Maomao Cat Ears with Basket Acrylic Phone Charm – The Apothecary Diaries

Herb-gathering day, basket on her back, and a look that says the haul was good. This Maomao basket charm shows the apothecary at her smuggest, with cat ears thrown in because the name Maomao reads “cat cat”.

Maomao with cat ears and her herb basket

This one is a half-length portrait: Maomao from the waist up, both fists closed around the straps of the woven basket she carries on her back. Her brows are drawn down over bright blue eyes, her mouth is a tiny curled cat smile, and freckles and a blush cross her cheeks. Dark green cat ears sit in her hair next to a blue ribbon, and her robe is the plain green of her working clothes with a paler collar. The basket is the one she fills on her rounds: herbs for drying and grinding, and now and then something she should not be picking.

For bags that go outdoors

A natural fit for a backpack zip, a tote or the phone you take on walks, since she is dressed for foraging.
