I guess most people collect something & I collect lots of somethings! I've just gone through a stage of getting rid of stuff that really had become clutter in my life. A variety of my collections got reassigned to other homes.
But after the pitcher parade event one quiet Sunday, I decided that part of another Sunday could be given over to the captures I did of Other Parades in my Home.
One of the most prominent collections is my eggbeaters. The collection began with 3 charming ones found in a junk store years ago & then grew bit by bit. I think I have just promised myself that I have bought my last eggbeater on line.
Also in the kitchen & not quite a parade, but more a group of parade watchers, are the condiment collection.
Wall plates make a vertical parade.
On my bureau I have the bears & the crows.
On a wall in my workroom a parade of New Yorker covers by Sol Steinberg, one of my favorite artists.
Also birds there on a high shelf.
Then there are birds in my bathroom.
Scissors in need of a parade marshall.
Thread spools in marching band formation.
Plants on the windowsill.
And lastly, Bonnie, Sam & Isabella, the wonderful doll grandbabies Joslyn, Erica & Lesley presented me on May 14 2000. They were calling attention to my wishful, not yet fulfilled grandmother status. This trio is a sweet reminder & a very funny gift that still gives.
That's it for now.
