Piggy Black Gold

Necklace
Metal / black + gold
Bought on business trip to JP
The delicateness of the chain and piggy balances out the gaudiness of the gold and crystals perfectly. So cute! And....... it's good to be back!!!

Lucky #3

Chilean folk art
Clay / red
From Mom
Good fortune + pig + cute, round body.... this handmade pig beats the heck out of those "lucky cats"!

Eth-pig

Toy
Blue dye fabric / navy
From home
This to me, is just such a different and special depiction of the usual cute pig. I don't know if it is, but it just looks like one of those handmade, vintage toys.

Yellow Fever

Toy
Rubber? / bright yellow
Tokyo Bopper
I've never seen yellow pigs! What rare finds!!! So yellow, and so Asian with the slant eyes, haha!

Higgledy Piggledy

Cell phone charm
Metallic fabric / various metallic colors
Shibuya 109 store
They are so girly, shiny, surprised, bejeweled...... and STUFFED!

Smokey

Toy
Unknown with plastic cover / peach
Taxi driver's dashboard
This poor piggy still looks cute regardless of being stuck in the tight, non breathable plastic that is stained by the nasty cigarette smoke.

Swee"tie"

Hair tie
Wood + elastic / peach
From Mom?
I am really not sure where she came from... but I know for sure that if I had a daughter, it will be on her head!

Black Mochi

Plush Toy
Faux fur / grey (salt 'n pepper)
From Dad
He used to guard my black on black Jetta, the BIG black mochi, and go to school with me everyday. Pictures definitely don't do this pig justice, he is so cute in real life!

Babe

Jewelry box
Metal / pearl pink
From Mom
Cute and innocent eyes, gems, gold trims, pearl pink....... tell me she is not Babe in real life!?

Baby Pig

Baby Toy
Plastic / peach
From Dad
It makes a "clak clak" sound when I move the legs, but it doesn't run or do anything... or maybe I am just not playing correctly.

Sprinkles

Magnet
Ceramic / red + silver
From home
Not too shabby for IKEA quality back in '96. It's a pity that its 2 brothers with different patterns have fallen long ago.

MexCali Pig

Piggy bank

Clay / off-white
From Dad / Mom
This "piggy bank" was picked up on a trip to Mexico. The vibrant ethnic colors against the off-white base and the kettle-like handle bar reminds me of vintage dishtowels...

Winged Porky

Paperweight
Rubber / Peach
From Dad + Mom
She is too cute to be used for its original purpose, so it just sits on my clear plastic desk organizer.
