Mr. Toastee at Maker Faire

Whew! Mr. Toastee and I have been traveling all over the place lately! We recently returned from Maker Faire in California....what an experience that was! We had such a good time with our fellow Plush Teamers and made some new friends too!

Mr. Toastee's favorite part of Maker Faire was the food...he loved the Gumbo!


And look! He was so excited that his brothers and sisters were getting adopted at the Plush Team's booth:

Mr. Toastee helps at Winefest!

Last year, Mr. Toastee was lucky enough to be able to help Stacie S. at the North East Wine Fest at Heritage Wine Cellars. He was able to help because he is over the legal drinking age for toast!

Wow! I didn't know that he could drive one of these! Look at him moving the wine:

Even though he has no hands, he helped put labels on the wine bottles:

Nice Job!

And, after a long, hard day of work, he was able to enjoy a little wine himself ^_^

Happy New year! We are tired of snow!!!

Mr. Toastee and I just got back from our Holiday vacation. We had a lot of fun and got to see lots of family and friends! We drove to Cranberry, PA, then to Wheeling, WV, then back to Cranberry, PA, then up to Erie, Pa, and then all the way back home. That's a lot of driving...and Mr. Toastee didn't help at all!!

Here he is trying to help out with the holiday decorations:


And look! He made a new friend in Erie:

He also tried some Local Erie brews...yum!

It was a little too cold and snowy to drink them outside!

Mr. Toastee was hiding in my footprints in the snow:

Note to self...when traveling to Erie in January, don't bring clogs. Be sure to back proper boots!!

After all the fun in the snow, Mr. Toastee warmed up with Max E. Pad the cat:


Mr Toastee was super excited that my parents got me this new Tokidoki purse for Christmas because it has enough room inside for him to tag along with me everywhere!

FYI - an exclusive, Limited Edition Mr. Toastee plush will be debuting at Schmancy on Jan 20th...stay tuned for details!!!
