Souvenirs

Dunmowin · Guru

I have collected tea towels for years. They are all in use now, and I still buy them... When in a caravan permanently, there is not much else you can collect.

We used to collect window stickers for the back of the car or caravan, but they look unsightly when they are starting to peel.

I like collecting spoons, I have a few favourites. I also collect, postcards and lots of photos. One day I will organise them all into albums for the grandkids....one day.

Memories!!!! And friends!!

GaryKelly · Guru

Hehe... stone chips. Nice one, Olley. Photos for me. I had a friend once. We were on a beach when I picked up a smooth stone and said, "This stone will always remind me of this day, and you." I still have the stone but I'm buggered if I can remember who the friend was.

Me, too.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes, friends come and go, but enemies accumulate.

Or should that be

Yeah, we collect tea-towels, plus lotsa photos 'cos the memories can get a bit hazy over time! I love using my tea-towels from all over!

Even though ours have faded a bit, I love it, when drying the dishes, looking at the latest clean towel, and saying to Mr D, "remember the day when....."

Have thrown a few out, and replace a few.

Hats....hat pins......grand children, I'm up to 13 grandchildren and I don't think there will be any more!

We get a postcard from every place we go to and put then in a book with dates ect so we can look back on where we have been.

Cloak · Guru

I had forgotten about tea towels, my folks used to collect them and I think I might pick up some on the trail too.

Hat pins - just what is a hat pin? Are they decorative badges?
Over the years we seem to collect cats too, down to 2 now thank goodness.

I'm going to lie down now.

Yes Dunmowin, ditto. smile

One thing that's not so good nowadays is they seem to be getting more expensive. cry

Yes cloak. Hat Pins, Decorative Pins. I think there is another name for them as well.
Most towns will sell them with their name on and a picture that references that town. They should be called Tourist Pins.

I used to collect hat pins, until one day while out fishing the darn hat blew off and sank, sunk then drowned. I was so upset I didn't wear a hat for years. biggrin

Now what you needed was a real hatpin. I have one, a pin about 6" long that goes thru the hat, then thru your hair (if you have any) and back out thru the hat to keep it on your head on a windy day! Plus I suppose it could double as a self-defense item biggrin biggrin
