I'll check out the hobby stores (hard to find in the city, actually, for some reason) - as opposed to the old fashioned "hobby shops." Dollar Tree... now there's an interesting thought (and easier to find.) I've found a lot of fruit around here (plastic and otherwise), but no bananas, for some reason, thus far.

To clarify: I used to live in Durham NC, one city in which Zany Brainy was located. I do not know if that store is still open, or if they exist at all.

I hope that makes things clearer. I think the reason I turned out this way is genetic, although Snickers is hoping and praying that I'm wrong...

I much prefer the idea of actually living in the toy store! Kinda like Tom Hanks in BIG... How fun would that be to be able to hop on the giant piano all day!

Who wants to play "Chopsticks" with me!!!

I love the movie BIG.

Did I ever tell you that "I'm Big In Japan" ?
80s music was the best!

the trick with hobby hobby is to join their Email list. every week they will send you a coupon by email. Often, it is for 40% off any one item! Today we went to Hobby Lobby (Sassy calls it "Mecca") and bought craft paints for 25% off. You just have to watch the flyers at both places. You can find great deals from both places.
