HUGE Vintage Hanging Stuffed Purple HOT AIR BALLOON Nursery Kids Decor - Shari
.
This nostalgic 80's room decoration hung from my ceiling in my bedroom as a kid, and I loved to look at it and imagine floating high over the world in that little basket.  It's a
big, beautiful, soft stuffed hot air balloon with alternating  panels in light purple, dark purple, and white with a pattern of tiny purple flowers (or berries?) on it.  It is decorated all the way around with bows made of light purple satiny ribbon and tiny fabric flowers.  There are gold cord "ropes" holding up the woven wicker basket, which is also embellished with the little fabric flowers.  It has a clear stiff nylon loop at the top for hanging.
It is basically like a huge mobile.
From the top of the balloon (not including the hanging loop) to the bottom of the basket, this large soft sculpture measures about 16" long, and the balloon itself measures about 8" across.
The balloon is embroidered with my name ("Shari") on one side, but this can be easily removed by the buyer if you so desire (just snip and pull the thread out).  The original paper tag is still attached from the store where this was purchased in NJ in the early 1980's.
The tag reads "Bizzy Lizzy/ 65 W. Main Street/ Rockaway, NJ 07866" along with a logo and phone number. (The store is no longer in business.)  The basket has a "Made in Portugal" label on it.
