you will have three partners, to each you will send one item. therefor you will receive three items in return.

A teeny figurine, shall be defined for this swap as a small cute object..around 1" to 3" in height. not to big not tooo small. Can be made of porcelein, glass, wood, metal, annyythign that looks nice. anything you would be happy to receive.

I uploaded a picture, hopefully it shows up..

things NOT to send: plastic things, small toys that loook like figurines, broken/chipped/glued things.

be sure to post any preferences, likes, dislikes in the comments below..such as specific colors, an animal, shiny, person, clown..whatever it might be.

this is a U.S swap..to keep shipping costs low.

you can find these, at thrift stores, from your own shelves or collections, flee markets, garage sales...any place.

the cuter and stranger the better, make sure to research and ask about your partner to ensure that they will like what you send them.

Hope those who sign up will say what type figurines they like. I have lots to choose from!

My favorite figurine would be a little kitten or cat, followed by a little frog, followed by a surprise - whatever you would like to send :)

i like handmade figures :) the favorite ones i have right now are a little travelling buddha, a small porcelien blue and yellow cat, a bitty croched giraffee, and a tiny metal mermaid. wouldn't it be fun too if we all took a picture of our favorite little figures to send to our partners and share?

user5860 03/17/2007 #

ack i meant crocheted.... and porcelain! geez... i wish the comment box had a spell check.

Can I ask for elelphants only? The odder or stranger the better!

RobinT 03/19/2007 #

I like anything... my collection consists of a horse, a tiny bird, a frog, a dragon, a goose that used to belong to my mom, a yorkie, and a poodle. I have a small cabinet that I put them in so they'll be safe.

When I was young, I used to collect horses.

Anything would be fine with me.

I'm with LMM - I'm crazy about elephants. Though I do enjoy whales and owls as well. Unusual is good and handmade items are always my favorite!

LMM 03/21/2007 #

When will we get our partners? I was shopping yesterday and saw some cute things, but didn't know what to get :(

charlottenc 03/22/2007 #

Yay! I've got my partners, but two haven't listed any preferences. Yikes! You don't want to leave it up to me to choose, do you? Still time to list your fav lil' animals. I'd really like to know I'm sending ones you'll be happy to receive.

LMM 03/23/2007 #

Oh! I qwenet shopping yesterday and found the greatest stuff! A tall brass kitty, an adorable hedgehog, a fabulous glass parakeet (Avon bottle), a winsome pig, a bunny and a whale!

Now I just gotta ecode what to keep and what to send!

LMM 03/23/2007 #

PS: I'm open to snails, too!

LMM 03/23/2007 #

Wish I knew what you all wanted, like nonparieldolls, some of my partners didn't give me much to go on....

brokeneyeball 03/23/2007 #

you can go ahead and send a message to your partner(s) asking what they'd like..

we want everyone to love the items they receive!

I just love anything that is tiny! I have printers trays hanging on my wall that I fill with all that is tiny. Just so my partner knows, I love everything that I recieve in the mail from here so I should be easy!!!

LMM 03/24/2007 #

I realized after ailing my items, that one of them doesn't qualify as "teeny"...it is on the large size for a figurine....I emailed my partner and hope she doesn't mind when it arrives....I was just so jazzed to find it I kind of forgot about that part of the swap!

Jill 03/25/2007 #

HI! To my partner - I love anything tiny and cute. I LOVE sealife, but really anything tiny and cute will put a smile on my face! I went shopping for my partners and boy did I see sooo many things that made me smile!! Thanx in advance!

RobinT 03/28/2007 #

Packages out to Kira, Laura and Kira. They should be arriving soon!

I hope you'll enjoy them!

Hugs, Robin

ArtsyKira 03/28/2007 #

ArtsyKira 04/ 2/2007 #

RobinT - thank you very much for the teeny tiny elephant!

LMM 04/ 2/2007 #

ArtsyKira--Loved my package! So many little elephants...too bad I can only give you 1 heart!

LMM 04/ 2/2007 #

Oops! There was a little box already inside the house I over looked....inside was a teeny elephant from Robin! Thanks so much!

ArtsyKira 04/ 3/2007 #

LMM - glad you liked the package! :) It was extra fun putting together stuff for a fellow elephant enthusiast!

ArtsyKira 04/ 4/2007 #

Jill, thanks so much for the elephants!

charlottenc 04/10/2007 #
