    I love it too
    just for information and I am sure everyone knows but if you want to look at pictures the easiest way is to look at this screen over on the left in red....it says Expressions Gallery...if you click there you can see recent pictures without having to go to individual members....sorry bet everybody knew that

    Ducks..
    Hi Maggie,
    I collect ducks...just water fowl...wood ducks...mallards etc. We were making plans to move to the river last year and find a log cabin in the woods, but once I was diagnosed with this cancer, Steve decided to keep working for the insurance. Anyways...for years I've been collecting decor suitable for decorating a log cabin...maybe someday. You can see a few of my ducks in the background of a picture in the expression gallery I posted earlier today. I love your darling cottage!
    Love...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)

    A collection which cannot be bought or expanded upon

    My fraternal grandmother was a farmer’s wife and had to be very frugal as they raised not only their three children, but also five of my grandfather’s siblings.

    She was a wonderful correspondent and received many cards and post cards in return. She used to make the most wonderful books for birthday and Christmas gifts from cutouts from the cards.

    She would take sheets of note paper and sew them together. Then she would go thru her collection of cards and cut out pictures and paste them on the pages. Then in her small clear hand she would write something about the picture which related to the person she was sending it to.

    These wonderful small books not only speak to the inventiveness of the times but also of the love for the person who was to receive it.

    She went to heaven many years ago, but I still miss getting those very special gifts from her heart.

    quilts
    pepe I also collect and make quilts....have posted one of the bedrooms of the cottage on expressions....I like to buy fabric at flea markets and thrift stores and make my quilts from that. In the winter I have many woolen quilts that are made from men's suiting fabric....tailors will often give you lovely samples books of wool when they are finished with them.

    Cottage or camps or cabins are very popular in Canada....lots of them are on the water....pepe do you have summer cabins at the seashore in Spain??

    hair receivers
    I collect them. They are porcelain and used to collect the hair from your brush and are usually part of a dresser set. The bulk of my collection came from an inheritance. I used to visit this old lady a lot when I was a child and I went shopping with her to antique stores too. When she died, she left them to me.

    I used to go antique shopping with my mom and she purchased many for me. I probably have 200 of them.
