Disney It's A Small World Keychains from Etsy: MouseMadeMagic

 


The two handmade, Disney parks inspired keychains shown above came from the Etsy shop MouseMadeMagic, and were purchased in August of 2019. I checked the shop’s current inventory, and not only have they changed their shop name to AbbyandArthur, but they also no longer seem to carry keychains of any sort. However, the shop does feature handmade bags, made from Disney print fabric.

It can’t be easy to print small details onto the textured ribbing of grosgrain ribbon, even with proper equipment. It was also difficult for me to photograph these small details.


The purple and teal ribbon features simple geometric shapes that copy the exterior design of Disney’s It’s A Small World attraction, including the clock face from the clock tower.


The white and gold ribbon takes inspiration from the attraction’s interior design, featuring the ride’s signature dancing dolls, along with whimsical, stylized representations of global landmarks.

The teal webbing the ribbon is mounted to is a perfect color choice in my opinion, since it seems to exactly match the purple and teal ribbon while also complimenting the white and gold ribbon.

Aesthetically speaking, I’m quite happy with these keychains. Admittedly, I’ve never used them as actual keychains, since I’m unsure how the materials would hold up to heavy use. However, since I bought these to be part of my collection, I see long term wear-and-tear as a non-issue.

A Day At Churchville Nature Center: Fall 2025 (Keychain Souvenirs Haul)

Churchville Nature Center is located on a nature preserve in Northampton Township, Bucks County in Pennsylvania. The property features nature trails, native wildlife gardens, a seasonal Butterfly House, and a ‘Take A Book, Leave A Book’ Little Free Library. The Visitor Center has educational exhibits and live animal displays, wildlife viewing areas, and the obligatory gift shop.

I personally enjoy a curated nature walk experience, with trails that are maintained, clearly marked, and not too long for my stamina to handle. The fact that Churchville Nature Center has a Little Free Library is a nice bonus feature. However, I just can’t seem to visit any historic site, museum, state park, etc. without making a stop at the gift shop.

This geode keychain came from Churchville Nature Center’s Dragonfly Niche Gift Shop. A geode is defined as a rock containing a cavity lined with crystals or other mineral material. I chose this particular geode keychain because the exterior rock it had a less uniform and more textured appearance compared to the others for sale, which made it stand out to me. I actually have a decent-sized sub-collection of rock and mineral keychains. I've already shared some of them previously in my "Hobbies And Fandoms" post, if anyone's interested in taking a look.
