A few Xmas-related items I couldn't
shoe-horn into other posts!
The only thing I found in Flying (formally just-) Tiger which was worth a punt, and then
only because it was only a quid and I had a pound on me for parking, that I hadn't
needed because the old Jobcentreplus
was shut early and I thought that if - as a tax-payer - I part-owned the place,
I could park there! Wooden snowman, ski-sticks, no skis!
Meanwhile, this came in from Brain B in the
Nu Yoik, and I feel a bit guilty as a result, because both Asda and Poundland had
smaller nutcrackers for tree hanging, 70/80mm maybe, but I just wasn't in a
nutcracker mood this year and left them all regimented on their hooks!
Jo-Ann
Stores paint-you-own, dress-your-own and
sticker-your own, nutcracker fairy! Of course you can leave the skirt off and
with that crown and some diligent painting, make a 'proper nutcracker of the
he-fairy variety! "Steal some of the
hair for a beard and no one will know, Dr Frankenstein?" Thanks Brian!
This has been hanging around by the front
door on the old telephone stand for years, well decades according to the date
on it! A lot of corporate cards are just naff shite aren't they? But I felt
some effort and thought had gone into this piece of direct-marketing, so I thought
I should record it before it went to recycling!
You may remember me mentioning I'd gone
back and bought two duplicate cake-decorations in Hobbycraft when I posted the others a couple of weeks ago, well, I
took them back and exchanged them for these two.
The polar bear was a nice sculpt and I
can't say no to a motorcycle even if it is a scooter! Compared with the Airfix
one, you can see it will take one of the many orphaned 35-45mm riders piling-up
in that zone! I was tickled by the two holes in the pack to stop the handlebars
breaking, but which makes it easier for them to catch on things . . . doh!
