hi everyone! my birthday was two days ago! and guess who i adopted from a huuuuge wall of stuffies!

a little luxe bunny that i named Tiramisu, but she prefers Misu for short!

i went with a family member and she got a little flower bunny and she named her Petunia!

Petunia and Misu are good friends and they’re really happy they get to come home with us! p.s. imagine how hard it was for me to choose who to adopt 😟 it was a really hard decision.

Larry had a great time exploring the outdoors for the 1st time :3

Sunbathing on a rock he found

Then he made me watch him climb this tree; it took him a few tries but he got there!

He really liked laying on this tube for whatever reason...

There will be more photos of my other soft friends soon :]

90s Beanie-Mania: Do you remember?

I've been feeling nostalgic lately, and this has manifested in a fixation on Beanie babies/buddies, and reading about the beanie baby craze of the 90s. Do you remember this weird little bubble of toy history? How old were you? What do you remember about the beanie craze? Reblog this and show me your 90s/early 00s beanies, buddies, pillow pals, ty classic, etc!

I'll start! I was born in 89, so I basically grew up with beanies. Most of my family also liked them; TY beanies (and buddies later on) were common gifts, and my sister and I had several and enjoyed collecting them to play with. My mom, aunt, cousin, and even my grandma collected them (although I think my grandma's mostly were gifts from other family members, especially my cousin and aunt). My mom would frequently go to "her beanie guy" who owned a collectible store and had beanies for mostly retail I think? Except the ones that were "rare" at the time.

When I was in 3rd grade or so, my mom gave me this unofficial beanie babies collector guide and I was mildly obsessed, I loved looking at all the beanies and reading their poems. I think it got ruined in the Great Bookshelf Flood of 2016 though, but by then it was practically falling apart after years of flipping through pages and poring over which beanies I had, which ones I wanted, which ones were "rare," etc.

I have this one specific memory of my grandma taking me to a collectibles store to get Blizzard the white tiger (I was so excited that they had her!). When my brother was born, and mom and dad brought him home from the hospital, they brought me a Tracker the basset hound beanie buddy, and he was my favorite stuffed animal for most of my childhood after that. At one point, in the mid-90s, my mom started making "beanie baby leashes" out of lengths of rainbow ribbon, big lobster clasps, and D-rings, and those were a hit with us kids!

I now have some of my grandma's beanie collection, including Nanook in the photo, who I've renamed December, after the birthday month my grandma and I shared.

I guess this was just a weird, nostalgia-fueled ramble. But, if you did read this far, thank you, and I really would love to hear stories from other people who remember the 90s beanie baby craze!
