Meet Sir Hopsalot, the dapper amphibian scholar of Lily Pad Lane. Once a humble pond dweller, everything changed when he discovered an old storybook, “The Frog Prince.” Inside its pages, he found not just fairy tales, but what he proudly calls timeless dating advice.
Inspired by its lessons in love and transformation, Sir Hopsalot dressed himself in his finest dotted ladybug shirt and velvet vest, setting off to share his wisdom (and perhaps find a princess of his own). Wherever he travels, he captivates his audience with ribbiting tales of romance and hope.
Completely Handmade
Every Sir Hopsalot is crafted by hand from the first stitch to the last brush of colour:
• Created from 100 % pure wool felt, soft yet durable.
• Soft-sculpted head for gentle facial shaping and character
• Felted eyes set into actual sculpted sockets with lifelike depth.
• Felted nostrils and a hand-sculpted snout.
• Wired, posable fingers so he can hold his little book or gesture expressively.
• Ball-jointed elbows and knees, allowing smooth, natural posing.
• Airbrushed and shaded by hand using fabric inks that tint the fibres without stiffness
• Includes a miniature handmade book, bound with real printed storybook pages you can gently turn.
Wherever possible, all fabrics and materials are natural, high-quality, and ethically chosen.
