Me vs Collections

I am a bit of a collector. A bower bird perhaps… I find pretty things and start collecting them. I think the lure of the chase draws me in and the more I get – the more I want.

I first mentioned this little green man right HERE

From the first moment I was given a hand me down Oscar the Grouch toy, I developed a must have attitude for him. I now sport a rather Large collection of Oscar Memorabillia, including coffee mugs, glasses, PJ’s, toys, pictures, clothing, hats, books etc

I’m not even sure we want to mention the Care Bear fanatical….

shortly after being introduced to Ebay. I discovered that you could purchase 1980’s Care Bears at pretty good prices. So bought on a frenzy of buying that saw me purchase possibly 10 bears all for less than $15 each. I have way too many residing around the house, but I figure if Miss K is anything like me – she will appreciate all the different coloured bears when they are having tea parties together ;)

So now it’s onto books. I’ve mentioned a few times the Berenstain Bears books that I loved as a kid.

After reading a few to Miss K – she has discovered she LOVES them.  Every night we read at least 1 Bears Book and after reading and re-reading the bears holiday one night, I decided to pop over to ebay and see what I could find. 10 mins later 4 books were winging their way to us. We have given her 1 already and put 3 away for her birthday. Well it seems I’ve caught the collecting must have bug once more, I’ve been ebaying just now… I’m currently bidding on another 10 :o

YES TEN!!!
