You ladies just crack me up. What a day brightener it is to turn on the computer and read all your responses. I forgot some of the things I collect until I started reading all these posts. I also collect cookbooks, milk pitchers, tea pots, and now I'm getting into cookie jars. I have also started collecting Little Golden books for children. I love the older ones, they are so pure and refreshing in a world gone mad. I say that I'm collecting them for future generations but quite honestly I like to read them myself. They bring me back to a time when life was simple and the illustrations are so endearing. Oh and I too collect dust, fat and quotes too. Here's a favorite of mine 'My house is clean enough to be happy and dirty enough to be healthy". I think we've forgotten that we have to be exposed to some durt and dust otherwise we never build up an immunity to it. Thanks so much for posting ladies. I am really appreciating these. Also love the pics that people are posting. This is great!
