Three Or More Thursdays #7

I guess when you have three or more of something it is time to call it a collection. No wonder I seem to have so many collections. Makes me think of that song......darn I can't remember the title or the words to that song. Oh well. Well, here goes, my collections for today's Three or More Thursday. Thank you to Tam at The Gypsy Corner for hosting Three or More Thursdays.

First up is my tree collection. The one in the middle is made from wood. It was a gift to me one year from a secret pal when I was working for the school district. The school I was at did a secret sister thing most years. I have always loved this tree. The little bows have come off a couple of the packages. I should probably replace them with new bows since it really isn't that hard to do. I have just been lazy or forget to think about getting some really small bows when ever I am out. The other 2 trees are from Avon. I don't remember how come I ended up with two. I think both came from my mother-in-law. She gave me one, then maybe forgetting she gave me one already she gave me another one. Actually I don't remember if that is how it happened or not. But that is okay I like having two. I never use them for their intended purpose. The little holes on them are for toothpicks with either gumdrops or little cheese squares stuck on them. And the little bear and doll hold salt and pepper if you want. But I don't use them for that. I like to just display them somewhere every year. This is my first time to actually group them together like this.
My next collection is angels. These are Christmas angels. I have other angels one of which I have shown on here before, the blue stained glass one. This one is a Wildflower Angel-Narcissus for December. This was also given to me from a secret sister for my birthday one year. Boy, I am realizing I have gotten some nice things from the various secret sisters I have had over the years. The next two are from the House of Lloyd. The one above I got because her name is Sara and my daughter's name is Sara. I think I will have to turn this one over to her eventually. I may have given to her as a gift, but it is still in my Christmas things. So my sweet daughter, when you read this, is this one of the things I have given to you and I am supposed to eventually give it back to you? Along with the white dala horse and the blue Shirley Temple pitcher. Anything else? Oh and the boxes of the Ashton Drake Doll ornaments. These two bear angels are singing their hearts out for Christmas. I just love this one since I do have a bear collection too and that was why I had to buy it. It does say on the bottom that they are part of The Bearsley Family Collection and their names are Jeremiah and Penelope and that they were from House of Lloyd. This is the only thing I have from The Bearsley Family. Now I wish I had been able to get more. After all, they are bears. Thank you for visiting me today. Happy Holidays to everyone. I can't believe Christmas is only a week away. Aack! I need to get my kids stuff mailed. Like today!!
