CIJ--What do you collect?

Quackeroo — Wed, 22 Jul 2015 23:08:28 GMT

Hi All,

What do you like to collect?

Reindeer? Santas? Snowmen? Gingerbread Houses? Angels? Trees? Lenox? Spode?

Music boxes?

I collect angels, nativities, and Santas.

Enjoy yours.

Do you decorate for Christmas? What do you like to use to decorate?

Hi MTH - Actually the one I have is H196720. The pic is kind of funny because the bottle brush tree is blocking his face, but you can bend it back and see his face clearly when it is displayed - I just love it! I actually love this one so much that I have a "mini" of it that I found at HL one year. The santa/reindeer you posted my mom actually has and puts it up every year; love that one too! I would LOVE to see your JS santas if you post pics this year. Actually I hope a lot of people post pics this year. I love looking at others' decorations!

I don't collect Christmas decor. I do seem to have a small collection of angels though.

My previous collections were in the kitchenware family, but interests change. Have most of it boxed up in bubble wrap.

I can't believe those are available. I received it as a gift, I think year before last, and I absolutely love mine (got the Santa and reindeer).

I bought her set of three vintage pieces a couple of years ago, that are done in the same finish, one was kids decorating a tree, kids sledding, and kids building a snowman. I really like that vintage looking style, and the quality of all my pieces are really, really nice. I wish Valerie would bring more things in this style and design.

Mousie - I know what set you are talking about! I bought them on Ebay this last winter and love them! I love any of those vintage inspired pieces!

As for Christmas decor I collect Reindeer, anything Bird, love Valerie's Doves this CIJ. Also, it would appear that I have a collection of the ever popular Finials.

I used to collect Hallmark ornaments for about 25 yrs and finally gave the majority of over 100 of them to charity...only keeping 3 of them.

Now, when I purchase decor, it's because I love the piece and want to use it as an element in a vignette. However, I have gotten carried away with getting VPH spheres. They are just great to have several colors to change them out for seasons/holidays/etc

Mostly "It's A Wonderul Life" items, ornaments, the houses from Target, the script, cast autographs, etc. I have couple of notes from Jimmy Stewart personal secretary on his stationary.

then the usual: angels, Santa, snowmen

Hi kel, I have the Angels and the Santa & Reindeer. I always find a place to use them. I first got the santa several years ago when Valerie first brought them and I use every year.

This made me chuckle. That's how it seems to happen sometimes.

I used to collect Madame Alexander Dolls and miniature alligators (strange, I know, but some are jeweled, soap, candles, carved - all cute). Now I just have the things in my curio and do not collect anything more.
