It was a joy and an honour to get to know you better through your comments, many of which lead me to know that we share one or more interests in common. <br /><br />In a few minutes I'll be drawing the random comment number (1-14) for the surprise giveaway pack, and will announce the lucky winner in a post here tomorrow afternoon (which will go live at 2pm PST). <br /><br /><br />Thank you again to one and all,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-12542004812792370492012-04-10T19:57:06.983-07:002012-04-10T19:57:06.983-07:00What a lovely post.

I too have varied tastes so a complete list would be impossible but a few things: murder mysteries (grew up watching shows like Marple and Ruth Rendell mysteries with my mum); Barbie (I had so many as a child then grew out of her for a while but am now collecting again); and pink! It's always been my favourite colour (except for a brief period as a teen when I thought it was too 'girly').<br />-Andi xAndi B.

My favorite books are all with me still, and I remember reading under the covers with a torch when I was a little girl, then reading in the bathroom late at night when I was a teenager! <br /><br />I think the thing that's really special is that they are the first thing I started collecting, and the first thing that piqued my interest in vintage things. I love the old books. I'm a terrible mover as I have to take all my collections with me! Good luck with your move though Jessica. :)<br /><br />xox,<br />bonita of <a href="http://depictthis.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Depict This!</a><br /><br />bonita{at}bdotdepictions.com<br />~ * ♥ * ~Lavender and Twillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06331125027969557539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-35999075551507827442012-04-09T15:45:01.737-07:002012-04-09T15:45:01.737-07:00This post was so nice to read, I have loved so man...This post was so nice to read, I have loved so many things through the years, from dogs to ballet, skateboarding to drawing.<br /><br />What has always stayed with me is a fondness for times past, the simplicity of a bias cut gown in the best silk, black and white film espcially pre code films, the sheer glamour of it all!<br /><br />For me there is nothing better then a Jean Harlow film, a champagne cocktail and my best negligee..oh and fluffy pink mules!!!!<br /><br />All the best to you, congratulations on your move!!!<br /><br />MichelleMichellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-57149148106141444352012-04-08T14:03:52.757-07:002012-04-08T14:03:52.757-07:00The scent of Spring...lilacs, lily of the valley, ...The scent of Spring...lilacs, lily of the valley, the first mowing of grass. <br /><br />The gathering of family at Thanksgiving...turkey and all the trimmings.<br /><br />A snow day that keeps everyone inside for awhile.

It seems like most little girls go through that "I want a pony!" stage, but my collection of horse toys, figurines, linens, jewelry, stationary, etc. just kept growing all the way up through high school. My mom has what's left of the collection now. Hopefully someday when we have a house of our own I can get them back. <br /><br />Another thing I've always loved, though this is more of an activity than objects that can be collected... ballet. I danced up through high school, and finally had to make a choice between going away to college and ballet, but I still miss it so much. So maybe that isn't exactly what you meant by your question, but both of those things -- ballet & horses -- are things I've always loved and missing be surrounded by/immersed in.<br /><br />Hope your moving is going smoothly. :-)looloolooweezhttp://www.lonestaronalark.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-22107724279571551592012-04-07T07:29:08.993-07:002012-04-07T07:29:08.993-07:00I will be moving back to my hometown too soon, and...I will be moving back to my hometown too soon, and it will be amazing.

As far back as I can remember I have loved dolls. I always carried one with me whether I was playing house, going to visit someone, going shopping-- you get the idea-- I loved my dolls. Well, it seems I never outgrew my love for them. I still have some of my first dolls and started collecting dolls as an adult. My Grandmother who passed away last month was a collector and had given some of her collection to me a few years ago. She was so pleased that I enjoyed them as much as she did. I wish you much happiness and good health in your new home.-------<br />ShannonShannon@Cozy Home Sceneshttp://cozyhomescenes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-78238175450557302342012-04-06T17:51:01.804-07:002012-04-06T17:51:01.804-07:00That's an easy one for me: CATS!

When I was a little girl I used to collect cats, I had soooo many figurines and just anything "cat". Cat sweaters, cat bags, cat backpack for school, anything and everything had to be cat-themed.... Oh, did I mention I once stole a cat when I was 4 years old... Hahaha. I don't remember this but my mom tells me every time I visit her; Apparently one year when we were on vacation I randomly brought back a kitty, and My dad decided we should keep her. She got hit by a car two years later, but I remember her so well. She was a sweetheart! Since, my family "adopted" 2 more homeless kitties - by now they're 17 and 8! :)<br /><br />Sigh... I just love cats. You may call me Eleanor Abernathy... <br /><br />Good luck for your move! It can be quite stressful, but I hope you get settled in quickly.<br /><br />And sorry for the novel, I just get so excited when talking about cats!!Kate https://www.blogger.com/profile/12941833945217107530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-80222015679043688902012-04-06T15:22:51.806-07:002012-04-06T15:22:51.806-07:00I have always loved traveling to new places. Even ...I have always loved traveling to new places. Even if there is nothing terribly exciting or exotic, I just love having the chance to explore. I love Barns, farms and gardens. I love and am fascinated by bee hives. I'd love to keep bees someday, but need some schooling on it first. :) <br /><br />I also love vintage hats, shoes and especially jewelry. I have amassed a pretty large collection, and lately have been buying only things that I can truly wear or must have. Otherwise I would be on an episode of Hoarders, because I used to buy things just because they were old and I find old things irresistible! I find that vintage jewelry is easiest because I can store it away and look at it when I please, or wear it if I want.<br /> I love pictures, new & old, but especially black and white. I am currently obsessed with vintage pictures of dogs. <br /> I love the smell of sweetpeas which remind me of my mom. And I love the smell of vanilla which reminds me of home.<br />I love bowls. For some reason at antique stores I always find at least 3 that I have to take home.<br /> I love vintage books. (I am always intrigued by the pictures.) I also love cupcakes of all sizes and flavors. And finally I love neon. Being an 80's kid I am always reminded of the crazy fluorescent patterned tights I used to wear. I love that it is back with vengeance this year!!olygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18250373019193195539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-32930740858131861552012-04-06T14:43:23.060-07:002012-04-06T14:43:23.060-07:00For as long as I can remember I've adored Mari...For as long as I can remember I've adored Marilyn Monroe and the fashions of the fifties. I don't know why I haven't just let the dresses of the day just take over my closet! I used to have a huge collection of Marilyn memorabilia but my ex sold it all - he was a serious drug addict before I got the strength to throw him out. I miss looking at the beautiful dolls and plates that I had. <br />Most of my other interests have grown and evolved with me.

Pretty much as soon as I could coordinate my arms as a baby I like to pick up handfuls of soil or of grass/flowers. when I was a bit older I had my own little flowerbed which I was thrilled with. Even when I was being a cool teenager I still had my plot in the garden! Now it is my main way to relax and switch off from the stresses of life.<br /><br />and<br /><br />Snoopy. My love of all things Snoopy has been a constant throughout my life and I can't see that ever changing. Linus is the best!Miss Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10899889154015378547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-51971667166035212792012-04-06T09:41:37.149-07:002012-04-06T09:41:37.149-07:00i have vivid memories of childhood, so i could go ...i have vivid memories of childhood, so i could go on forever, but i will limit this to the first couple things i think of....<br />~the smell of a new box of lovely pointy crayons<br />~the library<br />~beautiful high heels<br />~the perfect blue sky in the first part of june, when the whole summer stretches before me.kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7171979083212182762012-04-06T09:07:54.627-07:002012-04-06T09:07:54.627-07:00Vintage tablecloths!
