The San Francisco Treat

Mr. Pickle stayed on with Miss Elizabeth after their recent east coast trip and then headed off to sunnier pastures: San Francisco, CA from November 29- December 3. It was a short trip but was full of many treats and thrills. Here we go:

 A visit to Makeshift Society brought Mr. Pickle in contact with his future home: A mini camper. I mean, really, look at him, it's too great.

More tiny things at Makeshift Society. HELLO HAT!

The visit to Rainbow Grocery in search of treats not available in New Zealand was endless. Erin and Mr. P were super hunters.

GASP! Look closely at that bucket. MR. PICKLE brand pickles?? And the pickle on the bucket is wearing a tiny hat! The real Mr. Pickle and his travel mates were in awe of this.

Mr. Pickle has chocolate covered. Fine, delicious, dark chocolate. Mmmmm.

Midway Airport brought many adventures for Mr. P, including controlling the Jetway.

Mr. P and Miss E learned that Midway Airport was named after the Battle of Midway.

Mr. P looks terrified as he ponders what statues eating live pickles have to do with the Battle of Midway!

And so ends another trip. Mr. P sure has been many places this year. He's going to spend the holiday in Delaware- a state he's never been.

Where are YOU taking him next??



A Crafty Weekend in Indiana

Rather than retrieving Mr. Pickle from Nicole after their recent fishing trip to South Carolina, he decided he wanted to hang with her and head to Indianapolis, Indiana the weekend of June 10-12 while she vended at INDIEana Craft Exchange. Yes, it was his first craft fair! Since Mr. P was basically born of craft,  he holds crafts near and dear to his heart.

 

Mr. Pickle is very excited to take in the scene at the Indieana Handicraft Exchange at the Harrison Center for the Arts in Indianapolis.

He spent some quality time with two lovely creative ladies: Courtney Fischer of Courtney Fischer Jewelry and artist and illustrator Laura Berger.

Mr. P recently saw the movie, E.T. and decided to recreate one of his favorite scenes with a few of Lori Brown's handcrafted critters.

 He couldn't resist the charms of one of Deb Eyde's winking owl ladies.

 After all that crafty goodness, Mr. Pickle hit the local watering hole, Flat 12 Bierworks, for more handcrafted goodness — in the drinkable form.

 He pulled up a seat made from a shopping cart and had some pickle-sized tastes of the American Wit beer.

 Mr. Pickle was sad to leave the fine people of Indianapolis and tried to camouflage himself among the mint.

 But in the end, Mr. P agreed to return home so he could set forth on his next adventure—because he cares.

What a great trip! A killer craft fair and good times hanging around with stuffed pals and human pals. Thanks Ms. Nicole for keeping him entertained two weekends in a row. Next up is NYC, for sure.
