost of shipping. I'll pack them well (I asked one of the gift shops how they pack them to be sure I do it correctly) and insure them.
I will take a check but it will have to clear before sending. Or you could pay through Paypal to ksf895@citlink.net
As far as pricing, I'll entertain any fair offers.
The Holidays are coming and there are many other occasions for gifting WFF, as you well know.
Happy shopping!
I'm going to try and send two photos first - one of the case Dad made, full of the wee mousies, and the smaller glass/brass case with even more mousies...
Mom will be thrilled to know each one is going to a good home.
Thanks so much!

How much for Moon Mouse?
What color is Chris-Mouse?
What color is Collector Mouse?

Thanks much!

Hi MJ!
Thanks for your inquiry!
Yes - all these are still available. YAY! I've listed a few on eBay, but they are mostly Hallowe'en, though one lot is "fall" theme.
I'll make up the list and get the info you requested by tomorrow afternoon.
Mom would be so happy to know someone would like to give her mousies a great home! :)

Hi again, MJ.
Here is the info, with photos I hope! We'll see. :o
Collector Mouse EV-1998 - already on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-of-4-Wee-Forest-Folk-MS16-Camping-Out-PM2-Waterbugs-EV1998-WFF-1-box/323474540144 You could bid though! It's a nice lot and there are not many bidders so far.
Moon Mouse M-078 - None listed on eBay or Amazon. Also checked already closed auctions and/or Buy it now on eBay - no listings. Don't see M078 Moon Mouse on a search of the Internet, other than here. Might've missed it.
*** Perhaps a better question is, what do you believe is a fair price? I don't know if people just hang on to these or if it's rare - because I can't find it anywhere, so far.
Merry Chris-Mouse M-091 - Boy mouse in red PJs with striped package on ceramic "hooked rug" base
Mom wrote in pen on the bottom "Vail '86" which is where she received it for Christmas! One of the few she wrote on. It's not obtrusive, but it's there. Might be neat to know where it was purchased! Up to you.
Merry Chris-Miss M-090 - Girl mouse in white sleeper, holding red stocking next to gray toy mouse on wheels, ceramic "hooked rug" base
Sunday Drivers M-132 - Boy mouse in gray sleeves, girl mouse in white with yellow purse riding in red convertible, tan (earlier) or black fenders. Mom's has TAN fenders, so it's an earlier one.
Polly's Parasol M-170 - Girl mouse holding parasol and white basket, wearing pink dress and white cap with pink bow. On pink roses/green leaves base.
I'm NOT an expert, but they all seem in mint condition, with the exception of the writing on the bottom of M-091
-
I'd include 3 boxes if you buy all of them.
-
Hopefully you can see the handwriting on the base.
It's unobtrusive (I think) but - again - I'm not an expert.
It's there, so wanted you to know.
:)
Let me know where to go from here.
Again, MJ
Very much appreciate your interest.
-
I'm selling most of them on eBay - going at GREAT prices at this point - for the buyers.
Please check them out.
Selling a RARE WFF - Grandpa Frog - mint condition - in colors that I did not find on the Master List here, plus a card with a poem by Annette Petersen.
They're listed under the seller name Arabbon so please stop by and have a look!
Thanks!

Hello- I am new to the WFFCC. I am interested in purchasing Chief Geronimouse and Running Doe. Do you still have them available? If so how do I make a purchase?
-
Hey Sprilly - I'm SO sorry - but they sold.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/323522551448
The same buyer bought the Thanksgiving lot also - 3 of them.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/323522505306
Some lots have sold for quite a bit, others not so much.
You'll just have to look.
I'll be posting another batch just after Thanksgiving - maybe that Sunday or Monday. :)
You might have already but you can look and see what I'll be selling if you check out the two photos of the collection.
And if you look at my seller page at that link, you can save it if you want to purchase thru eBay.
It'll save fees if we do it through here though. Let me know what you'd like and you can pay through PayPal.
Or you can send a check and when it clears, I can ship.
thank you VERY much for your interest.
Mom loved EACH AND EVERY ONE. I'm just happy they're going to good homes.

Thank you for your reply, Im just a day late and a dollar short. :) I'm check our your eBay. Thank you again.
PS-I know how it is to see some items your late mother loved-bittersweet! Good luck.
