I love cute things.
Maybe it’s because I grew up in Tokyo, Japan: home of Hello Kitty, Super Mario, and world capital of all things super-cute. In any case, I now own the five most adorable animal figurines on what I’m pretty sure is the face of the entire planet.
It’s all thanks to my funny friend, Sarah.
We have a strange tradition of giving each other Easter presents instead of Christmas gifts (her idea). Last year she presented me with a hideous stuffed longhorn, and I’ve been making fun of her for it ever since. (The stuffed longhorn currently resides in my closet. Batman is terrified of it!) This year, Sarah promised she’d get me something much cuter. And I have no idea where she found them, but she was definitely true to her word:

Aren’t they fun? Apparently the company—Home Grown Foods—also makes a cabbage puppy, mushroom lion, carrot goldfish, parsnip giraffe, cantaloupe turtle, kiwi koala… I might have to go back and get more! Close ups:
Banana Puppy!
I could so turn him into Chocolate-Chip Banana Bread.
What do you think? Too weird?
  
I named the purple guy John Lennon.
The rest still need monikers… suggestions??
Ooh look: Cauliflower Chicken Nuggets!
Yum yum yum…
Speaking of things that are cute…

So which of the animal figurines is YOUR favorite?
I can’t seem to choose… If I must choose a favorite, I’ll go with the corn rabbit. No, the cauliflower sheep. Or the banana dog. Or… See? I can’t choose.
OMG! That cauliflower sheep is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My fav is the cauliflower sheep, probably because it really does look like a sheep. So clever:)
The sheep is too cute!!
I like the puppy and the bunny best. Then it would be the walrus! <3
But I love them all, like you do! So cute!!! 🙂
The bunny is my fave! banana puppy comes in a close second, though.
Grape walrus for sure! I need to send that to a friend. Though I want to see this cabbage puppy and mushroom lion too…
Also, I live in Japan too! About an hour east of Tokyo. How long did you live here??? It definitely is the land of cute.
4 years 🙂
The banana dog is absolutely ADORABLE!!! its soooooo cute ! i want one!
i like the banana dog the best but they are all so adorable
Haha! I’m going to say banana dog OR John Lennon. (<– Never thought I'd write that sentence in my life!). It looks like the sheep has a mushroom head, so maybe she should have a mushroom cauliflower combi-name. I'm thinking: Mrs. Shiitake Flowers
Adorable! I think my favourite is either banana dog OR John Lennon. (<– never thought I'd write that sentence!).
The cauliflower sheep looks like she has a mushroom head, so I think she should have a combi-name. Maybe… Mrs. Shiitake Flowers?
I love Cory from Zesty Blog Consulting! He just redd my entire website. I love my new design and would also recommend him to ANYONE for tech assistance or help with little anoying questions (i had plenty!).
i love those cauliflower sheep. too cute!
awwwwwwww I can’t decide at all which is my favourite! I love cute things, too. I don’t think I’ll ever grow up 🙂 I kinda wanna collect these guys now! lol
These are seriously adorable! I really like the hens and the sheep. They remind me of a series of books that takes real vegetables (and some fruit) and turns them into animals; there is minimal text to tell a story, with the vegetable-animals taking the main stage. The original book is called Playing with Your Food, and there are a few more books that follow – one is entirely about dogs made out of veggies. They are really clever, plus kids like them because they’re brightly colored and fun. So cute!
Yes this DEFINITELY wins cutest post! I love the grape walrus, it’s got a total derp face 🙂
I love the look on the chicken’s face! Soooo cute!
