I rather liked this solemn little one on the right......I have never seen them with sullen expression.
Perhaps there was a rogue doll maker in the factory
who put frowns on all the little ones.........
Juggling pins........because you never know when the mood will strike...
Seashells are so interesting.
I also collect the tackiest tourist thing of all time...
The Snow Globe...
I will show you my collection one day
Seashells on anything......boxes, plant pots
And Cubbies to put them in......
What sorts of things do you collect????
I love collecting rare and meaningful items! Your shells are lovely.

ReplyDeleteA number of years ago, I happened to admire a little hummel figurine...the family latched onto this idea and suddenly I had 15! I'm not a collector, so I put them all away in a box, but now, some years on, I take one out at a time, sometimes seasonally, sometimes to decorate a table for dinner. I have my collection of one, the little baker boy, standing next to my stove at present.
ReplyDeleteI love the bowling pins - lovely shape and patina on the wood. They have real character.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has a few babushka dolls - one is mine which I bought years ago and two of her own which she bought when we went on a trip to Prague a few years ago. They had shop after shop of these dolls so she chose two and they each have ten dolls inside - the smallest one is smaller than a pea! She loves opening them all up.
I collect seaglass, jugs and bowls. We can't go to a beach without me looking for some and every whenever I come home with a new jug or bowl my husband says "oh, a bowl - good - we needed another one!".
Lovely collections x

I've never been a collector - probably because I don't like a lot of clutter - but I somehow have two collections that happened by accident. One is angels. People just started giving me angels, I guess because I love them and am interested in them. And the other one is teapots - not very exciting looking teapots since we got the collection in our efforts to find a teapot that would make 2 mugs of tea and didn't drip - not an easy task. Now I kind of wish I had some more interesting teapots!
ReplyDeleteAm loving those juggling pins. Gorgeous texture and color. Vintage scales are my weakness ♥. Postal, kitchen, egg scales. Love old advertisments, crate labels, etc. Small collection of old country store jars (Tom's Peanuts, etc.) Ooh I could go on, but that's enough of a peek into my obsessions :D

Chania, you are one fun and interesting gal! I love to think about what are collections say about us...I love your bowling pins.
ReplyDeleteI collect old silver baby spoons, jars and perhaps I have way too many straw hats. :)
Have a great day!

Love the juggling pins. And, of course, you know I love shells so that I like your collection is a given! I have several different types of collections but I try to keep my collections within reason. I would love to see your snow globe collection and hope you post about it soon.
