Collective Nouns

My sister Kate from Fox's Lane is this week's theme queen for My Place and Yours. The theme she has chosen is My Collection.

Whenever I think about collections, a line of comedian Steven Wright's comes to mind: 'You can't have everything. Where would you put it?' Which is why I just collect red things; it narrows it down some.

I have been waving my red flag high for the past ten years, during which time I have accrued a lot of great treasures. Here are some of them:

Thank you Kate for the great theme!

Now, I'm going to put the kettle on for a nice hot cuppa while I drop by Meet Me At Mike's to see what everyone else is collecting.

Totally awesome! I've got a bit of a blue collection going, but it's nowhere near as impressive as yours! Love it!

I too have a thing about...well red things. Tea tastes better out of a red whistling kettle

Oh I love all your red treasures! Especially the red shoes, we all should own a pair of red shoes at least once in our life - I had a pair of red jellybean shoes when I was about 11! Oh I loved them so and still think of them fondly...sigh....
