Lynne,
Hey back to the original post here,
I think your cat collection of stuff
is so cute!!!!
I have collected cat stuff for my
niece for a while now, we started with
a cat tea pot...
and a bubble gum holder!!!

Weezie

Thanks, Weezie!

I gave my teapot collector friend a cat teapot for her birthday recently. Have not seen a gumball holder though.

I also have a cute pair of hanging silver cat earrings - I wear them when I'm in a funky mood.

I used to have a really cute cat banner/flag hanging in my front yard - it had numerous kitten faces on it, but it blew away in a recent wind storm.

How old is your niece, and what kinds of things does she have in her collection?

She's about 16 1/2....
Alot of teapots, a shower curtain, knick~knacks,
statues, gumholders, pictures, candles, cups,
a few other things, can't think right now,
the last few years we gave cash, you know that
universal "cat" :rolleyes:

One last Frog for you, Weeze...He has an honored place in our new fountain....

Fish \'n Frog Fountain

try again, please?

I never get it right the first time....

Fish & Frog fountain

Very nice fountain, Jillie! It looks like the frog is either singing or laughing - can't tell which. I looked at your other fountain too - like that one also. And it, too, has a frog. I really like the Tilandsia on the fountain too. Can't tell... is there some on the blue fountain too?

When I visited my parents in Florida 2 years ago I brought back some tilandsia that was growing on the trees outside their apartment. They managed to live up until this fall - I don't think I brought them inside soon enough. I hope to get some more next trip.

Jillie,
Nice fountain!!
You two have those down pat don't you??
Very nice..

What is in the middle a Mateus wine bottle??
Do they still make that wine??

Weezie

I just love frogs!!

Hi Weezie,

It's a ceramic fish sitting upon it's tail, spitting a round spray of water out of it's mouth. I bought it for Jillie at a local nursery, and the man said it was a lantern, but for the life of me couldn't see how to put a candle in it. Jillie thought of standing it on it's tail for the fountain. She drilled out it's mouth so the spray attacment to the pump would fit properly.

I haven't seen Mateus in years!

jc2weho

plants 'N Pots, yes, there's a single Tilandsia on the blue fish fountain & two on the jug fountain..They were all blooming when we bought them...I don't think I kept them moist enuf to maintain the flowers. Gotta remind myself every day to go out and spritz them....I love the different varieties...the flowers are breathtaking colors.

I posted under here that I collect Jeff Gordon stuff.....which I do....I'm not a tomboy, but oh how I've fell in love with nascar....I have an autographed card, a card with a piece of his sheet metal, and a plaque that I got for christmas with an actual piece of his tire....My hutch is full of racing stuff.....I'm not into the fancy plates, so gordon stuff it is....can't wait for the season to start back up....

Anyway, I also failed to mention that I collect angels and snowmen.......I love things that are cute and you can't beat the two of them!!!! Anyone else collect angels???

My sister collects angels and butterflies!

Laura, My sis is a huge nascar fan. When Dale Ernhardt crashed, she was still crying a week later. Christmas before last, we got her the photo & piece of a tire mounted in a frame...She cried again...
During races, she yells at the telly (much like she does during Laker's games). The woman's 65 years old! Now, THAT's hard core

Jillie, who does she like now??? His son dale earnhardt jr???? I watched the race that day that earnhardt sr passed away. I never liked him, but I never want to see anyone get hurt. It was a very sad time for nascar and all the fans. I'll be just like your sister when I reach that age....lol I yell at the tv now as it is.

Good Morning, Laura
I think she likes Dale Junior, but not as much as his dad. Is there a driver named LaBonte, or something like that? She's mentioned him....When it's Laker's season, I know I'll be able to hear her 100 miles away in Oceanside.......

Yep there are 2 Labonetes....Terry Labonte and his brother Bobby Lanbonte!!!!! And hey at least she has a good set of lungs on her...lol Me too, I take my sports pretty serious!!!! I can't wait for the racing season to start back up in February....my Sundays feel so empty without a good race on....

Do you go through end-of-season-depression? My poor sis gets into this really black mood when NFL season is over (that's her biggest love of ALL). Baseball gives her a big yawn; she says it's tooooo sissy and BORING. I think she divorced one of her husbands because he was a baseball fan....LOL

I'm not into baseball really at all......I collect baseball cards too just because it's a sport....lol It really bores me too, makes me yawn a little also....and yes, I do get a little down when the racing season ends but we don't have too long to wait because the first race is in february so I can handle it....I like football a lot too. I got into nascar because my husband always watched it, and now I could tell you more about it than he could... :p The only thing I really want now for my gordon collection is a piece of his firesuit and then I'll be happy....I have the autograph, sheet metal, and tire...
