Re: More on collections

Do any of you have a collection that you are not sure how it got
there? I mean something that you had no intention of collecting and
are not too sure that you would own up to if someone noticed? I
realized lately that I have quite a collection of pre-world war 2
china cats and dogs. I never thought about collecting them but each
time I would see one on a yard sale or flea market table my little
hand crept out and grabed it I know I've never paid more than a
dollar for any of them and I guess that they are worth just about what
I paid but somehow I love them. Anyone else care to confess?

Anything can be anywhere.

Glass, silver, chrome, pottery and porcelain penguins & puffins. Not
only do I buy them, but *everyone* gives them to me as well. Something
about my jokingly having wanted to buy a penguin at the auction when
the creatures from the aquarium went on the auction block.
