The Dolls Arrive
21 boxes arrived this morning at 8:30 am. Now Mr Toast has plenty of friends. It is kind of cool because the Joe dolls came shrunkwrapped in bags of 12, a cool dozen. I will take some nicer photos once I get the boxes put away in storage.

The F&F Factory
Where they made Funny Face mugs and pitchers in the 1960's and 1970's. Long since closed.

This is the latest 3D Mr Toast image from computer wizard, Charles Barnard. Joe is leading Mr Toast in on a landing of his UFO. Cartoon magic.

Expecting Company
I just got the call that the new dolls are in customs at the airport. That means that hopefully by the end of the week I will have 3600 visitors......now I have to find a lot of good homes for them.

Gaucho Cookies - Burry Day 14
Well today is the final day of my Burry's cookies postings. I end with an item I have been looking to find for almost 20 years. When I started collecting kids food stuff in 1988, I wanted to find all the products that I loved as a kid. This meant Freakies, Funny Face and my favorite cookies, Gauchos. At that time I did not even remember their name, I just remembered the elephant that graced the front of the box.
Well for 19 years I have searched and never seen one for sale. But through the magic of eBay someone put one up for sale. I bid and won it and a few days later it showed up. It is kind of strange to fill that hole in my collection after so long. But it is great to have that childhood memory all wrapped up and sitting on the shelf.
I hope everyone enjoyed my coverage of Burry Cookies. If you want to see all the posting together use the link below.
