11/5/14 Grab Bag Baby Poad picture thread (Hoppies and Hippies)

WOW!!! Serendipity!!! I LOVE BOTH OF THEM!!! *swoon* I heart red eyes!

I finally got to see two out of three of my hoppies this morning!!! For whatever reason, my mother left the third box at home instead of taking it with her on her weekend travel, I guess since my brother bought it technically? Lol

Anyway, no pictures at the moment because it was dark where she is but she promised to get some photos tomorrow! For now a description will do. First hoppy has blue eyes and goes red to blue down his back in stripes and has blue circles on his bum. He actually reminds me a lot of Serendipity’s fourth fellow, though maybe a little less variance in color. His paint job is very very nice though, I’m quite pleased!

Second fellow has RED eyes!! I am so thrilled. His body is black on the front for the most part except for two small red markings and then he’s a bright bright red up and down his back. Very striking and I love that his eyes match.

So now it’s time to check out the third one if I can reach my brother and man oh man I really really hope it’s one with black eyes. Actually, specficially, I’m really hoping it’s the hoppy with brown and blue on it, that would be just PERFECT. Or maybe a purple, but I think the purple may be all gone now. I just have to get a hold of my brother….

Lasohaney I would love to see pics! Your rainbow one sounds like one I was looking for!

As an update, my missing box did not show up today. I even talked to the neighbor in the basement suite to ask if she had seen my box yesterday and she said she had seen 2 boxes outside the door yesterday, not 3 so I know they did not deliver 3 boxes, just 2. So I was on the phone today with Canada Post and USPS trying to track it down. Canada Post told me to inform the sender (I e-mailed Susie) and to talk to USPS about investigating where the box went but when I talked to USPS she did not even know how to get a hold of Canada Post and said she couldn’t file a claim because it was First Class International shipping. Well I didn’t want a claim filed. I just wanted to track down where my box went. So I talked to Canada Post again and got a guy who figured out how to e-mail the depot where all the deliveries leave from on delivery trucks and he took down my information and said they would e-mail me about the status of my box and what happened. I even checked with the post office nearby but they didn’t have it so whoever was supposed to deliver my box and scanned it as delivered either still has it or it’s on a truck still or back at the depot. I don’t think they are open on the weekend so I really hope they update me by Mon. if they track it down and can re-deliver it or leave it at a post office for me to pick up. I am still so worried! With that said I did manage to get pics on my cell phone of the other poads we got in which are two hoppy ones but I really want my hippie and hoppy in the missing box!

Here’s the one hoppy that my mom got in. I also think this one is gorgeous and so close to what I was wanting with a rainbow one. We would maybe consider trading it for a rainbow one with more orange or red at the top or one like mine above without the red. (I like red in rainbows but not in anything else if that makes sense.) I also like the all purple ones and teal ones.

As soon as I’ve got the pictures, I’ll figure out how to post em up here for people to see. 🙂 I don’t think the first one is quite so rainbow, iirc it was just red-to-blue, but it made me happy.

I’m really sorry to hear though that your box is still missing!! I hate to hate on the postal service, because I know that there are workers who work very hard indeed, but it’s so frustrating when things like this happen… I have a package that I paid 2 day shipping on and although it arrived at a sorting facility not 30 minutes from my home address by car, and despite getting there at 7:30 AM, ithey apparently couldn’t get it together and make the shipping deadline and it’s being delivered a day late. :/ Thanks, USPS. Hopefully your box will turn up, I know you’re doing everything in your power to see to it that it gets to you. I’ve had times where I screwed up and wrote the wrong address on packages and still managed to get things to their right owner, so don’t give up, I still have hope it’ll find its way to you!!

In the meantime, try to take heart, the two hoppies you posted earlier are super pretty!!

Gorgeous poads Kim!! I really hope you get your other box soon!

I finally got a chance to take pics of my poads so here they are. My hippie is really cute but she’s not exactly what I was looking for so she will be up for trade.

Here’s my pretty little Hoppy Poad, the bottom color looks more blue in pics but is actually a gorgeous deep teal color. She’s in top row Center line on left of the group shot.
