Things I Collect – #L&SR #WednesdayBlogChallenge
Welcome to #L&SR’s Wednesday Weekly Blogging Challenge July 15, 2020 – Things I collect! Wow, so many choices, so little time. Please have a seat, grab an iced tea or lemonade out of the cooler. Be sure and try a chocolate chip or peanut butter cookie and I’ll try to narrow it down.
Here we go.
Over the years I’ve collected a great many things. I have an owl collection that includes, jewelry, stuffed, & ceramic statutes. Got tired of dusting them all, so most are now packed away in a box, except the jewelry. More recently, I collect ceramic tiles from the places we’ve visited in our travels. Pictured are just a few. Also in our RV on the fridge we have magnets from all the places we’ve visited. This collection is quite substantial but I don’t have a picture. Darn it. It’s fun to peruse the magnets and tiles recalling the adventures we had in those places.
Also I collect rocks and dragons. The rocks are polished and spread outside around a planter next to the front door. I can enjoy them each time I walk outside, but I don’t have to dust them. LOL On a rock hunting expedition, we found a fossil of a dinosaur partial spine. It’s really cool. The dragons are scattered all over the house, from large metal sculptures to a collectable set I’ve had for years. Yep, I do have to dust them. LOL
I would be remiss if I didn’t at least mention that I collect BOOKS. I have a whole library upstairs of books collected over mine and my hubbys life time so far. Nancy Drew series, Trixie Belden series, Hardy Boys Series, Harry potter series and lots, lots more. But don’t we all?
So there you have it, the things I collect. How about you? What do you collect?
Alas, I must return to my writing cave where deadlines loom with final galley on my upcoming release HIDDEN GYPSY MAGIC, and Chocolate Raspberry Magic is in pre-galley now, and on a new WIP sixth book in A Demon’s Witch Series(very exciting and coming along very well) so let’s see what other authors collect.

Pssst… While you’re here, don’t forget to check out my paranormal romance/mysteries click here.
School’s out. Looking an exciting read to whisk you away from your ordinary world into a magical, fantasy adventure ? Got just the thing lets celebrate Christmas in July with A WITCH’S HOLIDAY WEDDING, second in A Witch’s Journey Series.
A little about A Witch’s Holiday Wedding:
Elemental witch, Pepper McKay and former Navy SEAL, Lathen Quartz built Lobster Cove Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center on enchanted McKay land. Wedding planning goes awry when the couple spends Thanksgiving with family in Colorado, a Maine snowstorm fills the center with injured wildlife, Lathen finds himself drawn into a covert military mission, and Pepper wants to cancel the wedding. Is she having second thoughts? Will the nosy McKay ghosts, Lathen’s werewolf pack, Pepper’s parents, and her best friend help or hinder the wedding and holiday plans?
Thanks for popping in. I really appreciate it. Next week, July 22, can you believe it? Anyway next week’s topic – Character names in books I can’t pronounce! Oh that should be fun.

Those are great collections! And yay for no dusting.
Yep, I hate housework but love a clean house so…. Thanks for stopping by Jennifer! Have a great day!
Your dragons and rocks are beautiful! How many of each do you estimate you have?
My grandparents have an outdoor rock collection, too. Some of the rocks came from the fields my grandfather ploughs as new ones emerge after the winter freeze/thaw cycle (he’s a farmer). He generally keeps arrowheads and similar stuff indoors as they turn up. I hope he gives them to a museum someday!
I have 25-30 dragons. Rocks I probably have 100’s Like your grandparents I keep special rocks, arrowheads, fossils etc, in the house. Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!
Love your rocks and dragons. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/07/wc-071520.html
Glad you enjoyed my post of rocks and dragons. Thanks for stopping in.
Oh! Love your rocks and DRAGONS! Yep, I’m a fan. Enjoyed your post, Tena.
Thanks for stopping by Mary! Loved your faerie collection too!
Books are so great to collect. We’re now collecting the sculpture tot makes (he’s super into sci-fi) so we have a lot of creatures now taking up our shelves. I like the tiles, though. those are great!
Hey Megan. Thanks for stopping by! Books are wonderful. LOL
Oh, I love your dragons, Tena. They look so cute! I used to collect fridge magnets when we lived overseas. They were so much fun. They’re in a box now but I have plans to turn them into a mosaic to hang on our back deck. One of those “one day” jobs.
Its so cool that you find a dinosaur fossil. I like owls as well. They are such fascinating creatures to learn about.
Oh, yes Owls are amazing creatures. That dinosaur fossil is one of our favorite pieces. Thanks so much for stopping by Anna!
Your ceramic tiles look like a really neat collection! Magnets sound fun, too. After bookshelves, the fridge magnet collection is one of my favorite things to see whenever I visit someone’s house because they’re all unique.
That is so true. Thanks for stopping by RS!
I love the dragons! And finding an actual fossil is pretty cool, too.
The ceramic tiles are neat! My husband collected dragons, too. So much so that his urn sits on top of our entertainment center surrounded by them. It was only fitting. 🙂
Magnets are so useful. What a great idea for something to collect!
