Thanks ladies. I have a tendency to get bored and change things. hehe Don’t feel badly Em. When I first saw Phoenix’s Frodo avatar, I couldn’t figure out what it was. I was focusing on the tip of the nose and was wondering if it was a mushroom or something. I had to lol at myself on that one!
Like everyone else, I collect too many things:
Michael Whelan dragons
Pocket Dragons
some soft sculpture dragons
Star Trek stuff of all kinds
books
Breyer horses, mostly Halloween and Christmas
several series of Hallmark Christmas ornaments
Sandicast wolves
other wolf stuff
Lady & The Tramp stuff
stuffed animals
Pug stuff
Lord of the Rings action figures
some Star Wars stuffAnd, like everyone else, lots and lots of dust…ACHOOO!!!! 😆

I’ve seen a few really pretty or cute TV Lamps, but since I’m not a big die-hard collector yet, a lot of the other ones I like go for $100 and up so…meh.🙂
Hey…can you show me a pic of what these are? I might have one….
The two I like best are these:
Rhinestone eyes
One like I saw in the antique store (only THAT one had a red bulb! Too cool!)
Kittie
Kitty againSome other interesting ones…
a horse
a Swiss-Cheese owl
This panther seems to pop up in every color imaginable.
a REALLY cute littleOwl
A strange fishMy by far largest collection is Windstones but I also collect…
Duel-lighted Hurricane lamps and swag lamps, table lamps that are old and everyone thinks they are ugly.
Books – All of Stephen King, some Dean Koontz, John Saul, James Patterson. ALOT of horticultural books (House plants, trees and whatnot), and fish books, freshwater fish, pond, and Koi books (ALOT of fish and plant books.).
DVD’s – around a hundred & VHS – about 125 store bought
CD’s – 100
Shoes – about 30 pairs
And Sharpie Markers…I have all the colors both in thin and thick tips, I use them for drawing.
But really none of it adds up to Windstones. Plus I don’t go looking for those things, I just sorta end up bringing them home with me. 😯😀

Framed butterflies
Arrow heads
Rocks, minerals, geodes, agates, polished slabs, crystals, spheres and pyramids

I’m working on getting all my collections in my Photobucket albums but it will take a while since I still have dial up not high speed.
I will post the link once it’s all there. 😉I finally took pictures of my dead things collection:
Bull kudu skin – the skin is so big, only place it fits is on my bed. So that is where it is (temporarily) homed.

Those are lovely. Sorry, about the hokkaido. It is a sub-species of the red fox. I’ve seen a few pictures where they almost look golden. Very pretty.

The caribou skin looks awesome and oh so fluffy!

In *tons* of places. Flea markets, eBay, garage sales… a lot of the bones you see I scavenged from dead animals I found, then cleaned the bones myself. In any event, a lot of the stuff I get is in pretty sorry shape. I spend many hours meticulously restoring what I find.
