COLLECTION: #2 Waddles the Penguin

 

The second Beanie Boo to be welcomed into the house was Waddles the Penguin, he came from Toys'r'us as a treat when my Dad was visiting, I seem to remember she had a choice between Waddles, Coconut or Romeo and she chose him.

 

 

Poor Waddles lately had a bit of a red foot when he got too close when watching Lo Lo colouring in, luckily a bit of a surface wash and he was good as new!

 



COLLECTION: #1 Stripes the Tiger

 

Lo Lo's first 6 inch Beanie Boo was Stripes the Tiger, I'm afraid I can't remember exactly when but it possibly dates back to Christmas 2011. It was bought from Tesco because she loved anything with big eyes - I didn't know a few years later it would be growing into a little collection :) As we're only using the 6 inch (regular) size for the official count he counts as #1 although her Safari clip predates him slightly.

 

Last year she was using Stripes (Beanie Boo #2) as little dumbbells when ever Mummy was doing a workout video, now he is come likely to get cuddled than crunched. 

 

Beanie Boo Keyring - 1,2 & 3

 

Time for a quick update, here are Lo Lo's 3 Beanie Boo key rings, they might not look like a lot but bearing in mind she's only 3 and saves her own pocket money up to buy them, it's a start :)

 

Safari (far left) was the very first Beanie Boo in the whole collection, we got it from Tesco when she was only 18 months old I can't remember if I treated her to it as a reward for behaving in the trolley or if it was saved and given as a Birthday present. Little did I know she would want a collection later on!

 

Tuffy (middle) was the very first thing she ever saved up for herself, it took 3 weeks pocket money and she was so proud to be able to walk into the shop (Brantano) and buy it for herself.

 

Rainbow (right) was bought in Southampton, she had saved the required money herself (although Claire's is more expensive so I had to slip the cashier the extra when she wasn't looking) and we had promised we would take her to the 'Beanie Boo Shop' to let her choose one but we were on a trip so had to go to the nearest shopping centre and hope they had some. This is the first beanie Boo where she has chosen to keep the tag on. On the same trip my son bought himself Zippy - but I am not including it here as this is Lo Lo's collection.

NEWS: Tabby cat - new release?

Tomorrow we'll be taking photos and logging all the Beanie Boos in her collection so far, but today we're quite excited about the new Beanie Boo photo from the Boots catalogue. A tabby cat. Not had chance to go into a Boots store to see if this cat is actually available (I have my doubts, and think its a stock photo, as the UK doesn't usually get exclusive or advanced releases, but you never know).

 

 

 

The only reference I can find is over at Glubschi Wonderland and it looks like it is part of a new release set of 5 including a very cute racoon, bluish leopard, a pink giraffe (like Jungle-love but without a heart) and a blue penguin (like Fairbanks without the hat). Really hoping little lady doesn't but this one her Christmas list yet as Father Christmas may have trouble sourcing one....

Welcome!

My 3 year old daughter started collecting TY Beanie Boos, this is a little blog for her about her growing collection and their many adventures :)
