# 11 of 5000 + "PIGGIES"

A new aquasition purchased only a few weeks ago. I was at this $1.00 store during my lunch break in downtown Los Angeles and saw this cute little Valentine Stuffed Piggie. It only cost me a $1. What a bargain!!!

#10 Piggie comes all the way from Beffendorf Germany purchased by my in laws and niece. The local market REAL is kinda like a Walmart. Only Walmart stores are bigger this store caters to about 900 locals in the Black Forrest. Gisela (Sven's mother) was out shopping with Nina (Sven's niece) and she saw this piggie and immediately pulled it from the shelf and claimed it to be mine. Play the video and see if you'll agree that it is peculiar that the song sung is in English.

Another contemplating issue is that because I am a true pig paraphernalia collector I usually buy two of the same kind. I always open one and proudly show it off throughout the house and one I keep in its box unopened.

Not that these pigs are worth anything but who knows 200 years from now in the same package what it could be worth. In this case, one swings from our giant grapefruit tree in the backyard.

As for "Piggie #7" . I called her"Norma". It was named after a good friend of the family who's clothing always had this particular pattern in it. No matter what her daily wear was, she would always have this circle pattern on either pants, socks, sweater, etc...I can even remember her having a purse with this specific pattern. I felt that Norma deserved the have a "Piggie" named after her when I found this one. You can purchase this brand of plush toys at Target www.target.com where I purchased this one. I went online and could not find this particular "Piggie" on the companies website. Although they do have another version of a plush stuffed "Piggie" (of course I ordered it). http://www.animaladventure.com/our-company.html

You will hear me say this far too many times but its is what it is. Another one of my favourite pigs is this little guy. It was purchased yet again in Munich Germany on one of my many visits there with my partner Sven. What it so intriguing and wonderful about this "PIGGIE" is that it is completely made out of birch bark of a tree.  The detail and time that was put into making this was by far no easy task. It sits in our house in a special area reserved for "My Prize Possession Piggies"
