Ready for a Quiz?

Oh a new day, a new listing! I added a couple of new items to my etsy shop (http://www.weeknit.etsy.com/) last night. I'd like to show them off to you, but first I must dazzle you with my wit so that you will not only look at today's items but check back for tomorrow's shameless plug as well. (Hint: The first item features a red fuzzy fellow that resides on a famous street. The second item revolves around a purple dinosaur that tots adore and teens abhor.)

Now, I'm guessing that many of you immediately knew the two characters to whom I am referring. Yes, I must admit my two darling daughters have me in PBS overload. (In an attempt to cut back on expenses, hubby and I cut back to basic, and I mean BASIC, cable. PBS is the only choice my girls have as far as children's programming goes.) So here's my question to you - are you too in PBS overload? Take my short quiz and find out.

Imaginary Pals Finger Puppet Set

Your little ones will love playing with our Sesame Street pal look-a-likes. This set includes six finger puppets. These puppets resemble Oscar the Grouch, Ernie, Big Bird, Bert, Cookie Monster, and of course Elmo!

Barney's Easter Stories Finger Puppet and Book Set - Limited Supply

This set contains five of our darling finger puppets (A Little Girl, Baby Bop, Barney, B.J., and a Little Boy) and the book "Barney's Favorite Easter Stories".This book contains two Easter tales in one book. Your kids are sure to enjoy playing with these puppets as Barney and his friends attend an Easter parade and venture out on an egg hunt.

We are always excited when we happen on some books to pair our puppets up with. However, we usually purchase these books a few at a time. For that reason, these books are usually only available in limited quanities and once they're gone, we're out.
