On my visit to the Shedd Aquarium
in Chicago last September, I went into three different shops, one of them
twice, or maybe there were only two shops and I hit one of them three times.
Each time I found penguin items that I missed on the earlier visits. I ended up
with a penguin cooking spoon rest, a penguin t-shirt, penguin shorts and three
penguin Christmas tree ornaments. Check out the other two ornaments in the last
two older posts in case you missed them. This one wasn’t unique to the aquarium
or marked with the Shedd name in any way. I was surprised to find a Merck
penguin that I didn’t already own, because I see them a lot and try to keep up
with the new ones as they come out. They are escellent ornaments, usually
small, but decorated nicely with an old-fashioned look. My labels list
indicates I only have three Mercks, but I’m pretty sure it’s a lot more than that.
