Nut Gatherer Squirrel Felt Figurine
A tiny woodland gatherer with one important treasure. This warm russet-brown squirrel holds a small nut between its paws, framed by bright curious eyes and a generously bushy tail. Its alert expression and compact upright pose give The Little Gatherer the feeling of a character caught in the middle of preparing for the season ahead—a simple woodland scene inspired by resourcefulness, abundance, and the quiet satisfaction of finding something worth keeping.
Each squirrel is individually needle-felted from natural wool, giving every character subtle variations in expression, proportions, tail shape, and surface texture. Designed for desks, bookshelves, woodland displays, and seasonal arrangements, it makes a thoughtful gift for nature lovers, squirrel collectors, and anyone who appreciates small reminders of preparation and everyday abundance. Continue the woodland gathering story with our Autumn Forager Squirrel Figurine.
