Goodies!

Me and my husband went to Manchester yesterday to catch up with 2 good friends. We had a great time, high lights of the day (apart from of course seeing our friends) was visiting afflecks palace, where we decided to adopt this little creature. We named him Stuart, as my husband believed he shared a canny resemblance to one of the friends we were with, strangely enough called Stuart! He's ace, and was made by Sausage dog who has an etsy site www.sausagedog.etsy.com.




We also happened upon the Richard Goodall Gallery in the Northern Quarter. It was awesome, and there was an exhibition of custom designed Lurnartik tea cup vinyl toys. Wish we had had time to peruse it in more detail http://www.richardgoodallgallery.com/rggstore/lunartik-tea-cup-vinyl-signing-dec-12-n-62.html   http://www.lunartik.com/  . However, we did purchase a festive (albeit slightly disturbing) festive dunny and the cutest dunny I've ever seen, both designed by chuckboy. Although slightly miffed, as the lion one did come with a piece of meat as an accessory, but we lost it some where on the way back from Manchester :( poor hungry lion!

These delightful fellows have been added to our modest, but growing collection of collectable art vinyl toys:
