Halloween is right up there with Christmas for being our favorite holiday.  While out shopping my husband saw me admiring the Raggedy Ann Pumpkinhead figurine.  He knows I can never pass a display of Halloween decorations without checking them out.  He liked her as much as I and then we both noticed the matching Andy figurine as we were walking past another shelf.  Their was...

These Santas were made in very small runs, and each are hand painted by the artist.  They are about 9 inches tall.  The red glaze is particularly luxurious and has an almost textured feeling.  The black is deep and rich.  The white trim on Santa's outfit gives a light and soft feeling. The artist was Marion Church Martin, who was born in Victoria, British Columbia, and s...

I am soooo not a knick-knack kind of person, let alone figurines!  However when we received this Lladro as a wedding gift I was blown away.  It wasn't anything we registered for and other than this I don't even own a figurine.  Like I said it was a wedding gift, which gives it special meaning, and to make it even more special it was a gift from my dad.  The figurine ...

I bought this beautiful figurine of a black and white cat during my trip to Northern Ireland back in early 1990's. This was the first time I saw resin animal figurines, and I was amazed at how detailed and realistic those animals looked.

On a recent trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama, I wanted to buy a souvenir of one of the best vacations of my life. We had rented a house directly on the beach, and I had been through one of the most stressful times of my life, prior to our trip. So when I found this wonderful angel, I was delighted. It would always remind me of my "heavenly" trip. The angel is manufactured by Enesco, and t...

When we had our coffeehouse/cafe, I enjoyed decorating it so much. I had white bookshelves with collectibles and Victorian theme items for sale, a book area, games for families to enjoy, and a stage where my husband and I sang on the weekends. We had a white fireplace on the stage, and several  large figurines. One of my favorite figurines was The White Rabbit from "Alice In Wonderlan...

I love collectibles and especially when I get them from the one I love. I got this figurine as a gift from my wife when we were in school, about seven years ago. I have kept this one safe till now and intend to keep it safe as long as I can as it was one of the first gifts that I received from her. I remember the day when she gave me this and said to "Keep this with you, as it will remind ...

I have to start by saying that I absolutely hate knick-knacks.  I have a few tschochkes here and there, but all in all my decor is fairly simple. When my son was born, by grandmother bought me a figurine made by Willow Tree.  It was a mother holding her son, and it looked just like me and my son.  I fell in love with it!  I have since gotten one for my husband that looks lik...
