Hi there,

Just thought I would let you know that my 14month old daughter rescued a beautiful toy from the top of the play equipment at the playground on Ramsey Avenue, Klemzig, South Australia this week. Lucy spotted it from the ground and started pointing at it. I got it out of the bag and the toy spent the next 30 minutes on the swings and horsey rides with Lucy! Thanks Jess for the beautiful toy and it’s a great project for the community. Lucy loves it and it brought a smile to her face.

Thank you.

Emma

Introducing Beeper Bebe...



Hi there. My name is Holly and I make original plushies from secondhand materials--all on my mother-in-law's hand-me-down sewing machine. I believe in recycling what I can to make my designs, so old suitcoats, sweaters, towels and sheets are all born again in my workshop. In addition to being nice to the earth, I also believe in being kind to each other--which is why I love the random acts of plushie kindness that The Toy Society inspires.

If you are interested, you can visit my Etsy shop at:beeperbebe.etsy.com

It’s open 24-7. Stop by anytime. And if you are really bored, I also have a blog where I blather on about plushies & other stuff in my life: chezbeeperbebe.blogspot.com. Reduce, Re-use, Amuse!

Holly's favourite drop: Valentine's Day Drop # 27

from Frank to thetoysociety@gmail.com date Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 6:45 AM subject found a toy in Sneek -the Netherlands

Hello people of the The Toy Society,

Sunday afternoon I found a love Toy at a bridge in Sneek-Friesland-The Netherlands around 17.00 h.

I was curious and red the little leaflet and took the *thing* with me.

It's an elefant with a red head and upside down it is a white rabbit vanishing in a black hat.

Thank you very much-I'll take care for the elefant and the rabbit.


Best regards,

Frank
Purmerend (near Amsterdam)

Shelle, this toy has found a great new home with my 2 year old son. He loved getting a new toy after missing out on mummy for 2 weeks due to exams and assessments. Chicken now sleeps with my son and goes everywhere with him.
