Disney Pin Haul

One of the things I like to collect and trade is Disney Pins. I've been collecting for around 10 years now and have only recently started to purchase them on Ebay. The pins I'm about to show I have purchased over the past 4 months either on Ebay or from Disney World itself. These pins are not for sale or trade.

This Aristocats pin was part of a DisneyLand 2010 hidden Mickey series which featured 5 pins each showcasing characters from the film. This pin shows Marie, Berlioz, Toulouse. I love the Aristocats film and the kittens in particular. I bought this pin on Ebay from the seller debbie7073 and it was delivered earlier than expected.

This pin was originally sold on the Disney UK website and it LE of 800. I usually don't buy Winnie the Pooh pins but I thought this was so adorable with the saying. I also bought this pin on Ebay from seller kidneyboy11.

I bought this pin after recently watching The Little Mermaid (for the first time either ever or for over 10 years). It features Ariel and Eric in a flower frame which is so pretty! I like how they are dressed in what they wore when they first met. I bought this pin from juliaellietate* on Ebay.

This pin is probably my favourite out of the ones I've purchased recently as this Springtime Minnie reminds me of Mary Poppins. This cast member pin is an LE of 3014 and originates from DLP. This pin along with the next three pins were all bought on Ebay from the seller mainstreet.trading who I have felt really happy purchasing from.

This Meeko pin again originates from DisneyLand Paris and was released on a pin trading day in 2013 as an LE of 500. I bought this pin and the next pin after watching Pocahontas for the first time and falling in love with Meeko's character. 

This LE of 600 pin was released on the same day as the one above and features both Pocahontas and Meeko with a dangle feature. 

This 2014 pin is LE 600 and I really liked the retro feel. Lady and the Tramp is not one of my favourite films but I do love the characters. 

These two pins I asked my dad to get for me whilst he was in Florida and they were 2 of the Christmas 2014 pins. I was really attracted to the vintage feel and how the ribbon allows you to turn it into an ornament. 

When I saw this Russian doll collection online I was super excited and its one of very few collections that I've actually wanted to collect all of the pins. I bought 5 mystery bags each containing 5 pins and I got them all except for Cinderella! How annoying, needless to say I have quite a few doubles to trade with. 

This pin is my most recent purchase off of Ebay from theotortoise and features Ariel on the Art Of Animation Christmas pin. I was really pleased to find this pin as I love the purple/blue snowflake that it features my favourite princess.

So that's my pin haul from the past couple of months. Over the next couple of months I hope to sell some of my pins on ebay and maybe even get into Instagram pin trading!

I filmed a video over on my YouTube channel talking about these pins, which you can see below. 

Until next time, Sophie x

Its a pin thing.

One thing I collect is Disney pins and pins in general. I have been collecting for about 10 years now so as you can imagine my collection is quite big(or what I feels big for someone living in the UK as appose to the USA). I keep all my pins on 3 cork boards and thought I'd share every now and again some of my favourite pins.

Today I have picked 5 Disney ones however in future I will share some of my Non Disney ones.

1. This is probably my favourite and most treasured pin! One of my favourite attractions at Walt Disney World is the "Carousel Of Progress", its a "ride" (if you can call it that) that not only offers about 20 minutes of air conditioned seating but takes you through the evolution of technology and family life in various decades from 1800 up to "modern day" (although this could be updated). Im still not 100% sure why it appeals to me so much as its not the most popular of attractions and it does frighten me that maybe in 10-20 years it might not still be there. I think when I was a child I was fascinated that the seats moved around the stage and the really catchy theme song "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow"and now its just become a nostalgic memory. Now before I go into even greater lengths about the attraction lets get back to the pin! This pin was part of the "Piece of Disney History 3" collection. It was limited edition (3500)and in the clear glass bubble contains small bits of feather from the a audio-animatromic bird that features in the attraction. I bought this pin of Ebay and actually collected the pin and met the dealer who was helping her son sell his pins as he was no longer interested in them.

2. This pin I got very early on in my collection, my dad would go on business trips to the USA and brought me back 6 from this stamp collection. This one sticks out most to me though as I remember wearing it one year for my birthday due to the design of the pin. This collection came out in 2006 and was a collaboration between Disney and the US Postal Service.

3.This stitch pin came out in 2006 and I believe there are a few variations that were made, or at least this is what i've seen on Pin Pics. Again this was one of my very first pins and I just think its adorable!

4. This Mary/Minnie Poppins pin (what a mouthful!) Is one of my most recent additions which I got last summer in Florida. I got it at a flea market, which can definitely be a questionable source to buy from, however I do believe this is a real pin unlike some others I annoyingly purchased there. Mary Poppins is my favourite Disney film so I love this pin. It was part of a carousel set and I believe there is a matching Bert/Mickey pin! Its LE of 1600 and came out in 2008.

5.This final pin of Minnie came out in 2008 (and I think is still available), I got this one as its just so realistic to how my mornings look! I love this design so much I have also got the matching mug!

I love collecting Pins and would love to share more of my collection in the future!
