I WOULD post this on the trades/wants board, but it doesn't look like it's visited a lot, so.......

Thanksgiving week, (2008), I went to Disney with my mom, my dad, 4 of my cousins, 2 of my aunts, and one uncle. It was all great except Thanksgiving Day. Well, about 98% of that day was fun. The other 2% involved a pin I traded.

Just get over it, you're thinking, right? Well, no, I can't. Because after I traded it I realized that is was the first pin I got after I got the starter set. And what's worse, I traded it for a pin I could've gotten anywhere (it was one of the new starters). I cried. Twice, I think. I went back to place where I traded it, (the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Fastpass..... thing :laughing: ) and looked to see if the guy was stll there. He was, but the pin wasn't on his lanyard. :sad1:

My parents got me a new one for Christmas, but it's not the same. The replacement's never as good as the original............

You know what's coming, right? I hope so, because I don't exactly know how to ask you :goodvibes

It was a tinkerbell pin. It's a jean heart, (like blue jeans), with Tinkerbell on the right side. She's in a position like she's blowing pixie dust. In the heart it says "Tinkerbell" in pink cursive letters. Around the name it has green and pink stars all around it. But my pin, it had a dark area near Tinkerbell and "bell". I'll try to get a picture.

You don't HAVE to, of course.And also of course, you don't have to spend your whole vacation looking for a pin for a girl you don't even know. Go to Disney. Have fun. Glance at a person or two's lanyard. If you do, and you find it, and you trade it, and you give it to me (somehow) I couldn't thank you enough.

Thanks for reading, and, hunting.

(I'm a little scared to post this, just knowing what some people might say....)
 
I hope you can find it, but how would you know its your original?
 
Well, it has a darker area, like it's a stain or something, near tinkerbell and the "bell" part of the name.

I also see NOBODY with this pin, not even the big pin collecters.
 

If you cold find the pin on PinPics and post its # (along with whatever made your particular pin different), that would be helpful.

There's an auction for that pin right now on EBay. Just put "Tink denim heart pin" into the EBay search engine.

PS - Probably not *your* pin, but still...might make a nice substitute.
 
Your picture isn't showing up, all I can see is some letters & numbers with a jepg after it, (but then again I don't understand pics other than putting
around the "web address").

My mom did that and gave me the replacement for Christmas. It was really nice of her, but the replacement is never, and I mean never when I say never, like the original.
