I forgot to mention that I used to make quilts (by hand) and I gave away every one I made. I also collect Fenton glass birds. I'm not totally addicted to the two things above, but they are always on my mind when shopping. I am also addicted to Pepsi, food, and cigarettes. I don't drink alcohol except on holidays. My biggest addiction is Daves Garden. If I can't get here for some reason, I start going through withdrawal.
OK...admit it ! What other addictions do you have?
Withdrawal .... is that what it's called .... lol.
Makes you sort of feel lost, doesn't it Shirley until you get a Dave's fix. LOL
POOR CC....... sending you a big hug! I wish I could help you. I know you have had a very tough year and a cold one also!.... and to make matters worse, you forgot ce-ment chickens CC!!
Oh yes Brugie, I am so addicted to my computer I have been giving up all my other addictions!
Yeah but kell,I did say chicken related items...c-ment chicken is related!LOL
C-ment chickens deserve a place of their very own CC!!
hmmm......I wonder what i'm addicted to ?!?
I DO enjoy the Brug collection and the collectors -- you have brightened up my life!
I breed and show little white fuzzies -- Bichon Frise doggies they are called -- and the addiction can be overwhelming! We have seven in residence, now plus four two week old puppies. D.H. has some occupancy rules, but I tend to forget what they are. We raise them all as part of the family.
It's a real challenge keeping garden and doggies to live together!
There is no method to my madness. I'm like CC, i collect dust, lol.
I do collect dolphins...i have tons of them (even a tattoo, lol). Unfortunatly when the twins (dhs kids) were going through their not-so-nice stage (not that theyve gotten out of it) i packed most of them up for safekeeping. Eventually, we will move and leave no forwarding address and i can display them.
plant wise, i have have brugs and bulbs, but not nearly enough of either.

vines, and fishing lures!! I can't ehlp it I love to go fishing with my DH and every timei go with him to look at lures. I but more in the buggy tahn he does. some of them is just because they are cute and he laughs at me and says that i will not get anything to bite that! and my lure is teh first one he puts on his pole!! Go figure......
LOL MsJen! I can relate to the 'leave no forwarding address'!!! Too funny!
Alocasiaaddict, LOL
Oh Pollygardening, I have never had a dog but I really want a Bichon Frise! I saw a puppy in Lowes a few months ago in a guys babypack on his chest. It was the cutest little dog I have ever seen. And so friendly. I went home and read all about them online and they sound like such a great pet. I have an old cat though, and I just can't upset him now. But someday!
Kell, they are probably the best companion dog there is -- but high maintenance, like must be brushed every other day, and you use a blow dryer after bathing. Properly groomed, they look like stuffed animals (but they are still just doggies at heart). I'll be in Chicago May 18 for the National -- there will be 200 of them at the hotel!
Bichon.org is a good web site.
Oh gee, high maintenance? That just put a pin in my want balloon! I can't even maintain me.
But I will check out your site and lust!
add roses to mine I have found a lot that i like and i am going to start me a hybrid tea rose bed.
I love hearing about all your foibles, collecting and otherwise.
Brugie, I think making quilts is a wonderful skill. My mama did needlework, and her hands were never idle.
I think a real touch of Americana was the ladies gathering to chat and make quilts together. Perhaps if your gardening ever becomes too much --- maybe in your later years -- you'll return to quiltmaking.
