I FINALLY found some new duckies. Sheesh! I haven't found any since, like, Feb! I found them at a dollar store. Charlotte, do you need any of these?
Duck set #1 is a soap dish and tounge duck set; the tounge duck is tethered to a bath poof.

Duck #2 is a very unusual tounge duckling with orange wavy stripes painted on her back and wings.

Duck #3 holds a plastic tumbler. This duck is vinyl, not hard plastic.

And finally the piece de resistance, the duck I was happiest to find. This is a bootleg of a darling modern Japanese-made duck. It's smaller, as so many bootlegs are, but every detail remains in exact proportion. Charlotte was gracious enough to set me up with an original Japanese version of this duck about two years ago, and its packaging was just so charming I never took the duck out. Now here finally I have one I can play with display.

Also sighted at Target tonight: a Johnson and Johnson baby product gift set including a cute new rubber duck.
