I have a yellow toad named Balompié. He sits on the edge of my rinse bowl and sometimes chills in the bottom as I fill up the bowl. I can feel his maker’s thumb contour when I perch him on my own thumb.

Iz cute.

My first teapet is one of these frogs in green. I named him Henry because he just looked like a Henry. I had originally planned on buying a larger tea pet but my tea tray is quite small and so this frog fits quite perfectly on. I’m seriously thinking about getting Henry a friend!

I have a family of these frogs, and I absolutely love them! When Crimson Lotus posted a photo of them on twitter I knew I had to have one…and then a pair…and then five. Yours truly had been hunting a perfect froggy tea pet for quite a while, but since I have limited space, I needed it to be somewhat small, and these guys are perfect. I love that each one has a stamp from the creator (one even has a tiny bit of a finger print) and holes, so if I want to take them on an adventure I can string them on a cord and wear them as a necklace.

I saw “I have a family of these frogs” and squealed because I have frogs. But mine are not tea frogs. :D
