Jellybelly BearsI LOVE this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't comment on all I want to say but I'll just show you mine and see what we all have in common.
Chloe, I love your collections and Therese...I love dragons, and wizards, and castles. they are parts of my collection that i haven't built on too much yet. Chloe, my friend Hayley has been buying me little Gnomy's as get well gifts. they are so gorgeous! Gnomes have always been a "thing" with me since I used to watch the show "David the Gnome" as a kid (okay I was a young teenager but I loved the show!)
Chrissi, I love your tin of buttons. My sister had a little container with sparkly things like sequins and beads. I wanted it for so long. When she finally grew out of it and passed it on I thought I was SO lucky! How cute that you kept your treasures :)
The first photo includes some garden ornaments I just bought. (my mum bought them for me when I was sick in bed) but the little mushrooms (I love mushrooms too) and smaller gnomes i have indoors. Are garden ornaments another thing to collect...coz i collect em!!
Winnie the Pooh!! I love Winne. I can't wait till I can afford some Steiff pooh's. Most of these bears come from my sister, when I was sick she'd bring me one. Hmmm....this sickness thing is paying off tehe 
Strawberry Shortcake. I kid you not, some of these are very expensive! Luckily I had most of them as a kid. I got one doll each time I went on stage for ballet. how cute is that :)
Barbies. Had a huge collection and mum made us girls a huge house with furniture, wallpaper, lights...it was gorgeous!!!! so now I have to collect adult barbies These are a few

Jellybelly BearsI'm back!! With a photo of my fantasy collection. I was too tired to get it all together first try! I get a lot of inspiration for my bears with all my 'stuff'. I also collect books like so many else here...and LOTR stuff...love that book from when I was a kid and the movies etc now. Thats where my love of magic, wizards, castles and dragons come from 
The fairies came a little later, I'm more an earthy fantasy girl.
Ellen, I looooove Cherished Teddies. Only thing is they are so cheap on ebay now that you tend to go overboard, right!?
Cat, yep, they still smell. The mini's especially, and the blow kisses still blow sweet kisses
blows a kiss right back :-)
Bearz by IlzeAh, Sarah I LOVE your collections!!
