Oh, my, those Princess dolls are just gorgeous, I think I love every single one! I think my most prized object, is an Isabel Bloom my parents got me when I had my daughter. They brought it to the hospital with with my favorite kind of flowers (Stargazer Lilys) and balloons. I have it sitting right next to my computer screen, and a photo of my daughter. It makes me smile whenever I look at it! I didn't take a picture, but I managed to find one online:

MY METAL HORSE COLLECTION (with an exception of a carnival horse and a dog) All of the following horses are over 50 years old. (except for the mare and foal and the small brown one (you can tell, its in the pic with the rocking horses) My Cocker Spaniel metal I got from the antique store. Its a little blurry and dirty, but I'm working on cleaning. ;3 Three metal horses. The two at the bottom were part of a collection. I found the bay (one with black hair) in Indianapolis and the chestnut (all brown) in Kentucky. I'm still searching for the rest of the collection... My metal horse bank and my non-antique metal mare and foal. My three metal horses, the bottom two are from Kentucky and my big horse, my sister got here in IL from an antique store but it says its from Kentucky... My one carnival horse from IL, the copper rocking horse is from IL too, and the other one is from Missouri. The other horse isn't antique but I still love her... ;3 All of my beautiful prizes together... ;33

Really? Thank you! I got her last year. She is REALLY old. All of them are. My oldest is probably two horses that look alike. The bay and the chestnut. xD

Mouse-Dogs just chew on anything they get their paws on, don't they? :/ I'm sorry. Your dogs have special toys, too? Our dogs had a duck named Dookie and a blue pug named Blue, I believe. Both are...-cough- gone now. ; THanks for the link, I'll have my Dad bid on them if I can. They're cool!

I don't think I really have a favourite object - I am a pack rat, I have loads and loads of things and they are all my favourites. Basically whenever I get something new, that is my new favourite thing! My stuff is spread throughout the house - my room, the spare room, my mums room and the throughout the living areas. I like it to be on display so people can marvel at it and wish they had it! Like Nakisha's piggie a few of my special things have fallen victim to doggies. My dog Charli chewed off one the pompoms from my pink popple and she chewed through the ear of my Mr. Dunlop fox (it's a stuffed fox from IKEA which I call Mr. Dunlop), she must have a thing for IKEA plush because she also tried to eat my IKEA mice (I am planning on buying her a set of her own). She also completely ripped apart my sisters 'Beaver' bear which was a cloth pillow in the shape of a yellow bear which my sister had since she was little. We did keep it in a plastic bag for ages but then mum chucked it away - I was planning on eventually making a new toy with the stuffing of beaver so it would be sort of like beaver but then he went in the bin. My older sister has a doormouse creatively named 'Doormouse' that is all matted and has one (or no eyes - also the victim of a doggy many years ago). My sister won't let her baby touch doormouse and she still sleeps with it sometimes. My other dog had two special toys which eventually got thrown away. One was a white rabbit plsuh that came free with some pyjamas that he used to take to bed with him and then he had a Mcdoanlds gorilla from Tarzan that made a noise when you squeezed it and he really liked that too. Gillian (and Anna) - matchbox made a carousel that you might be able to find on ebay that I think you two would like. It would be a nice addition to your carousel collections. Here's an ebay link so you can see what I mean: cgi.ebay.com/Matchbox-Carousel-Horses-Animals-Ponies-1980s-Toys_W0QQitemZ300199003924QQihZ020QQcategoryZ30QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemOmg! Those are too cute! Thank you so much for posting them! I think I'll have to make an offer or bet... ;3 They would be perfect.

But I can't think of her name!? Anyway, my most precious object is my puffalump. I've had him since I was 7 (21 years, now). Here's an internet pic of him........ Thanks for looking.....

My most prized possession is my stuffed dog, Cleo. My mom got her for me when I was 14 and almost had to have knee surgery. I sleep with her every night. She even comes to college with me, where I have her seated proudly on my bed! Here she is:

Most of my stuff from when I was growing up was given to my brother or my mom kept it. I do have a few things. My first Teddy Bear. My girls take good care of him now. I had to steal it from my mother. She wouldn't give me any of my old clothes that she kept for the girls. I was at her house one day and I went to the basement while she was outside and found the box with it. I do treasure him. I will probably keep him and not let the girls take him. I have another bear that I got from my mom. It was a snowy bear and she only had enough to get one. Me and my brother (who is 10 years younger than me) would fight over that bear. It was so soft and I would sneak out to the living room and take it with me to sleep. I would always get caught in the morning. So I asked and asked her to have it for the girls. She finally gave in and said I could have it. His pom pom got loose and he lost some of it but I still love it. I do have a couple of fairytale books that my mom got me. I love the artwork in them but she consider them hers and let my bother have them. I could have killed him because we went there for a visit after I had moved in with Don and he was having a small yard sale and they were in it. He also sold all of his original TMT and ghostbuster figures. I wish I would have gotten those. I bought the fairytale books though. They are not in good shape and I have been thinking of replacing them but to find them could be hard. I will post some pics when I can. Thanks for sharing all of your pics....
