LECTIONS ! / COLLECTIONS !

Lucas wanted me to take a photo of him with his lection of snowmen and Santa's. So here he is.

He received a few more from his brothers and sisters so now as a very fine lection of TEN ! Now just need somewhere for him to put them. I did suggest he put them away until next Christmas but he's having none of it! He wants them out in his bedroom where he can see them!.

Seeing Lucas's new collection had me thinking about some of mine, so here are a few Lection?Collection photo's.

This is my collection of Christmas gifts .

These two purple outfits looking so good together.

Then there are the Bramber Bears along with Snowy ( from Dollmum on the bench) and Whitby ( from Chris T) and Gunther   ( from Anne Sasha Commero ) on the bottom left. There are a few not here would you believe !!

Here is some of my Emma Bridgewater collection. I decided that I would buy at least one item in a design I liked therefore not having to stick to just one pattern when another is launched that I love.

These are miniature sized mugs most of which have candles in them. The three pink and white heart patterned ones I have had for a few years, I have used the candles in these and they have a lovely Christmas scent to them, so gorgeous that when I open the china cupboard I keep them in , the scents sneaks out to entice you ! The two Christmas Joy ones are the only ones without candles.

I love the size and shape of these bowls, they are used for all sorts of things, you can just see the Christmas pot pourri in the heart patterned one.

These are the mugs which we use daily. In fact if you have been to the Chat n Snap you may well have been given your tea or coffee in one of these as I have had to take almost all the mugs out the cupboard with me on each occasion due to saving money on not hiring their china. I have decide to acquire some cheap mugs this year for the Chat n Snap as last year we did not have enough plus I would quite like not to have to take these with me.Being quite big they take longer to fill meaning a longer wait at the food counter!.
At the side  are two of my jugs, there should be three but I cannot find one........

Over that last few years I have collected these Mince Pie plates, it's always worth keeping an eye open around Christmas or just after for a bargain, the centre plate is a second , so cost well below price and the spotted one was reduced to half price early in December. The gravy boat was also a sale item last year.
Gill bought me the lovely tulip teapot a good few years back.

And these are my collection of Kidz n Cats dolls, starting with William ( Jakob ) and Kate (Lena )on the left my first two dolls along to Nicky ( Nikola ) my newest girl. I do have a boy on his way who should arrive in the new year. It was not my intention to buy any more of these but like all collections there is always something you are after and the boy coming is one and I would like at least one blonde blue eyed girl!

Well I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my collections, slightly off topic for the blog I know, I could always start a new blog for my non Sasha chat but then that would be more work, so until you have a moan about the non Sasha stuff it will appear here!
