Janine and I have been big bird enthusiasts over the years. Above is a picture of some figurines that we have had on a shelf for many years. I am also glad that I have a huge collection in a display unit to remember the shared love we have had for our feathered friends. You can see a picture of this collection in an earlier post - BIRD FIGURINE COLLECTION. I remember how happy we always were when we got another figurine. Some were bought and some came from relatives, friends and pen-pals. As a matter of fact some travelled many miles to get to us!:) Are you an avid collector of any item? I would be interested to hear about it!

Well no doubt my biggest collection would be my Yorkie collection of figurines, prints, stuffys, etc.
Love your bird collection. Nice memory of you collecting them together.

oo, and how can i forget to answer. i LOVE to collect cat "stuff" of course!! :) and peacock and butterfly things are a close second! :)
Thanks for the follow--I'm following back. My biggest collection to date is books. I recently downsized as we have moved to a much smaller house. I let go of 50 boxes of books. It was hard, but I did it. Now I'm trying not replace them, but it's hard! LOL! My biggest weakness is cook books!
Hello MissMOE,
Thank you for also becoming a Follower of my Blog. It is good to have a collection of books. Some books are very hard to let go!:) Take care.
Judy
Hi Maria,

Hello Michelle,
I am already a Follower of your Blog. You have beautiful children. I wish you all the very best with your pregnancy. I was trying to write some comments on your Blog but was having problems as when I tried to type the code there is no space for me to do so. This is probably a technical problem. I will keep trying. Take care.

I collect a lot of things! Bouncy Balls.. Stickers.. Lol :P
Love your birds ^.^
Stopping by from the Friday Blog Hop.
Nice collections you've got there Judy. I'm not much of a collector, but my kids collects shells and stones. I'm keeping them because we want to build a special shelf for their collections.
Hello there Nekky,
A good Friday to you. It is interesting that your children collect shells and stones. Oh yes, do build a special shelf for them. I remember visiting a hotel in Jamaica and there was a glass display unit with a collection of shells and it looked so beautiful. My mom says when she was a young girl she used to collect shells. Take care.
Judy
Thanks for sharing your collection Amanda T. Very interesting. Over the years I have gotten a lot of stickers and still have some. I have some of those featuring birds in my shelf!:) Take care and have a good Friday.

I've collected the song "Amazing Grace" for years. It's been sung by so many musicians over time. I have 13 on cds and 3 more on albums. Elvis, Ani DiFranco, Joan Baez, the Neville Brothers and more. Have a good weekend, Judy.
Interesting collection Annie! The song " Amazing Grace" is such a great song that it is wonderful that you have CDs of this song by different singers. Have a good weekend.
Beautiful collection and what an amazing reminder of your sister! I really don't have a large collection of anything, just little things here and there.
Thanks Lorie! Have a wonderful weekend!
I collect books! I have tons and tons of them in my house! I do donate a bunch every year though!

Your collection looks fantastic! It shows how much you and your sister had a same interest and great love of birds...
I use to collect teddy bears but they began to muliply...so I had to scale back. Now I don't really collect anything.
Have a great weekend girl! ;)
Hi Judy! Thanks so much for stopping by WelltoDo and the Weekend Gathering Hop!

Happy weekend—

Vintage French postcards. I'm lucky enough to have turned my hobby into my business. I blog about them too
http://timeandoft.blogspot.com
looking at your picture closely, I see that you have a goose with a blue scarf on. I have a breakfast set with them on and coasters too!
I used to collect stamps before back in grade school but gave up as I got bored with meticulously scraping off stamps from mailed envelopes. I do have plans of collecting weird mugs when I can afford to move in to my own house.
Hi Itin,
Janine and I used to collect stamps when we were in high school. After that we mainly collected stamps featuring birds and even put some in albums. However I really don't collect them now.I hope you will get to start your collection of mugs in the not too distant future. Take care and enjoy your weekend.
Judy
Interesting collection Anji! There was a time when my twin and I collected postcards and placed them into albums! I will have a closer look at your collection today. I need to also visit EXPOSE YOUR BLOG! I have had a hectic week. Take care.
Judy
Hi Suz,
It must be great to have a wide assortment of shoes that when you are ready you can choose one for any occasion! Have a good weekend.Thanks again for the opportunity to be in the Blog Hop.
Judy
Hi Tammy,
I know what you mean! There was a time when I would go out and just keep buying a lot of birds. Now I have so many and not much space around that I have to scale down on the amount I buy. Have a good weekend.
Judy
Thanks Treat & Trick! Have yourself a wonderful weekend!
Thanks Pug Daddy! I will definitely check your Blog. My favourite pets over the years have always been dogs.
Right now I collect milk glass. It is a very beautiful white glass that is no longer produced. My current hunt is for the plates. I have found them especially hard to track down. I don't look online for them though. That makes it to easy ;D
Hi SocialStudiesSoubrette,
You have an interesting collection. I hope you find some plates in the not too distant future. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Judy
I think everyone should collect something! I have collected Fire King Dinnerware for the past 30years...my husband collects paperweights and 1/24 scale vehicles... I love your bird collection! Many years of memories there I am sure! I posted a Surprise Sunday Hop on my blog you might want to join! @ http://www.pargasjunkyard.wordpress.com
Hi coronaryn,
You and your husband certainly have some interesting collections! Thanks for inviting me to participate in your Blog Hop. I definitely will.
Judy
Thank you for the follow. Following you back. Reading your blog uplifted my heart. My mother died when I was 26 of kidney disease and my maternal grandmother, my second mother, died 2 years ago.
Thanks for becoming a Follower and your kind comments The Southern Fried Bride. I am sorry that you lost your mom so early and your maternal grandmother died 2 years ago. May the memories of the time you had with them live on. Take care.
I love your bird collections...I'm sure each one holds a special place in your heart :) I don't really collect anything...I wish I did though. Actually I wouldn't necessarily call it a collection, but I get a small piece of jewelry (nothing expensive) from every trip we go on. I love reminiscing about a particular trip every time I wear the necklace or earrings.
Thank you very much Candice. I like your idea of buying a piece of jewellery whenever you go on a trip. Take care and have a good week.
I collect and have been collecting elephants since I was a kid. Everything from figurines, stuffed animals you name it. I think they are amazing animals. Anyway, my name is Sarah, I am a new follower from the Weekend Gathering hop and I wanted to invite you to come follow back http://skylarinc.blogspot.com/. Thanks:)
Interesting collection Skylar! Thanks for becoming a Follower of my Blog and sharing your comments. I will definitely follow back. Have a good week.
I collect and frame Mary Cassatt artwork. Most of her work depicts mothers and children.
Very interesting collection Ellen Marie! Those pictures must look so lovely!
I collect paper dolls :)
I am not surprised that you collect paper dolls. You are such a great artist The Belly Dancer. I have seen your great paper dolls' clothes.
