lolamae04 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Hey there! I've been using PinPics since 2020 and just discovered this introductions forum! My name is Lauren and I live in Minnesota (but hoping to move somewhere warm like sunny Orlando)! I have totally random collections, but I mainly focus on princesses in sparkly dresses, Nemo and friends, attractions, Lion King, Disney dogs, and any pins with ocean animals! I've been collecting and trading since I was 6 years old. P.S. If you're in the Midwest and interested in a pin trading meet-up event, please comment so I can gauge interest! There's not a whole lot of pin trading events around here, so I'd like to start one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicksMaster Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Welcome, Lauren! I live in La Crescent, MN right across the river from La Crosse, WI. Molly is right that there is a Twin Cities Pin Trading Meet every other month in the Twin Cities. The next one is Saturday, May 18th. The cost is just $5 per person/$10 per family to defray the cost of renting the room. If you are interested, I will put you in touch with the organizers of the meet. It is great to know that there are more people like me in Minnesota. I mostly collect Orange Bird, Dwarfs (especially Dopey) and Winnie the Pooh and friends (especially Eeyore and Piglet) but I have lots of other things in my collection. Feel free to email me at terrymicks@gmail.com. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
