And the kaleidoscopes are packed somewhere still. I had to put a stop to people buying them for me because I just didn't have anywhere to put them. I'm not a tchotchke (sp?) type person. The only ones I have now are a few from my mom. <BR/><BR/>That hat collection is very interesting for sure! I think you should do a post of pictures of you trying them on for us!

They are always so interesting. I currently collect nothing, which is sad for me.

If I can find those buttons, I'd happily send them your way, if you want. I need to downsize my collections before I move for law school.

We started giving my dad a Santa Claus on Christmas Eve 21 years ago and are constantly on the look out for cool and interesting santa figurines. It's his job on Christmas eve to unpack and put out his santa collection and we get to enjoy it while we're there. Then he also gets to put it all away in January.Mary Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236441806234261588noreply@blogger.com
