Memorial Day Weekend Recap
Hello all and Happy Memorial Day! I hope many of you are enjoying an extra day off today. We are blessed to have a super unseasonably cool weekend upon us to actually enjoy. (Well, for someone like me!) When you have to wear a jacket on walks, I say it's a victory given how many Memorial Days we've spent drenched in flop sweat. So I am going to enjoy the cool spell while I can. We had a ton of rainy, cold days which were good for my soul but my newly planted veggies and flowers weren't necessarily happy about it. Whoops! The first hint of sun they got was Friday so I'm sure they were happy to know they could actually get some sun instead of thinking they lived in London. I have mentioned our a-hole squirrels/chipmunks around here and I saw one sniffin' around the zinnias in the side bed so what did I have to do? Obviously I can't have them there forever but until they're not as wee, I think they should be helpful. I had a delig...
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.
