What do you collect?

[dskracing]

Looking around the house, I have decided I need a bloody good clean out!!!!

I collect books and Star Wars

Hubbs collects cars (of which I am guilty of also)

Daughter collects LOTR weta

And dont get me started on my clothes cupboard.....big cleanout this weekend methinks... time to live simpler

oh, and the white one with the gold rims, only got it late last year for Christmas Day, so only used it then and last month for a themed dinner party.

Next Christmas is Bush Christmas - won't suit that, so?

and the blue and white one - NEVER used it. I only ever started collecting it and ALL the pieces because my grandma had 3 of the jugs and a butter dish and used the 900ml one as her daily milk jug, so it was always a part of "growing up". It's just "in the good cabinet" reminds me of my grandma. I started that in 1993. My Grandma died 3 weeks before my wedding and I got her 900ml jug, and well, my husband got me some more of it for a wedding present, so I just kept going.

I have a few things I need to get rid of soon.................. I used to use them but realistically I never will again. The glass ones I think mum used to use as butter and cheese dishes.

I too, have the clear glass butter dishes (used to hold 1lb butter).

I have the elongated one in the depression green.  Mum used it for pressed tongue in aspic.

Az.. Any of your daughters, DILs takers for those items? They look like they are old enough to have been in your possession/family for awhile.

The right bird does have different eye 'paint'.

Az, this is none of my business, but... (and no idea of the value of the above)

I have some things from my grandma. and whilst of no real value money wise, to me, they are priceless. Just normal everyday things I recall her using and were "part of my childhood"

a blue and white striped jug

a glass bottle (she kept jelly beans in it)

Her cheap as white cannister set with the fruit on the front that was always on the counter, she used to keep mint lollies in the centre one - and a Mars Bar in another one (she would cut off a small piece every night to have with her evening cup of tea), can't remember the third one though?

a bone handled knife - no idea how long it was, but it's just a stump of a blade now, maybe 2 inches long? I think it was regular cutlery length at one stage, but over the years, all the sharpening has ground it down, but it was my fathers when he lived at home and was a child, and my memories of that are my grandpa and I sitting on the front steps of the house, him peeling me apples and cutting off chunks to eat. (He died in 1977, so i was really young)
