things that make me smile

I am not a materialist person, but I am extremely sentimental.
I have various things round about me that make me smile.
Make me content and happy to see.
Obviously this includes Andrew & Poppy la Pooh,
and Photo's I love photo's I have them everywhere!
but as far as items go.....
I have a few unusual things that no one else would find that important.
In no particular order!And not an complete list, by any means!












This Scottish pound note in a frame causes much curiosity to visitors to my home.
Its found in my bathroom. It was printed the year Andrew and I met in 1992.
It reminds me when we have times where money is tight,
which it often is since I left nursing..that we have been through
tough times and still have each other, and thats priceless!












My two hoggies were made for me by my lovely mate Rob who I have known since I was 11!
And I love him to bits!
I used to collect hedgehog things years ago and he made me these wee fella's in art class at school!
They have moved home many times in many towns and always make me smile when U see them, They now live on the shelf above my craft desk!

My crystals. I have some in every room.
I
carry one in my purse & often wear them in my bra, can I suggest smooth ones for this !


And the last thing on my list is my wee chicken who is a penguin in disguise, from Wallace & Gromit film fame. He looks after my wedding rings when I am busy crafting.

I have damaged a few bits but scratching them with them a few times!




And obviously my wedding rings....I love them, I love being married.
Even though he drives me mad and I bet I do him too a lot of the times!

Its lovely, one of my special things and you will find it on my blog if you go back almost to the beginning is Flopsy. I used to collect old toys and my step children bought me Flopsy from a rummage sale. All the time I was pregnant, I carried it around with me, I had a lot of upheaval at the time. I also used to take it away if I was working anywhere...I have several similar bits n pieces. I think it is called sentimental :-D

Great collection of favourite things. I'm a hoarder so I collect all sorts of things from pens to mugs, to keyrings to books. I seem to form a sentimental attachment to most things that I come into contact with!!! If there was one thing I had o save from a fire, it would have to be my teddy, Andrew, who I had when was a baby and so he is nearly 50 years old! And I still tell him my secrets!
