Love the little buildings -- reminds me of my Christmas Village. Do you do anything with them for the holidays?I have a Disney roomIt started out as my "Lego Room" and has become the Disney room now. I guess I don't know if I would call it a collection but I like buying ears for every outfit and just got into pins and trading. I buy a Pandora charm every trip too!

We all win!You win!
if it makes you happy that’s what matters! Enjoy !
It's very cool, because from a distance it looks like an authentic Tiffany-style lamp. But when you get closer, you can see Kermit in the stained glass as well as the Kermit column. I got it at the Muppets store near Mama Melrose's--now both going or gone, I guess. It was a comparatively expensive purchase, but I have enjoyed it for many years.
It still runs as good as ever after all these years. I dont' remember the exact cost of it in l977, but I know we didn't have a lot of money to spend on things so it probably cost around $20.00, but I'm guessing. I certainly got a wonderful bargain on that watch over the years.
I have a ceramic Cheshire cat, too! It's Royal Doulton and I bought it at Disneyland in about 1976. I later learned it's part of an Alice in Wonderland series. I also have the Alice, but I found her in a Hallmark shop in Palo Alto in the 1980s
That Alice set is very cool...I have a ceramic Cheshire cat, too! It's Royal Doulton and I bought it at Disneyland in about 1976. I later learned it's part of an Alice in Wonderland series. I also have the Alice, but I found her in a Hallmark shop in Palo Alto in the 1980s
Also in the 1970s there was a cool shop in NOS that had all kinds of different things. I bought a large gold parrot back in the day, LOL. He was a fixture in my living room for years.
On a side note, speaking of horses, I used to have a whole collection of them when I was a kid/teenager. Some were very special to me--gifts from my grandma, delicate bone china set, etc that gave them special meaning. My mom took them to Good Will when I was at college and I never forgave her!
Edited to add pic of Alice and the Cheshire Cat
I got those for my kids
I know I've heard that term used disparagingly, but I didn't know there was a book! Now I'm going to have to see if I can find it. Or do I not want to??So, yeah, I guess I am one of those "Disney Adults" written about in that book. I have it on request at the library so we'll see
Always thought about buying a tiki mug but aren't they pretty big? We fly in so that's always a consideration. However, been drinking a lot of pina coladas lately so I'm leaning towards buying one on this trip.
Saw your other post on this -- those are awesome!
Love that idea! Are the other ones any smaller than the Trader Sam's versions?a new evolving collection: tiki mugs. I have a classic Trader Sam’s one. And in July I got the mermaid lagoon tiki mug. But this collection isn’t just for Disneyland tiki mugs because I have the Tonga Room (San Fransisco) in there as well as a tropical bird one that is from Tiki Iniki on Kauai
That's a great idea interspersing them with other objects. I always wonder where I'm going to put stuff but that would work!I collect tiny specific crystal Disney characters that are special to me. I strategically place them in my bougie closet.
Well the Piglet collection is very unique! My youngest used to collect pig stuffed animals when she was younger, so we have a couple of Piglets, but nothing like yours!
This is really cool because the artist has really captured the look of Main Street as Walt must have envisioned it with the people, etc. Doesn't look kitschy at all. Love it.
Great collection! I always look at these when I'm at Disney but never bought one. They're really nice.
