Just playing with some of my latest little treasures today, and thought I'd share some pix. Be sure to click on the pic if you want to see it a little bigger.
Here's a shelf in my office, with those roly-poly author figures, tucked in with my other author figurines, all standing in front of vintage books. You'll see Mark Twain, Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and George Bernard Shaw. The pigs belong, too, as one is called HAM-let, and the other Pig-PEN. I don't know how the mini chamber pot thing happened, but there they are...
At the Lions Show I picked up this pretty "Bathing Beauty on Shells". I love Victorian shell-covered boxes and miniature 
dressers, and I have them surrounded by beach-themed items: Mermaids, Bathing Beauties and Naughties, and some tins, sand pails and other items. This is just part of my collection...
Here's the link to an online auction catalog from a BIG auction that had a great many lovely Victorian Shell Art boxes and other items. And you can see (and buy) some gorgeous NEW shell art boxes that look like antiques. And you can read a little bit about Mermaids, Bathing Beauties and Naughties.
Another thing I collect is vintage LIMA OHIO memorabilia, with the emphasis on bottles. 
Recently I won a killer paper label Lima whiskey bottle on ebay from a wonderful seller who goes by BURKY145 on ebay. Here's a pic of that BROOK CLUB bottle, with my NATIONAL WINE Lima bottle that has a super label, too...
