okay are you getting the picture here i am truly in need of guidance
or the name of some more op shops to gather more !
this is all i can think of (she hangs her head in shame)
oh oh tiny birds, bluebirds ,nests, eggs
and did i forget my gingerbread men
oh its an illness i see it now and i love the house tidy
i am my own worst enemy.Be brave and have a peek
oh Indian dolls i forgot tiny indian dolls with sideglancing eyes and golliwogs (sorry shannon)







I have been asked about the little room below it is actually a walk in plate pantry i had built a few years ago when we renovated.I put a french door on it so you could see all the shelves
and there is a light inside.Its very handy you walk in and can choose what you want.
Its the size of a walk in pantry.I got it built accross the corner maximising space.Its also great to hide in and scare the cats lol freaks them right out,

I wonder if it would be fun to collect old men? Probably not - they most likely require a bit of tending to LOL! You do have a lot of collections! That shot of the room with the french door looks like a china shop! So many lovely plates and cups!

I am with you Jules, I don't even want to think about how many collections I have. I even have some collections that I didn't know I was collecting, like trinket boxes and cream jugs!
