What's This??? A Grail Pin??? Yipee!!!

Yay!!! I have one of my grails in my grasp!!! :drool: I am so very excited!!!

After moving back to Indiana, I met an amazing guy! Things are going great and he treats me like a prince! I feel like I just may have met the one!

He is not a pin collector, but is taking more and more interest in my hobby which is REALLY awesome! He actually likes looking at the pins and is all about me continuing with the hobby…not to mention help me find cool pins and such. I even catch him, from time to time, searching eBay to see what new Jessica has been listed! He renovated a room in his house so I can FINALLY do my Jessica Rabbit themed room!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!! I have part of it done, have a bit to work on still, and am constantly seeking out period furniture to put in the room!

After about a month into seeing each other, I found one of my grail pins on the Bay! This pin is one I have been seeking since I laid eyes on the beautiful thing, but have NEVER seen it listed for sale anywhere before this time! This pin was originally sold as a LE 500 set with a snow globe; I even went as far as messaging every seller with the snow globe on eBay to see if the pin was still with the globe to no avail! It is such a gorgeous pin!!! :drool: Well, there it was, the original set of both snow globe AND pin, sitting on the screen in front of me!!! I was amazed! I WANT this pin SO SO SO BAD!!! Unfortunately, though not a bad price AT ALL for the combo, it was FAR out of my price range! I still watched it, as us pin addicts would do, and was very saddened when I saw someone had bid on it! I thought for sure that the one time I found my grail pin for sale, it was still going to elude me!!!

Well…

I came home to find a present for me one day!!! I opened it and was astounded!!! This amazing man got me my GRAIL!!!! Now to show it off!!!

I did manage to get this pin framed because, being a grail, it was being framed ALONE! :lol:

Here is the second part of this thread. This portion is NOT pin related, however it does deal with my love for Jessica, and in a way was a new addition to my Jessica collection…a quite permanent one at that! It also was a gift from my new guy, so I figured that also makes it suitable for this thread!

Hope you all like! Here it is:



(Don't Mind My Fat! :sad


And no :rofl: I did not get the same tat on both arms as Moe and Rebecca thought (and I am sure many of you will also), it is just how the photos were taken (one by me in the mirror, the other two by the man)! I am Jessica crazy, not just plain crazy!!! :lol:
