:D That is so funny! I remember that my Polish grandmother wore a babushka which is what a cloth head scarf is also called (probably the style worn by old Polish grandmothers).

I collect puffins, anything from carved ones to clothing, jewelry or art work or books with puffins on them.

Raggedy Ann and Andy since I was little girl! One of my guest rooms is all done in Ann and Andy dolls. I am lucky enough to have all of the original Knickerbockers!! And books, a childhood dream was a library and now I have one! And nativities from around the world that I have picked up during my travels. I also have a fairly large collection of dust!!!

I collect geckos - not the live ones - in Tucson. In CT, I collect pitchers - great for when someone gives me flowers and when my peonies and hydrangeas are blooming.
