OMG!! Where to start!!! Being an antiques dealer I collect anything!!

Lenox flowers, Lenox Santas, chicken figurines, cat figurines (have over 500 started when I was a baby), Vintage Fiesta ware, some depression glass although most of it is out in storage, hubby collects old knives and barbwire, native american and black memorabilia, and me - some Disney figurines, and Care Bears (vintage) even have an e-book published on them with 15 years of research. at http://www.carebearjake.com/

So as you can see we are collecting fools. That's what happens when you get into the antique business. You end up keeping half of it!!! LOL!

My wife collects dust bunnies, does that count.? We have spider webs on the stove tops and ovens, i have been considering painting them.

Birdhill. When you paint the webs. Use a clear acrylic to spray them and then spray them with the color you want. They will pick up the light beautifully! Wink

She is ugly too, when I want her to stay home I hide her wooden leg and teeth. I really want to trade her for a mini donkey but it been posted for over a month and no inquires. Maybe, I should have left the picture off.

Look at my fire weeds, I found them in the woods.

Actually, my wife is super, we were High School sweethearts, 43 years ago. She just kept following me around until I married her. And best of all, she does not know my pass word to this site. Laughing

I love them also and the hackberrys are turning red, they are everywhere. Those weeds are nice to look at but they taste terrible if you smoke them.
