Posted: 1/14/2006 6:19:50 PM | now, old telephones; my late great husband retired from Sprint and had some great ones he replaced during his years with them. Then I started buying old ones for him. Now I've inherited them.
it used to be anything white porcelain china with a gold halo, including ashtrays and I never smoked. This got a bit out of hand. To me it's very pretty. I had a big garage sale and only kept a couple of things.
I am now more simplified.
on going = art. oils and watercolors, although I also have a chalk and some of my bf's works. and also my own photography blown up and framed.
and since the bf collects WWII artifacts, your's truly has joined in the frey - went in with him on a kubelwagon (WWII German jeep). See uniform < | |

It's rule #1 for ridding your house of clutter.
Rule #2 is to stuff everything else in the sofa.  | |

Posted: 1/14/2006 7:19:41 PM | | I have a very small collection of owls...it started with one gift and the person said I reminded them of an owl....which was puzzling....was it the eyes? was it the way I can twist my head in a 180 degrees? my penchant for eating rodents? | |

Posted: 1/14/2006 7:53:49 PM | Owls are interesting Squirrly.
Don't see the resemblance though either....maybe you looked wise to them?
Were you wearing huge glasses at the time?
Your head twisting talents would have reminded me of the exorcist however. | |

There is a Canadian diamond that use to have a polar bear lazered into it. The polar bear is a trade mark for another company so the diamond company had to stop putting it on the diamond. Now they are rare to find and rather expensive, but out there to be found. It would be a very nice addition to your collection. Just have to find the right man to give it to you.
:)
OT: Many years ago I went to my bank, having a little money and a job I thought I would start a neat collection. I talked to a girl at the bank for her opinion and she agreed. Not really a good investment but a very good thing to do.
That was it I started my collection...... First thing I got was called 'Visa'.....lol
I now have one of the best debt collections on record.... :) | |
