🌸 Meet Blossom!

Meet Blossom, the adorable opossum who's decided to make herself useful! Created using beautiful African Flower motifs, this charming little opossum isn't just a cuddly character—she's also a practical door stop that's sure to bring a smile every time you see her.

Blossom takes her job very seriously and is always happy to keep your doors open… although she does occasionally get herself a little squashed in the process! Fortunately, being crocheted, she doesn't seem to mind one bit. With her cheeky smile poking out one side of the door and her tail sticking out the other, she's guaranteed to make visitors laugh.
