About the author 

Love My Beanies

  • I have a Pouch kangaroo beanie baby with a swing tag for the Bones (a dog i believe) beanie baby instead. Is that worth anything? The tush tag is correct however.

  • I have a Princess Diana 1997 beanie that has a comma in the open space between Uk and Canada on swing tag. Very noticeable and probably unique. I checked the tush tag and there is no inspection stamp inside. Would like to hear if any others have been found.
