Meet Calusa, who was once called Brulee (as in Creme Brulee), but I didn't think the translation of burnt was quite what I had in mind... then she became Florida, because she's holding a Key (a vintage key at that) thought I was being clever, but she just didn't look like a Florida. So, I googled Florida, and discovered that The Calusa was a Native American group that lived on the coast and along the inner waterways of Florida's southwest coast. Although she is far from being a Native American, I liked the name :O)
She's in my Etsy shop:
