found my travel gnome, finally!

i've been trying to look for a travel gnome ever since i read an article about travel gnomes and i was kinda jealous when i saw that cedric found his and the brilliant idea of getting something inflatable....... i mean nothing beats that for being easy-to-carry............

anyway..........

i'm looking for my perfect gnome........ ofcourse i don't want it to be bulky........ i want it to be something so small that wouldn't take much space in my bag (remember, i have to lug around a camera and some lens and tripod with me) plus i like something that would somehow represents me............. i was both trying to look and not look......yeah, i know i don't make sense again....... but it's like, i want it to be, well, sort of a "love at first sight" kinda thing........... i want it to find me............ and that when i see it i would know right away that my search is over, that i found my travel gnome.............yeah, yeah, i'm being melodramatic again.............. but anyway, i was about to give up and was googling and was looking for a tiny garfield stuffed toy (around 4" and not bulky).......... i have resigned to the fact that i won't be able to find something unique and i'm settling for just getting myself a tiny garfield when i came across this blog:

i fell inlove with those pinky:st dolls right then and there! they are just so me! here's why (from wikipedia):

"A unique feature of the Pinky Street dolls is the interchangeable parts. The heads, hair styles, clothing and accessories can be easily switched between figures according to taste."

more definition? click me


so far, i bought sue , reina, sacchin and maki


some of them i bought because of the clothes they wear and the accessories they have but i'm really thinking of having sue or sacchin as my travel gnome......can't decide which one yet.......... hopefully i'll get them next week and then i'll decide........ can't wait!

here are next in my list (i'm thinking of collecting them all)....... again some of them i want because of the accessories and clothes:

sacchin - pka005
tohru
sumire
pucchi
achiko
