Friday Finds, 80s Cartoon Style: Smurf Hats

If you haven't captured a clue from my Jem Costumes, Strawberry Shortcake Treats, and Flashback Pillows finds, I'm truly an 80s child, and a geeky one at that. I grew up watching The Smurfs cartoon, and occasionally still catch it on the Boomerang network. I collect the cute little blue figurines. I even had the amazing opportunity to gape at Peyo's original Smurfs illustrations when I visited the Belgian Comic Strip Center in Brussels back in 2002.

So smurf yeah, I will be seeing the new Smurfs movie even though it may turn out to be a disaster that would make even Gargamel wince. I'll be waiting until it comes out on video, though. There are too many other enticing film releases this summer! I don't possess Greedy's money tree that grows golden goodies and can't afford that many theater tickets.

I can, however, freely explore the Etsy village. I whistled that familiar tune, and these adorable hats came smurfing along. It may be too hot to wear them now, but wouldn't each make a perfect companion to the movie as a Christmas gift?

  5. I loved the Smurfs too but I honestly think the movie looks like it's going to suck. And why did they have to do it in that creepy 3-D style that all cartoons seem to have today? To me it feels wrong to try and make the Smurfs look realistic. Ah well. Of course if they made a Jem movie that would get my $15 no matter what.

  9. Very smart and cute for the smart young generation ...the colors are also mellow and pretty.They are quite choosy about what they wear so these would be nice picks.
