Welcome to Gaia! ::

Of course I did not set a bigger budget. My budget this year was actually smaller. Just lots of things were the same in the vendors hall this year which was sad. Like every other table had the same things it seemed. I could not find a single Totoro thing I did not have and I don't have that much. The vendor I usually buy from was not there this year with them. sad

I don't have anything big. I try to stick with small things for space reasons and for price reasons. I have a wallet, a small plushie keychain, a soot ball that hangs on a window with a suction cup, and five cell phone charms. I use to use the cell phone charms but with my new phone I cannot anymore so I put them on my Nook. I like the cell phone charms the best since I can change them out and they are all so cute.

I wish I could find the old style phone charms I found years ago. They were only ten dollars each and have four clay resin figures on them and on really nice cord that is pretty and not cheap looking. I have not seen one in years though. An ex boyfriend did get me a cat bus that is close to what I had but on cheesy cord. From what I have seen online they have lots and lot of different types. I have never seen a metal one either just the clay resin ones.
