Prim Addictions

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday. I know I am, Through My Back Door. The coffee is DD, I can't find my Kona anymore, (sob, sob. whine, whine)
Anyway come on in and lets sit out on the porch. It is nice enough today. Don't you just love being out in the morning and everything looks so fresh and life is just good. Doesn't matter if you have problems, you just feel so happy.

Sitting here, this is what we see.

Very quiet. A flock of turkeys may wander across, or a deer may run down to the creek and through the woods across the road. Otherwise we can just have our coffee and chatter away.
Anyway, are you addicted to prims? Do you have collections you don't even remember starting? One day you realized I have a collection of these! Well, as you know I am going to sell and move, so I am trying to make my house not look so cluttered. It is impossible. You all know my  philosophy by now. Have only the things you love around you, and that includes people. Well it is hard to put things you love away. They are all special. Thought I would share just a very few of my collections with you today.

Baskets are something I just love. This is the only Nantucket Basket I have. A Mothers Day gift from Deb, several years ago.

These were both made by special friends.

An old one. A gift from Curtis.

All  of these were made by special people. The little one on the right on the second shelf, was made by a little Cherokee lady name Miss Maudie and was a gift from a friend. The one on the left was made by my high school history teacher, who since passed away.

 See what I keep in this one!lol This is a handmade one from North Carolina.

The one on the right is a very old one.

Again the one on the right is very old.

This is one of my favorites. Curtis' grandmothers willow egg basket.

 I hate to say this isn't near all of my firkins. I keep flour, sugar, corn meal, etc in some of them in the kitchen. Schwanns ice cream containers fit perfectly in them for liners.
Well I hope you enjoyed your coffee and our visit. I have more collections I will share on another day. I am hopelessly addicted to prims. I admit it. However I am not buying anything anymore, as there is no room, and I don't want to move it.
Thanks for coming Through My Back Door today where life is good.
betty
PS: My mother and grandmother would be appalled that I am not doing laundry on Monday morning! They ALWAYS did.
PSS:I couldn't post pictures of some of my possessions, without posting one of my favorites,that"owns"me.

 I had moved the ottoman and disturbed him.lol See the long deadbolt that was installed on my door AFTER the burglary.
PSSS: Amanda has had a fairly good week since her last chemo.Thanks again for all your prayers. Others in blogland have needs too, so we must keep praying for them.
