recently i've been working on opening a little toy & soda shop in the wastes ~

flashback friday favorite ~ all who wander are not lost

a very special post today in honor of our favorite author jrr tolkien, as old friends of mr dad's are visiting oxford & graciously placed my painted tolkienstone on his grave in remembrance of his life's works that we have all loved so much.. yeah, for all of us nerds <3 ~

so i have an entire category devoted to tolkien here at the lost & found toy blog ~

as i discovered his books as a child long ago & read them all ~

& of course never missed the animated films that came on every year ~

& naturally passed it on to our son who became a huge fan too ~

there's not a film we've not collected & seen in full commentary form ~

not a game we haven't played to the end ~

all those collector cards ~

we'll never forget all the times going to the theater for the movies over & over ~

i once posted a month of tolkien time posts here at the lost & found ~

featuring all the books, games & collectibles we've collected over a lifetime ~

cool figures ~

& as a taphophile who loves to photo old cemeteries & epitaphs i added the photo to the very end of my extensive cemeteria album too ~

kinda makes me want to venture back into middle earth again ;) ~

& visit with old friends ~

you can check out all the tolkien videogames as well up at our game gallery playlist on youtube here ~

cool old vinyl for your vintage inner kid ~

& be sure to click on tolkien in the category list in the sidebar for much more ~

& thanks so much to robert & jeb :) ~

update: :D ~

so not only did robert & jeb leave our tolkienstone on his grave ~

they brought these 2 stones back from the grave for us! ~

so i painted one with tolkien's sig & we'll varnish it & keep it on the tolkienshelf in a place of honor! ~

& the other one.. who knows, maybe one day daniel/raven will have to take it back to england himself & return it to the grave? <3

UPDATE: this has been a flashback friday favorite post from last summer as jeb's research in edinburgh has taken some very interesting turns ;) & tolkien fans should check back all weekend here for new cool stuff!

flashback friday favorite ~ mysterious plushie dreadfuls

i have several mysterious plushie dreadfuls in my ghostcloset ;) ~

it all started many years ago when american mcgee, famous for my favorite alice videogames, began making mysterious plush toys to go with the games ~

i got the rabbit & cheshire cat as part of my alice collectibles <3 ~

but then he went on to create a line of plushie dreadfuls ~

each designed around health challenges many of us deal with like anxiety & ocd ~

i've shared all my favorites in my ghost closet antifashion youtubes ~

& sometimes as a patreon patron for american mcgee i got to participate in crowd design, like with the migraine rabbit ;) ~

check out the links in this post for much more like scruffy bumps & the love kitty & mysterious mini buns :D ~
