I can has anteater?
Yes. Yes, I can.

In other news, remember the blogging deal F&SF runs occasionally? Sometimes they have extra copies, they post on their website that they have them, and bloggers can have freebies if they promise to write about the issue? I am holding, in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers, the July 2008 issue of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. I haven't actually dug into it just yet, other than one story (which was delightful), but as soon as I'm done reading it, you'll hear about it.

Also, they sent me a link to a special subscription offer for bloggers, which they said to feel free to pass around, so this is me, passing it around. $27.97 for a year, which is $7 off the normal subscription price. And the normal subscription price saves you $16 off the newsstand price already, so...yeah. I sort of jumped on that with both feet, because (a) I enjoy the magazine, and (b) it's always a good idea to see what a market you're subbing to on a regular basis is actually buying.

Cute anteater? Do you display in a curio or open shelves? And how large is your collection?

I display on open bookshelves, three of them for the non-Oaxacan ones. One is the very top of the bookcase, where the plushies and larger ones are, one is the top shelf, with my Terhune books, and the other is the next one down from that and has just anteaters, no books. Right next to that I have a little telephone table and a wall shelf with the Oaxacan and a few others that display well with the Oaxacan--I like to put Harmony Kingdom boxes with my Eleazar Morales carvings, for example.

I have over sixty anteaters in the collection, and most of it can be seen here, although I'm slightly behind on taking pix of the collection. :)

I love the tactile quality of the tagua pieces, and the Oaxacan pieces are flamboyantly fun.
