I have never really collected anything (unless you count New Kids On the Block pictures to put on my wall when I was 12). But the past few years I have begun to acquire figurines/knicknacks of specific places/landmarks around the world, thanks a GREAT deal to my world traveling Mom in law! (Thank you Laura!)
As you can see from the picture there is an Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa , Coliseum, The Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, The Seattle Space Needle, the votive candle holder from Finland, the wooden cat from Ecuador, the Sydney Opera House , and my newest addition the Duomo snowglobe from Florence (thank you Leann).
I love that all the famous locations are from that actual place and I love that they are from someone who went there and thought of me! It makes the collection a lot more fun! Sooooo.... I am putting this out there to you...... if you ever go to a landmark location and find a miniature replica or find a small trinket from a far away land (and you think of me), I would LOVE to add to my collection! I am hoping that someday I will get to add to it to myself, but so far my far away journeys take me to the midwest USA, and they don't make replicas of the Osmond Theatre in Branson.
Do you love how I am using my blog to solicit gifts from people! =) In all honesty, I would love to someday fill up a wall (or a small curio cabinet) with places from around the world, and remember each person that gave me each one.
I will put on pictures of my adventures from the next few weeks soon, I just wanted to share my collection.
YEAH FOR FRIDAY!! Love you all!

Your father is looking over my shoulder and said, what about dalmatians and beanie babies. Hope I get to travel someday and bring you back a goodie. Love Mom
Yes daddy is right....dalmatians and beanie babies were collections as well. I think it is funny that my father remembered that! =) Good memory.
Next time I see you I'll bring you a miniature Idaho Patato!
Did I spell Potato right? Potatoe? Good grief, my brain is leaving me!
