Boring Weekend Recap
source Monday, we meet again. You come on like lightning you saucy wench. I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool. We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun. I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to. The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart. The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise. It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know. It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay. He is.) Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...
GI Joe figures was a big one that I really got into as a kid but pretty much completely gave up at some point and never really looked back. I also collected Star Wars figures but I still have some of those vintage ones so can't say I ever stopped with those.
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated with eagles in high school and into college, and collected statures, pictures, etc. I still like them, but somewhere along the way realized I had enough. I still have quite a few hanging out here, but I don't add to my collection.
ReplyDeleteIn high school I used to collect cows and cow printed stuff. I think I got rid of it all during a cross-country move. The only thing I collect now are handmade boxes and/or Christmas ornaments from countries where I have travelled.
ReplyDeleteI collected some Dalmatian stuff when I was younger, but the bigger collecting started when we moved into this house. My husband discovered Yahoo Auctions at the time and I started finding Longaberger stuff that both of us liked. Well, then I learned about Ebay and between the two sites, all bets were off. I know have a basement FILLED with baskets, pottery, linens, etc of Longaberger. Last fall I was dropping something off in a friend's trunk and I ended up giving her all the boxes of Longaberger holiday dishes. She loves the stuff but would never accept anything as a gift. Well, she had no choice now because I told her I wasn't bringing all that back into my home! LOL Another thing I collected were the Fitz and Floyd Mice figuirines. I just love those little guys and had boxes upon boxes. I think I only have a handful now though as I sold most of them on Ebay.
ReplyDeleteCount me in on the Dalmatians and Longaberger collections. When we moved back to PA from FL we divested of all of it - and I just breathe easier knowing it's not all stashed in the basement.
