I have a collection of egg cups - some I love and then some that sweet peole gave me along the way that are a little mundane but the thought of my collection was their. I am always on the look out for really unusual ones ! My favorite one is in the shape of a lady's head and the egg forms the top of her bun. I love you bears the best I think ! Here's to sweet little things that make us smile.
Hi Snap, Getting caught up with you after way too much gardening here in the Mts! Collections are a wonderful way of personalizing and telling a story about your interests. I think they make a space more interesting (except when it's time to dust...). I'm glad Mr Dragon is doing well. Don't melt in the heat!
Your bird S&P sets are so pretty! I love little things so I have lots of little collections..glass birds, dishes shaped like vegetables, beleek china pieces that have shmrocks on them, small Delft china pieces,and lots of books! :-) Happy Mosaic Monday
Look at all your cute little twosomes! Love it. I collect bird houses and baskets!

Well, it started you a cute little collection, didn't it? :) I love all of these salt and peppers! I love the Roosters and chicks myself. Thank you so much for popping in to see me. Be a sweetie, Shelia ;)
What fun to collect S&P shakers. My grandmother collected them- wish I had all of them now! Back when I was a kid, I just saw them as silly knick-knacks. LOL Love your set of roosters in blue/white. Thanks for stopping by from Mary's blog. ~Sue
Hi! I have "small" collections of a few things...S&P Shakers, tea cups and tea pots, & musical snow globes! My paternal grandma had a huge collection of S&P shakers and she allowed us grandkids and other relatives to choose a few, at her 90th birthday party! I took about 3 pair, which I cherish!
I collect Goddess statues. I didn't mean to but it just happened. One day I realized I had a collection. Now I add to it whenever I find a statue I like. Oh yes, I also collect religious 3-D cards and wiggle pictures.
The blue rooster jar is beautiful! You have quite a collection. I do not have a collection, but I used to collect some stamps and postcards in high school.
Love the salt and pepper shakers! Very whimsical. When we were in Gaitlinburg, TN we noticed a store/museum dedicated to Salt & Pepper Shakers - didn't get a chance to go in! Hope you have a marvelous day - thanks for stopping by my blog, Kathy
Ohh, how I love to collect and your s&p collection is delightful. Since that rooster I posted about awhile ago appeared in our apt. complex I have been picking up rooster things at yard sales & thrift stores. Read: I'll use any excuse to start a new one! Happy lst day of summer [its reallllly humid up here!]
Omigosh, what a wonderful collection! LOVE rooster s&p's -- I have a few of my own. :)

Mary is our hostess for Mosaic Monday. Be sure you visit the Little Red House. What kinds of things do you collect? I have tea pots, teddy bears, dragons, bird *things*, cat *things* ... too much stuff, but it all gives me pleasure. I remember, when I was very young, going with my Mother every year to look for salt and pepper shakers for a cousin of mine. We'd start the search for just the right set just after Christmas and put the treasure away when we found it. I can only imagine how many salt and pepper shakers she collected over the years. When Mr. Dragon and I moved to Houston, one of the first house warming gifts we received was a chicken salt and pepper shaker. It was a gag gift (a chicken in every pot sort of thing) and boy, what that gift started!
[Image] I'm not sure that I have a favorite. I found the Teddy Bears at Urban Outfitters and the Parrots at Pier One. The original set is the one on the bottom left. I thought it would be easy to find others that I like at thrift stores, but haven't had much luck. I guess I'm too picky! Have a wonderful week. Joy to You!

Collecting things is fun. I have birds, butterflies, fairies and cream & sugar sets.
Always nice to view another person's collections.
