Oh Frannie, I have way to many to display. But I use them a lot. My favorite is a red speckled one with white. And I have my mothers aluminum one which I love. But mostly just old collanders! Along with my red and white kitchen! Also I love pin cushions!
Just too many things to collect!

| Frannie, don't red cardinals just look like 'the ultimate' against a backdrop of snow covered branches? No snow here (yet, please, please please, Mr. Weatherman) but the cardinals, chickadees, wrens, sparrows,thrashers,etc. are vying for the seeds on the front porch feeder nowadays, along with the errant squirrel whenever he gets a chance! Back when I was enthusiastically cataloging every species I could in Massachusetts, I would set the alarm clock for 5 a.m. and sit at the kitchen table with my pad, pencil, bird book and binoculars and wait for whoever came to breakfast. One afternoon, as the little birds were frolicking among the feeders, suddenly a hawk swooped in and pinned down a little bird. I banged on the window immediately and it spooked the hawk enough to fly off without his intended prey. The little bird shot off like a rocket after being freed, and when I looked at the spot where he'd been pinned down, a pile of you know what was left. Guess that encounter literally scared the **** out of him! For several minutes the air was so still, not a chirp or a peep outta anybody! Nance |

Frannie, this is such a fun thread!
As an Obstetrics Nurse, I like to collect things related to babies. Kind of like a "busman's holiday," I guess, but I do love those babies! My main collection centers around antique/vintage birth announcements with storks. They are both colorful & amusing. (Intersting to read the backside, too.) I also enjoy collecting antique chocolate molds that are in the shape of babies. Not too many of those around, but some. It also combines my love of chocolate with babies - a little inside joke, you could say. I also have a small collection of antique figurines of storks & babies. Well, I think you get the picture.........
