Collections Show and Tell

I have a lot of "collections", but one of my favorites
I keep all together on my studio shelf.

And now that I think of it, my chipmunk and squirrel collection
probably has been around the longest of anything that I collect.




Today I'm joining Suzanne over at Privet and Holly
for her Collections Show and Tell Party this week.



These little cuties usually spend their time here on the shelf,
but come Fall, they scamper around the house
hiding in many of my Fall vignettes.
It's about time to start dusting them off and watching them find
a temporary new spot.



This is one of my favorites, a new paper mache box,
that my daughter bought for me several years ago.



Some of the stuffed variety...






A birthday card from a few years ago,


Salt and pepper shakers,


creeping (not creepy) chipmunk planter from Japan,





Most of the figurines are vintage Lefton.



love the detail...


a Japanese Majolica planter,




These two on my front porch started it all.


A very old chalkware bank,


and a silver art deco/modern piece from my older daughter.


Hey!... what's this?


Sorry it's blurry, I grabbed this photo quick.

We have an abundance of both squirrels and chipmunks.
I feed the birds so they enjoy the leftovers.
The kitties would love to "enjoy" them.



Hope you'll join Suzanne for the linky party starting Tuesday July 26.
see ya there!
