Yesterday, I headed down to the much talked-about Pacific Pin Club Pin Show. The place (Capital Hill Community Hall) was pretty small, but it was very crowded & bustling with activity for the 2 hours or so that I was there walking around & trading!
I managed to trade for some pretty cute pins today.. here they are! hehe
Limited Edition Mascot Family boxed set | Quatchi Back to School | Mascot Vacation Van
Quatchi & Miga Christmas sled [Limited Ed.: <5000] | VANOC Internal Torch Relay Miga Media Pin [Limited Ed.: <2000] | RBC Vancouver–Beijing Dragon Bridge Pin [Limited Ed.: <5000]
Samsung: Quatchi & Miga with OMNIA II phone
BCLC skiing | Sleep Country mascots | German media ARD 2DF
igwear Olympic pin | Candidate City bid pin | Saputo Quatchi Bronze
On another note, although I’ve heard that the Red Mittens with Torch pin is THE iconic pin of this Olympics, I wasn’t really keen on getting it until after seeing this vid:
Since it’s currently sold out in stores, I bought it off someone on Craigslist today!
Here it is, with another pin I traded for today, & a RBC pin I got today too:

Hey Sylvia,
Thanks for letting me know about this event! I might drop by if it fits my Sat scheduling plans.
Looks like pin collecting & trading is getting pretty big in Vancouver these days!
