Some of my favorite things

A customer that was in the shop this weekend asked me what I collect. I told her I'd take a few pictures and put them on the blog. I have been collecting for a long time. My collections include among other things, vintage toys, quilts, birds, black Americana, old games, bakelite pieces, green depression glass, pottery, flower frogs. etc. Don't you just love the colors in old stuff? That's what first got me hooked on the vintage toys, especially the red ones.
The pelican in one of the second picture is a treasured gift from some good friends. Joe carved it and gave it to me. It has a place of honor in my guest bathroom with a lot of my green frogs.
