I have always been a stuffed toy freak. Basically animals. What do you like to collect. Here is my collection. The big kids sit on the bed as you can see and then they wee ones get that fabulous shelf to hang about. the blue bags with names on them are some of the familie's ashes, but hey, they need a place too. The guys in front of my books haven't found their permenet home yet and the bunnies and the chick usually come out for spring celebrations.
My origional family of stuffed animals started when I was very young. They have all fallen a part since them and believe it or not most of the ones I have now I have bought for myself over the years. The oldest one I have I got as a present when I was 15.
I have many little collectables all over my house, cows , roosters, Dutch Blue Delft things, many kitties, but most of them where gifts from people over the years. My stuffed guys are the only things that I actually buy for myself. Any where I go when I travel, I just must bring back a stuffed guy. To me that is what collecting is. Something you love that you do for yourself.
So what about you?
Susan
