I was recently inspired by another blogger to start sharing some of my favorite things.
Hope you enjoy seeing some of my treasures.
This photo of a very contented kitty is tucked into my cubby cabinet in our home office. I discovered it at an antique shop many years ago and almost didn’t buy it. I’m glad I did — I smile every time I look at it.
This miniature antique watering can is displayed with other miniature enamelware in our dogtrot.
I used to be an avid mountain biker and began collecting miniature bikes several years ago. This one, made out of buttons and wire, is one of my favorites.
I never tire of looking at my antique dog collection. The terriers are my favorites.
For many years I’ve used this tiny little piece of pottery to store toothpicks in our kitchen.
I bought this tiny crocheted elephant to give to my sister — she collects elephants — but I just couldn’t part with it.
Sorry, Melissa! You may get it one day.
I love seeing some of your faves, Kim. The bike from wire & buttons – clever! But, oh those dogs, especially the terriers. I fall for those, too, and end up giving them to my daughter with the Welsh terrier (whether she wants a collection or not, lol). Yours are absolutely adorable. Most of those pictured look to be metal (my preferred – sturdier).
Yeah, I love my doggies. I think they’re made from cast metal or cast iron. They do have some weight to them for sure.
I so love all your favorites!!! What are the dogs made of??
Thanks, Elma! I think they’re cast metal or cast iron.
So much fun to peek into your collections! Thanks for sharing!
You’re so welcome, Kate!
I love that little bike made of buttons and wire.
Ain’t she a cutie!
How cute! I love the terrier playing the violin. Where do you put your little dogs? I find the cutest little things but they tend to get lost in cabinets.
I display them in a antique stepback cabinet in my living room. I can’t add many more to my collection without running into the problem of them getting lost from view!
Love the wire and buttons bike. Actually, love all your collectibles. Visual treat.

Thank you, Joy!
love the cute dog collection esp. kim:) the elephant is great! i cannot crochet a thing!
Me neither, Lynn. My mom tried to teach me several years ago, and my stitches were always way too tight, so tight my pieces would curl. I finally gave up in frustration.
I am so glad that you shared some of your favourite things with us. I really liked the small bicycle made of wire and buttons. So simple and so wonderful.
So true. Your anthique dog collection is really really beautiful. For me, English Bulldogs are adorable and my favorites. 😀
Best wishes from Germany,
