Fun Monday’s host this week is Mariposa and here is the assignment she gave us:
“We all have them…and if you don’t, you do….you just may not realize it. For some reason or another we all collect something and we collect it for reasons that will definitely make for good reading. So on Monday, I want to see your collection.”
So, I present to you- my collections. I am starting upstairs in my living room.
I love Precious Moments, so here is part of my collection of Precious Moments. The ones on the top shelf were used on our wedding cake- that’s the bride and groom in the middle with the attendants and each side.
And, here are some more Precious Moments. Be careful not to look too closely because there may or may not be some cobwebs forming.
I also have a collection of tea cups that belonged to my grandmother.
Moving on now to my family room downstairs:
Please shield your eyes from the terrible paneling that we have in our family room. Here is part of my collection of Boyd’s Bears.
Here are some more of my Boyd’s Bears. I actually have lots more Boyd’s Bears but since we have only lived here for 4 1/2 YEARS I haven’t had time to finish unpacking all of the boxes yet.
Visit Mariposa to see more Fun Monday participants.

Those are cute collections. I would have had to take pictures of dust piles or laundry….I’m pretty sure that is all I collect right now!

You have lovely collections. I totally understand the delay in unpacking. There are only so many hours in a day.

HAH! 4 1/2 years is not NEAR enough time to have finished unpacking!!
You have very cool collections. Bet it is hard to keep them dusted though.
Thanks for sharing.

You have instantly brought back memories of my grandmother. She loved Precious Moments as well and had quite the collection. Hmmm…I wonder what happened to all of those…

Cute collections! I can totally relate to that paneling. I covered ours up with a tunscanny toned wall covering because I couldn’t stand to look at it anymore but didn’t have the willpower to do new drywall.

I also love teacups–especially one of a kind. We have a store in Louisville that has Boyd Bears galore–better not visit!
