Lighthouse Collectibles
I love lighthouses. They take me back to long, leisurely vacations on the beach, watching the waves lap up on shore. They make me think of rocky shorelines and ships that pass in the night. If you love these beacons of hope as much as I do, lighthouse collectibles can be a great way to bring a taste of the salt-water air and the sound of the sea
Chatty Cathy
Chatty Cathy was a doll produced and manufactured by the Mattel Corporation in 1959, and first advertised on television in 1960. The doll spoke eleven phrases by pulling the string in the center of her upper back, which was very revolutionary for her time. Seven more random phrases were added in 1963, and she was the second most popular doll of the 1960’s
Willow Tree Figurines
Since the year 2000, Willow Tree figurines have been one of the most popular items for collectors and gift givers alike. What began as a few angels and a nativity has grown to an entire line of graceful figures that celebrate any occasion. I received my first Willow Tree figurine a few years ago, and now I am absolutely hooked on the simple beauty and
Old Dolls
A couple of weeks ago, I was helping my sister clear out her attic. She had all kinds of toys from her childhood, and most of them seemed kind of worthless. A few of them seemed like artifacts that she could most likely pass on to one of her nieces or nephews, but for the most part, everything else seemed destined for Goodwill in the trash.
Collecting Madame Alexander Dolls
I love figurines and I love collectibles, and I can satisfy both of my fetishes with the very popular line Madame Alexander dolls available today. These beautiful creations are much more than just a mere toy; each one is a carefully crafted work of art. The beauty is all in the details, from the long strands of hair, to the hand-painted
Collector Dolls
Almost everyone has something they collect. Though some would think that I collect dust bunnies, I do have other things that I like to buy and keep in a collection. Some of the most common things that people collect are memorabilia from a singer or actor, stamps, plates, and coins. Some collect knick-knacks in a certain theme. There is something about
Beer Signs
I started collecting beer signs in college. Since then, it has become one of my greatest passions, but back in the day, I began it on a whim. I think it was more of a dare, actually. I was joining my first fraternity, and the initiation was to steal a pub sign. It wasn't one of those neon beer signs. Actually, it was kind of old school. It was designed to look like an antique
Civil War Antiques
As a history buff, it is a great pleasure for me to be able to collect antiques and relics from times gone by. I love medieval antiques, but generally they are out of my range. I also love World War II relics and owns several of them. My favorite period of history to collect from, however, is the American Civil War. Civil War antiques are the pride of my
My Investment Of Barbie Collector Dolls
I stumbled on the world of Barbie collector dolls by mistake. I was not the type of person who traded things, and I never thought of myself as much of a collector. I really wasn't even aware that I had a collection of Barbie collector dolls that would have made many women in this country green with envy. Nonetheless, it was the truth. I
Barbie Collector Dolls
I spent all weekend helping my mom clean out her house. She's something of a pack rat (to put it mildly), so there was quite a lot of junk to go through in her basement. As we were cleaning, I found an old box of toys that my sister and I played with when we were younger. I almost tossed it with the rest of the trash, but have seen too many episodes
Harley Davidson Collectibles
Since 1903, the market for stylish motorcycles has been dominated by the Harley Davidson Company. They are the bikes that everyone that wants to look cool, wants to own. For some serious bikers, it's much more than a mode of transport; it's an entire culture and way of life. Harley Davidson collectibles are therefore, very popular, and appeal
Collecting Coca Cola Memorabilia
Not many soft drinks can claim to be so much a part of popular culture as Coca Cola. From its first production in 1886, it grew in popularity and became the favorite drink in the world and a best seller. Coca Cola memorabilia is big business and many people are avid collectors of old and contemporary items. The company has always given a lot of
Dragon Figurines
When I was a little kid, I used to be quite fond of dragon figurines. As a matter of fact, I had pewter Dragon figures all over my room. Some of those dragon collectibles were great. My favorite one was about 2 inches tall and standing upright on two legs like a person. It had a red crystal it in one of its claws and was apparently breathing fire. Although it
Coca Cola Memoriabilia
I remember when I was in my friend’s wedding, and we traveled to her mother’s home to stay for a few days before and during her wedding. Her parents had the most amazing home I had seen in a long time, but the coolest part of the house was not seen until we went into their finished basement. There we found a room full of Coca Cola memorabilia
