On the Move Again

It's been quiet around here, primarily because I'm about to move house again. We're staying in the same region this time, so while there's less stress than our last couple of moves we're also doing this one ourselves (versus having a corporate-sponsored moving team helping out).

So I probably won't be around for a few more weeks, but I did want to say hello to you all!

The playline dolls are preparing for the move.

Discount Shopping Adventures, May 2017

It's been a while since I checked out the local discount chains (in this case Tuesday Morning and Big Lots), so last week I decided to pay them a visit.  I took some photos of the toy aisle offerings and thought I'd share them with you guys!

Diya in the Garden

Last summer I unboxed Carpatina Diya, then the newest doll from Carpatina's slim 18" doll line. Since I'd opened her on a rainy day and then was away from home for nearly 4 months, I never got around to taking some proper outdoor photos of her.  So today I decided to remedy that!

It's May the Fourth...

So it's time for a day of Star Wars puns! Whether they make you smile or make you roll your eyes, I hope you have a good one!

Random Toy Sightings: The Remains of a Dozen Easter Parties

When I took my dog out on Monday morning, I found a park full of leftover plastic eggs and bunnies that were left behind by the Easter crowds. I thought I'd share a few photos of the festive detritus.

Retro Week: Random Toys of the 80s

I just got back from a weekend in Toronto, so it's time for another retro week post!

Does anyone remember what these toys were called?
They have articulated arms that move up and down

Thanks to an anonymous commenter we have an answer: He's a Hub-Bub! 

A Random Kristoff Sighting

While I was walking the dog yesterday, I came across a random mini figure of Frozen's Kristoff lying along the road in two pieces.  Naturally I took a photo, so now we have a sequel to The Lonely Doll Shoe and The Random Green Army Man.

I left him where he was in the hopes that whatever child dropped him might come back and take him home.
