Hub and I attended a comic convention today. I perused the toys while Hub perused the art, and I had a fantastic find! I've been wanting some little toys called "Peek a Poohs" forever, but they're hard to find and usually only in vending machines. People online charge an arm and a leg for them. Grrr. But at this lovely con, we found a machine!! Not only that, but the wonderful clerk was willing to OPEN THE MACHINE TO GET US WHAT WE WANTED. How awesome is that? And no, I didn't bug him, he actually OFFERED.
I got some from this set:

and only a couple from this set:
I desperately want the Pooh in the Eeyore costume, as Eeyore is my favorite, and I think it's adorable. But he didn't have that one, and this set is one of those that people charge a ton for. sigh. Actually, both sets are "coveted" sets, so I'm glad we got them.
I did purchase some for gifts as well. I know some people who will just adore them.
On top of that, I found the artist with whom we'd like to partially decorate our child's nursery (when we have one).
Then we had really yummy food at a really humble down-home place with some really good friends. All in all, quite a good day. Now I probably should really buckle down on the schoolwork eh?

It sounds like you had a great time and what a great find on the Peek-a-Pooh toys.
I have a fuzzy version of the Pooh in the Eeyore costume somewhere, I'll see if I can find it.
I am so out of the loop. I have never even heard of such a thing. Ahh!
Thanks Kristin! You would have liked the show. It had a lot of stuff right up your alley.
WB - I didn't know about them until I saw one hanging on sis in laws tree! I said, "Oh my God that is the cutest thing I've ever seen!! WHERE did you get it?"
She didn't know what they were called, so it took me a while to track them down online. She gets them at a machine in Wal-Mart in Canada, but here in FL, there are only 2 bowling allies listed in the whole state that have them. Crazy huh?
Oh my gosh those are so cute! I've never seen or heard of them before. That is so cool you were able to acquire them.
So cute! I've never seen those before :)
Cute cute cute. And I wanted to comment on your other cute post, but couldn't find the comment button. Where do you find all this cuteness???? It makes me want to rush out and buy a kitten. Almost. Except for the fact that we've recently seen the (wild) red-eared firetailed finches return to our property after a year's absence. Now THEY are cute!
