Other Hobbies..??

I have butterfly gardens. One summer I had at least 25 chrylsalis on my deck and for days there were all stages of the butterfly at a glance! I loved going to the Spice Bush and seeing the googly-eyed catepillars-too cute! We also collect pottery (McCoy and Roseville), and antiques. The antique category covers a LOT! R.A. Fox prints, anything related to sewing, Iris and Herringbone depression glassware, old linens and doilies, etc and too much ETC!

Wish I had some of the pencils my kids had for a fund raiser (for school) they said "DON'T DO DRUGS" the lead point part was at the DON'T end and DRUGS at eraser end once pencil was used and sharpened said DO DRUGS needless to say pencils were a hit with students and sold out twice: once teachers realized.. pencils were taken from students and given plain #2 pencil. they then reordered with saying going other way.

Yes, each member is assigned a number and we all try to collect other members personalized and numbered pencils as well. They are displayed in numerous ways, one friend lined the walls and ceiling with hers. Mine are sorted into shallow file drawers and some are on display boards or in pencil boxes and in tall colorful jars. There are a thousand ways to sort and display. Thanks for asking!
