Brentwood Originals Moshi XL Fuschia Hot Pink Microbead Hippo

I've been working to get Google satisfied with all the behind the scenes code for our new Plush Memories Lovie Shoppe. They are very particular about having hidden code in each web page that their bots can read. I'm getting closer to being clear with them. Some of their optional items I can't possibly provide, because we sell used items that just don't have the information they expect.

I used to be able to get an exemption for lovies that did not have all the tag information, but I have not been able to find where to apply for it again.

Anyway, my goal is to list a few lovies every day. We'll see how long I can keep that going. We still have a basement full of unlisted lovies, so I will be at this for a long time. We invite you to come by and check out our lovies.

Store Wide SALE in Progress!!

1985 Springs Performance SWEET DREAMS Pillow People Doll

Do YOU remember the Pillow People?? This large girl is almost like new, even though she's been carefully kept by someone since 1985! She doesn't smell like a cedar chest, but she sure has been lovingly stored. I wish we had some way to know the stories behind all these lovies we find!

We only have one each of many of our lovies, so now that we have the whole store on sale it's best to buy it when you see it!! From vintage lovies to recent toys, you will find a wide variety of soft dolls and stuffed animals. All are used, but many look like new and some even have all the original swing tags.

We've worked hard to make our store inviting and easy to use. So please take a look around!!

Our RESPONSIVE Dirty Butter Plush Animal Shoppe

GUND Heads and Tales Lg White Bear Red Green Plaid Bow

After working hard for the last year to get our software set up the way I wanted it, all our Dirty Butter websites are now what is called "responsive". That means all our websites now should work on mobile devices of all kinds, as well as desktop and laptop computers.

This involves coding in such a way that the page doesn't just get smaller when the screen gets smaller. Instead, the look of the page changes entirely. Sections that are side by side on a big screen end up stacked one on top of another on a small screen. This all happens automatically.

We use CubeCart software for our stores. It is now Open Source software, so anyone can use it without cost. There is certainly a learning curve in customizing the pages, but the results are well worth it. And now, the latest version of CubeCart uses an open source storefront skin based on Foundation. Upgrading to version 6 of CubeCart now provides the means for our Dirty Butter Plush Animal Shoppe to work well on any size phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop.

We invite you to take a look around our new store design. Kick the tires if you like. Please let us know if something needs to be improved to work better on your mobile device.We'll be glad to send you a 10% discount coupon for taking the time to send us your feedback.

RARE FIND - Vintage Plakie Toy HUMPTY DUMPTY

ORIGINAL Plakie Toy Humpty Dumpty Red White Stripe Pillow NM 

It's not very often we find such a rare toy in such wonderful condition.

Plakie Toy was in business in the 50's-70's and this Humpty Dumpty was one of their more popular toys. But, as all such well loved friends tend to get, most would have long since been loved to death.

This one, however, has been very carefully preserved all these years. So Humpty is ready to be loved again by someone who will appreciate him.

Announcing Mobile Access to Our Dirty Butter Plush Catalog

Fisher Price 1987 8050 White Blue Panda Hawaiian Shirt SUNGLASSES

Our Plush Catalog now works for Mobile Access!!

We're putting the finishing touches on a skin for our Plush Catalog that is designed to work not only on your computer, but also on your Smart Phone. We invite you to test drive our site on your phone and help us kick the tires.Let us know about any problems you encounter, and we'll send you a discount code to use on our site.

We've also just become an Affiliate for the shopping cart software we use, CubeCart. When we first bought this software several years ago I didn't know a thing about how to set up a database or use it. I was 100% totally ignorant about the whole process. So we hired a programmer to set up and modify that first CC v3 store for us. Over the last few years I've worked to understand the program, and I am pleased that I was able to install and modify the latest version of CC 5 all by myself.

I can't promise that you won't need help setting things up - that depends on whether or not you've had any prior experience with this type of software - but once it's up and running it saves a lot of time, eliminates a lot of human error, and provides a professional look to your business.

So if you're thinking about starting your own web storefront, or if you are looking for a new eCommerce software solution, I can recommend CubeCart.

Our Business AND Our Christian Beliefs

We have been selling plush animals and soft dolls online for about 7 years. And we've been running our free Plush Memories Lost Toy Search Service about that long. If we don't have something in stock in our catalog we offer to help find it. So we get a fair number of people who found a particular out of stock lovie in our catalog and write asking for help locating one.

If I can't find it, then I reply via email asking for a story about why it is important and why they are looking for it, so I can post it on our Search Service.

Sounds simple enough, right? Well, here's the "hitch". We have always considered our Search Service to be our Christian Ministry, so there is a prominently placed scripture verse near the top of the online page. And all our emails have signatures that include scripture verses. I decided last year that I no longer wanted to sign my emails with just Merry Christmas during December.

So here are some examples of my email sigs:

May you and your family enjoy the Blessings of Jesus in this holy time of year,

OR

May you have a Christ filled Christmas,

Rosemary

“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:10-11 KJV

This week someone who had asked for help finding an out of stock catalog item wrote me back after I'd written her, using a sig similar to one of these. She said she wanted me to delete all her correspondence with us. She explained that she had not realized she was dealing with some religious cult and did not want to use our service.

I replied that I had done as she asked and had deleted all our correspondence, but I wanted her to know that we are Christians who belong to a Southern Baptist Church.

I've heard the term "War on Christmas" lately on talk radio, and I've certainly seen a drastic reduction in the number of clerks who wish us a "Merry Christmas" at the checkout counter. And I imagine we've lost business in the past because of our prominent scripture verses.

But this is the first time someone went out of their way to point out how weird they thought we were.

Brentwood MOSHI Elephant

Brentwood MOSHI XL Blue Pink Lying Down Elephant 

The gold standard of Microbead lovies are those made by Brentwood Originals, and we are very pleased to have a beautiful blue lying down MOSHI elephant for sale right now in our catalog. These squishy lovies are a favorite of young children, who find them to be very cuddly. And they are very hard to find!

Check out the prices of the various XL Brentwood MOSHI animals on eBay, and you'll see they run as high as $100. We try to price all our lovies competitively, so you're not likely to find one in very good condition for less than ours.

Do You Remember PJ Sparkles Dolls & Sparklins Pets?

Mattel 1989 PJ Sparkles SPARKLINS Pink Stars Rabbit 

If you're in your 30's or 40's you may have loved a PJ Sparkles doll, or maybe had one of her pets. Mattel's ad slogan for the dolls was, "Hug me and I light up with love!". The Sparklins pets all had glow in the dark stars covering their satin bodies, and they had a removable glow in the dark plastic necklace that the child could wear as a bracelet.

We now have a Mattel 1989 plush 12 inch PJ Sparkles Pet SPARKLINS pink satin rabbit in our catalog. She has cream satin lining in her ears and a pink sparkly fur hair tuft with a pink shiny Mylar hair bow. She has a sweet white knit face with large plastic eyes, a blush on her cheeks, and a pink plastic nose.

Put her under a strong light for a while, then take her in the dark, and you're in for a surprise. Not only does her body light up with stars, but her sleepy eyes glow, too!

Why not take a look down memory lane and check out her pictures in our catalog.

Eden Vintage White Giraffe Moves Plays AROUND the WORLD in 80 DAYS

Eden Vintage White Giraffe Moves Plays AROUND the WORLD in 80 DAYS

We finally have the newest version of our catalog software running fairly smoothly. There are still a few glitches we haven't been able to fix yet, but the site is working. So I now have the time to start back to adding some of the many plush lovies we have in stock.

I'm very excited to be able to offer a vintage Eden musical white giraffe for sale. She has a pink, blue, and yellow yarn loop mane and matching yarn tail. Her horns are soft terry cloth. When the metal key on the body is wound, the head slowly moves, and it plays Around the World in 80 Days.

Did you have a windup lovie like this giraffe when you were little? Do you still have your childhood toy, or have you thought about looking for one like it?

New Catalog is ONLINE!

Commonwealth XL Jumbo Love Pink Lavender Elephant

This Jumbo Love elephant is a favorite collectible of children of the 80's. Many of these grownups are now searching for their childhood toys, and these over sized lovies seem to be at the top of the list. Contact us if you're interested in buying it, as we'll consider any reasonable offer.

It's taken several months of intense learning, lots of trial and error (about the only way I know how to learn anything), and lots of time, but I've finally managed to upgrade our old catalog to the new version 5 of the CubeCart software I use. The cart program developers did a complete rework of code from the ground up, so I had to learn the software all over again. In the process of debugging, I also learned a whole lot about the php programming language, as well as understanding MySQL databases. I even learned a little bit about Apache. Unless you're a nerd I know none of that meant anything to you, but it makes me feel very proud of myself that I can still learn how to do such things.

There are still some bugs to be ironed out, both by the software developers, and by me on our site, so if you take a look around and find something that doesn't seem to work quite right I'd appreciate a quick email.

Henrietta Needs Someone to Love

We found this beautifully preserved Henrietta dog today, and I couldn't wait to put it in our catalog. She's missing her hair bows and neck bow and has a tiny open seam that could easily be repaired. Other than that she looks brand new. That wouldn't be so surprising, but this dog is 36 years old!

There's no cedar chest smell, so I can't help but wonder where she's been all these years. For a vintage toy that has been so carefully stored for so long, there has to be an interesting story about why it ended up at the Thrift Store.

Someone is going to be very happy to get this favorite childhood lovie! And she's going to be loved again.

CubeCart Upgrade to Version 5 Problems

CubeCart version 5 turned out to be harder to upgrade than we had expected. Part of our problem with trying to upgrade to v5 was all the old code lingering all the way back to version 3. So, Our programmer has made a clean install of v4.5 CubeCart, and he's going to use that until v5 is less buggy.

It's been very frustrating, for sure. But I learned a lot about MySQL databases and a good bit about CubeCart 5.

Playing with Cube Cart Version 5

I have been learning a little bit about how MySQL data bases are set up, how to install CubeCart, and was actually able to install a test version of the newest version of CubeCart to play with. I wasn't able to figure out how to copy our running CubeCart v4 data and upgrade to v5, but I did make a clean install of v5. So I've been able to test it out to some extent, and I'm very pleased with the way it works.

So, I've told our programmer to go ahead with the upgrade to v5 for our store whenever he has the time to do it.

All in all I'm pretty pleased with what I was able to do on my own. Of course, he won't be using anything I did. I'll just delete the data base and files I created, but I learned a lot in the process.

CubeCart Version 4 Upgrade Continues

We're still working on the upgrade to version 4 of CubeCart for our catalog. It's going to take a while to get everything working just the way I want it to, although our programmer has made great progress already!

We're filling orders and have mailed quite a few lovies since the changes, so we're glad we made this upgrade.

ALABAMA TORNADO Plush Lovies DISCOUNT

The tornadoes that swarmed through Alabama, our home state, have been devastating. We were fortunate to be missed, but many have been left homeless and over 200 are dead.

Alabamians from all over are working to help with bottled water, food, diapers, and other necessities.

So, we want to help the little ones who have lost all their lovies.

Anyone who mails to an Alabama Shipping Address through June 30 should use ALABAMA as the DISCOUNT CODE to get 50% OFF their order from Dirty Butter Plush Animal Shoppe.

Please forward this information to anyone you know who has family in Alabama who may need help replacing a lovie. If the child was fortunate enough to not be in the path of the tornado, we encourage the buyer to donate the other half to Disaster Relief.

If we don't have what they need in stock, they can contact us at our FREE Plush Memories Lost Toy Search Service, and they will get TOP PRIORITY help.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV

Our Catalog is Back in Action!

Our Dirty Butter Plush Animal Shoppe is back up and running, thank goodness. We still seem to be having a lot of people who can't get the Basket to work properly, so our programmer is going to upgrade us to CubeCart v4 soon. We had to be sure all the hosting issues were resolved before we started thinking about such a major change, though.

Hopefully that will take care of this very frustrating issue, as we feel sure we're losing orders because of it.

We're using CC version 3 right now, which is free, but if paying for the latest version gets us more orders, it will be worth it!

Vintage 50's - 60's Vinyl Head Cloth Body Hand Puppets - KING FRIDAY

King Friday and Queen Sara from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe are just two of a lot of vintage vinyl head cloth body hand puppets we have for sale right now. There's also a clown head I'm reasonably sure is a Bozo clown.

The cloth is in better shape on some than on the others, but all the heads are as close to perfect as you're likely to find for a child's puppet that is 50 years old or more! Since they are collectibles, I've not attempted to clean them in any way. A few do have some soil on the heads that really looks like it would just wash off.

Even if you're not interested in purchasing one of these, why not take a walk down memory lane and take a look at these old friends. If you recognize any of these puppets and know what their names are or anything about them, I'd love to hear from you!
