Hard to Resist: All About Birds and A Knock-off Raisin

Some more sale items that we found terribly hard to resist:

Here are some California Raisins for sale…well, 3 Cali Raisins and a giant brown California Turd.  

Here’s a binder with info all about birds.  Adorable for sure, but I’ll stick with a more traditional birdwatching guidebook.  I don’t want my Cowbird looking too much like your run-of-the-mill Robin.

Speaking of guidebooks, is your internet television just too damn confusing?  Look no further…

Lastly, you’ve heard us profess our love for Hugglets before, but we’ve never actually seen the larger Hugga Bunch version at a sale…until now…

Terrifying.  Also, why is her diaper ravaged?  The elastic was all stretched out.  Gross.

Fave Find: Hugglet

Erin already knows this, but one of the things I love most about estate sales is finding items from my childhood that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Like this Taco Bell “Hugglet” from the ’80s (with the tag still attached, inside the baggie it originally came in!) You can read more about Hugga Bunch dolls and Hugglets and as well purchase some for your own collection on this crazy person’s (not me) website. Here’s a picture of Fluffer. 

Since finding him in August, he has been clipped to the passenger visor of my car, protecting it from evildoers. I briefly thought that rubbing his gold diaper would give Erin and I good luck at the casino but it didn’t work.

Update from Erin:  When I first saw this baby Hugga Bunch I thought it was the worst.  After a long car ride home with it though, it kind of grew on me.  If you close one eye and hold it kind of far out in your hand, it is pretty cute.
