Figurines

These are some of the figurines I have. There is a little guy playing an accordion, an old fashioned lady with fancy dress, and an old fashioned troubadour with musical instruments.

I used to collect all kinds, and most are all packed away right now out in our backyard shed. I want to get them out again someday.

I think these came from yard sales around the neighborhood fairly recently, well within the last 5 or 10 years.

When I was a kid, I’d go to the dime store, and first thing I did was get a new figurine. Most of these were animal ones, and I still do have some of them.

Then I got into collecting salt & pepper shakers, which are like novelty figurines, too. I have these in the house in a glass fronted china cabinet.

These two are my recent ones, of two tiger salt & pepper shakers. I got them at an antique store.

I found these neat looking tigers salt & pepper shakers when we went to an antique store last week. Of course I couldn’t leave them there, so bought them to add to my S & P collection.

Photos show different views of them – orange tigers with black stripes. One is standing up, the other laying down.

They don’t have any identifying marks on the underside. I don’t know how old they are, but being in an antique shop, maybe kind of old.

Feline Friday – Yard Sale Kitties

Here are some cute kitties I saw at a couple of yard sales last weekend.

First are two little smiling, orange and brown tiger striped kitties. They are salt & pepper shakers!

The next one is from Halloween, I think. A medium large black cat made with felt. It has orange eyes, and a collar with an orange half moon. This looked to be a bucket of some sort, maybe for holding candy? 🙂

Something a little different today, for Feline Friday.

I collect novelty salt & pepper shakers, and these are pretty cute, so thought they would be interesting to see. The blue one is for pepper, and the yellow one is for salt.  🙂

JUST JOT IT JANUARY – # 17 – COLLECTION

JUST JOT IT JANUARY – # 17 – COLLECTION

Today’s prompt word is Collection. To find out more about this month long challenge, click below:

Just Jot It January 17th – Collection

~

Collection is a nice way to say I have a lot of ‘stuff’. I tend to accumulate things, more than outright collecting them. I don’t go out of my way to find/buy certain items just for adding to an ever growing group of things.

I mostly have books. So many books. There are two 5-shelf shelves, and a 2-shelf shelf, and a huge antique hutch, with the top and bottom parts, that are all filled, several books deep. Then there’s the stacks of books, that are getting taller, too. Some of these have been read, some have not. Twice a year the library has a huge book sale, which I cannot pass up, and the regular visits to the  book stores in town. My kindle is hoarding even more! What can I say? I love to read.

As for other ‘collections’, I have a lot of jewelry, none expensive, because I like wearing a lot of it. I’ll have several necklaces and bracelets on at the same time. Earrings, too, as I have more than one piercing. So, there’s that.

I have a collection of crosses, of metal, wood, and glass, up above my desk here. I find these at yard sales.

Somehow I got into collecting novelty salt and pepper shakers. I was given a set many years ago, and it’s been added to over the years. I’ve never bought any, myself, they are all given by friends, and family. I have entered some of my antique S&Ps in the local fair, under Relics and Antiques, and won ribbons on them. Most of the ones I have are packed away, as I have no good shelf or display case to put them right now.

I know there are other ‘accumulations’ I have, including lots of journaling notebooks…lots! I get some as gifts, and some I buy, especially if it has a cool cover. 🙂

So, hope you’ve enjoyed hearing about some of the things I have!

This is a picture of the S&P identification and value guide I have, and a couple of S&Ps that happen to be out at the moment!
