Hi
I've been remiss in updating this blog. Sorry. Excuses are odious, but, as you probably also say numerous times a day, "There's not enough time!"
CONGRATULATIONS TO SIENA WHO WON HERSELF THE WEBKINZ REINDEER. She's already been in the store to pick it up. Hope you have many happy hours with your Reindeer, Siena.
Just a quick note about the Reindeer. Seems it is not as rare as the older limited edition Webkinz have been. I remember when the Sherbet Bunny and Love Puppy could not be ordered by Funky after the initial order and were sold out in days. There appears to be a lot of Reindeer around and no shortage at Ganz either. So don't worry if you haven't found one yet. Funky still has a few in stock as well.
The Webkinz Penguin arrived a few days ago. It is selling out faster than any other Webkinz I've ever carried, and The Funky Little Shop has carried every single Webkinz since the beginning. I think there are about 36 left and I have no more orders between now and Christmas. Don't worry about phoning Funky (604-682-8404) and asking us to mail you one, we're very happy to do that. If you go to the Webkinz site, http://www.webkinz.com/ you can see for yourself how adorable it is. What you can only guess at is how very squishy soft and cuddly it really is.
And the other new arrivals at The Funky Little Shop are continuing the Ganz tradition of quality. You can add the following new Webkinz to the list (all of which are still in stock) in the earlier blog:
Yellow Lab
German Shepherd
Seal
Penguin
Webkinz clothes.
The entire line of clothes did arrive. But here we are less that 7 days later and they're almost all gone. I've ordered more. Lots more. Hopefully they will get here this week. (Along with the charms, trading cards, and charm bracelets, I hope.)
FASHION ANGELS
Don't know how many of you are familiar with this award winning (Canadian Toy Testing Council 3 Star and Oppenheimer Toy Portfolio pick) line from New York. It is for girls 8 to 13 years old. Fashion Angels is definitely for the girlie girl. This is perfect for the budding fashionistas and make-up artist. Hey Moms, do you remember filling your notebooks at school with your dress designs sketched out in pencil, squeezed in the margins beside your history notes? The Fashion Angels Design Sketch Book gives a girl the language, terminology, tools, and suggestions for creating hundreds of fabulous outfits. It comes in 3 sizes and focuses on drawing and designing outfits; Fashion Angels Make-up Sketch Book comes in 2 sizes and teaches you how to determine if you have a 'round', 'square' or what-have-you face shape and how to blend colours to suit your complexion. You practice on the re-fillable sketch pads and then on yourself and your friends.
This year there is a new release for the line which includes a digital camera, software and a fabulous guide to creating your own fashion magazine. All for under $80. You can produce your own magazine and even submit samples of your work to http://www.fashionangels.com/ for other girls to see. Go to their site and check it out. The Funky Little Shop has most of the Fashion Angels line in stock right now. It is selling quickly, however, so I wouldn't wait too long.
ROOTS KIDS WATCHES
Funky has had the cheap and cheerful kiddies watches for a long time and Paul Frank watches for a little while. But last week we added the newest watches from ROOTS CANADA designed for the active kid. Some of the ROOTS watches are the girl pink and flowery, but we also were able to snag some of the sportier uni-sex ones including the Hockey watch. Yeah!! With a price point of $34.99 and $44.99 these ROOTS watches seemed like a good deal to us and we're proud to add them to the inventory.
EMILY THE STRANGE Fans
Met a few of you this week as a result of the brief mention in this blog a while back. Apparently EMILY the STRANGE is getting harder to find. We still have Emily the Strange t-shirts and purses. I have to admit, I don't know if I am continuing with Emily but talk to me when you come in and see if you can convince us at The Funky Little Shop to continue.
Ta for now,
Gail and the gang at THE FUNKY LITTLE SHOP.

Webkinz Reindeer flying in soon to The Funky Little Shop (604-682-8404)
Hi to all you Webkinz fans in Vancouver.
Maybe we ought to create a name for ourselves, you know, like how Star Trek fans are 'Trekkies' (does that 'date' me?). How about 'Webbies' (now I'm picturing Google with its webfeet), or Kinzies, or....? Any ideas?
OH, JUST REALIZED I SHOULD MENTION THAT WE ARE CHARGING ONLY $14.99 (plus tax of course) FOR ANY WEBKINZ PET--EVEN THE LIMITED EDITION ONES. This is the 'official' Webkinz price and we will never overcharge you.
JUST ARRIVED
We're stocked up now with the luscious Webkinz Lipgloss. We have Apple, Mango, Banana and Strawberry. Sounds like fruit smoothie time to me. Back in a flash.....
The Webkinz Bookmarks are stocked up again too. At only $1.99 each they make a fabulous 'goodie bag' stuffer. I know you need an active Webkinz account to use their code, but hey, if you give one to a friend in their goodie bag then they have an excellent reason to ask for their own Webkinz Pet if they aren't already introduced to Webkinz World fun.
OUT OF TOWN WEBKIES (how's that for a nickname?)
Feel free to call us at The Funky Little Shop if you need us to mail you a special Webkinz. There is a post office right next door to us in The Kids Market so we'll get your pet in the mail the same day. You can reach us in Vancouver at: 604-682-8404.
OTHER NEWS
Attention PAUL FRANK aficionados (great word, eh, just means people who are fans of something). The Funky Little Shop has this season's Julius and His Pals t-shirts, hoodies, purses, wallets and now, WATCHES. I look at ol' monkey face all day and am becoming fonder of him all the time (watching/looking/time--ha ha, get it?). Stock is limited though so don't wait too long. Again, you can phone us if you know exactly what you are looking for in the PAUL FRANK line.

Webkinz Husky and Raccoon In Stock
Hello again from The Funky Little Shop at Kids Market on Granville Island
Finally! The Webkinz Husky and Raccoon have arrived in the store. They are definitely as cute as their picture. And soft. We are well-stocked now for the holiday season. Except, unfortunately, with the Webkinz charms. We've received two shipments already of the charms but they have all sold out. There are Webkinz purses, knapsacks, necklaces, bracelets, bookmarks, mouse pads and even some glitter spray in stock, but the charms....Ganz tells me that we can't expect a new shipment until the end of November. They're waiting and so we're waiting. But don't worry, The Funky Little Shop will make sure The Kids Market will be one of the first places in Vancouver to get a new shipment.
Meanwhile we do have:
Beagle
Monkey
PigPink Pony
White TerrierYorkie
So that's all I've got time to say today. Hope to see you soon at The Funky Little Shop. Just come down to Granville Island in Vancouver, enter through the front door of The Kids Market and turn left to the far corner. Don't forget you can also call us at 604-682-8404 and have us set aside your favourite Webkinz pet.
