The World According to Leslie

I know everyone has heard the song from "The Sound of Music"...."These are a few of my favorite things...."! Well... today I'm going to show a few of my favorite things. (I just hope I can get the pics to work right....LOL!) First, I have some pics of my Salt and Pepper shakers. Please know that this is NOT all of them. This is just some of the ones that I really like. I think they are some of the cutest ones I have. :) Of course...there is one rule to collecting salt and pepper shakers..... I do not buy them for myself. I have close to 200 sets (probably...I've never counted) and I have not bought a single pair for myself. First we have a 1953 Corvette. Tony bought these on our 1st Anniversary when we toured the Corvette Museum in TN. The top comes off and is the salt and the bottom is the pepper. Here is the Space Needle. Tony's mom bought me these when we went to Seattle, WA back in 2001. (That was November....she died 6 months later....so ...

I am so happy! I am typing this on MY computer! My brother-in-law put all my programs back on for me. I have my sister her computer back! I'm loving this! I can put addresses back in my favorites and I don't have to type them in every day! This also means that I will be putting up some pics soon! I have pics of Chasity playing baseball! I have Dance pics! I also have pics of my unicorns to put up...I have someone interested in giving them a home!! (Plus... i"m going to try to get some of my S&P Shakers on here so I can show off some of my favorites!) This also means that you should look for my stuff on eBay soon! I will have it up tonight or tomorrow night! *I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!* Until next time........

Recently (just a minute ago) I visited Avr over at Just to Write . Today she is talking about things we collect. She collects unicorns. So in her comments today, I added my comment: Well... I collect Salt & Pepper shakers. I have been collecting them as long as I can remember. The rule is that they have to be unusual AND I don't buy them for myself! They have to come from other people....My Grandmother has the beginnings of my collection at her house. Some of them date back to WWII. Her uncle sent them here from overseas when he was fighting in WWII. So that is why I started collecting.... HOWEVER... I too have a collection of unicorn stuff. It has been packed up for a couple years now. I have seriously thought about putting it on eBay just to get rid of it. I started collecting those on my 7th bday. A friend gave me one for my bday and I loved it. Then I would see them everywhere. Then it became an obsession for a while! lol Now I think I'm just going to stic...
