On with the show!

The Plush You show opened last Friday, and I celebrated by buying a new dress and going to the opera. :)

Apparently the opening was quite the party, with cupcakes, a live DJ, drinks and everything! And both Schmancy and Fancy were as stuffed full of people as they were of plushies. I'm very lucky to have friends in the Seattle area who were able to go see the show, since I couldn't get there myself (the usual problem of lacking both money and time). I'm even luckier in that my friends went to the show and took their cameras with them and took lots of photos while there.

My Rag Pet trio is on show in Fancy.

Doesn't it look like such a super cool place? :)

The trio made it there all safe and sound, even if they do look a little mussed from their trip. Then again, you'd be a little mussed too after a few weeks spent cooped up in a box.

The trio share shelf space with cute crochet critters from Gleeful Things (on the right of them), charming chickens wearing pants by Absolutely Small (on their left), absolutely adorable animals by Missy Ballance and kuddly knitted kreatures (I know I'm cheating, but it's hard to come up with alliterative words that begin with the letter K) by Fuzzy Mitten.

I love that all the plushies were set up so that you could touch and hold them. I bet that if I were at the show, I'd have spent the whole evening just petting and cuddling plushies and then I would have spent all my money and then I would have promptly fainted from all the wonderfulness! :)

It's so nice seeing photos of the show, and of course of my Rag Pets. I feel really proud of my little trio and I'm so chuffed to know they're doing well over there in the big world.

You can see lots more photos of the Plush You show (from both Schmancy and Fancy) in Dawn's Flickr, Leah's Flickr and Schmancy Toy's Flickr.

Oh I simply ADORE Chickenpants. And your Rag Pets but you knew that already.

I love the idea of toys coming to life at night when everyone's asleep - I think if this were true, Fancy and Schmancy would be a real toy party every night!

I'm also a big fan of ChickenPants, those little videos still make me giggle after watching them over and over again.
Absolutely Small also hosts a great collaborative plushie blog: http://www.theneedle.org/
And I'm slightly, just slightly, addicted to it. :D
