Looks like I’m not quite done with the little people after all—here are two more to add to the collection. It’s still foggy and gray outside; I honestly don’t remember seeing the sun for at least a week. Consequently, the kid insisted that the little people get dressed—he said it’s far too cold to run around naked.

So here they are: Albertha, on the right, the very first doll to get a proper name, and her nameless friend. The kid came up with Albertha himself, inspired by his two favorite teams: Alba Berlin (basketball) and Hertha BSC (soccer). Al-Ber-tha – Apparently, he has two hearts in his chest—one for each team—and both fight for attention at the same time! Or – to quote J. W. von Goethe – “two souls, alas, are housed within his breast, and each will wrestle for the mastery there.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself 😉

Even on these foggy, gray days, little people keep life playful and even a bit magical.
