I love the rotating photo wall. When we travel, I haunt art galleries and book shops. I have a beautiful hand-tinted copper etching of Le Chateau Frontenac from Quebec, a soft watercolor of Nantucket harbor, a horizontal watercolor of London’s skyline, a hand-carved 3-D Bavarian hearth scene that hangs on the wall and is also a music box, etc.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399778612730674599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-88843944804928074382019-12-07T09:42:36.414-05:002019-12-07T09:42:36.414-05:00My most heartfelt thanks to Hank and the Jungle Re...My most heartfelt thanks to Hank and the Jungle Reds for hosting me.

I have a few different collections. One of my larger one collections is spoons - some from travel, some were from family and family friends. I also have shells but the majority aren't from travels to far off places. They are from down the road and around the foothills to our coast. My brother-in-law had a permit for the abalone season. We saved the shells of some pretty fantastic meals.Deana Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093854261937772980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-29388210623228882912019-12-06T23:32:37.289-05:002019-12-06T23:32:37.289-05:00My step-father sent postcards during his travels o...My step-father sent postcards during his travels on the condition that he could collect them when he returned, no camera needed and he could jot down his thoughts as he traveled.Deana Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093854261937772980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-66118494226869407792019-12-06T22:06:10.377-05:002019-12-06T22:06:10.377-05:00Congratulations to Libby Dodd!

Years ago on my 2nd trip to England, I rented a car and was able to shop as the English do - stopping in "normal" stores. My mother and I had recently begun reading Martha Grimes's Richard Jury series and were in love with the characters. I brought back a 4-pack of Theakston's Old Peculiar (a favorite of Melrose Plant) and a package of fairy cakes (which Agatha consumes non-stop). I invited my parents over and we tasted everything along with a pot of tea.

I've been ...Carol, your premise is fascinating! I've been an avid sci-fi fan since meeting my step-father, Tom Godwin, whose short story, The Cold Equations, has been a source of discussion for years. <br /><br />From childhood, I've been fascinated by rocks--the colors, the shapes, the feel from smooth to rough. I collected them, but during my family's frequent move, most of them were lost. During my first visit to the Mexican Riviera, I brought back pictures of the sea turtles laying eggs on the beach under a full moon. As you so excellently described, every time I look at the pictures I smell the sea, hear the booming of the surf, and remember the moment when I was snorkeling, turned my head, and watched a barracuda longer than me swim past. <br /><br />Since I live in what was once a geologically active area, I again collect rocks, and found a small branch resembling a partially-coiled snake. The large rocks stay outside, the smaller ones are scattered through the house.<br /><br />I also have a collection of personally signed books from the few Cons I've attended. <br /><br />I look forward to reading your books!<br /><br />Diane Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335316692418166142noreply@blogger.com
