Friday Shoot Out - Collections

It is Friday and FSO time.
Since I am older than dirt, I have had many collections. It got so I had no room for all my collections.
So I gave some away and focused on others.
Now there are a lot of places in my town to find collectables.
New shops
Consignment shops
Goodwell
Antique shops
M & M consignment on the spot shop.
In this shop you take your items in, the owner and you agree on a price. It is then hers and you get your money on the spot.
That shop is full to the brim.
But things are very neat and all items are grouped today.
Now that is what I like.
To go in and know where to go for my favorite collectible.
Cobalt Blue Glass.
These are new pieces I got this week.
I usually look for small pieces to add to my window sills, but I found these two mugs with birds on them and they are now my new tea mugs.
  I just love these two wall vases.
Had never seen any of these before either.
Isn't this the cute thing. A tiny little oil lamp. 
It works too, has a wick and holds oil.
I put it next to the cup to show how small it is.
This is my favorite place to shop.

This was one of my favorite pieces in the shop, but not on my list of collectibles or in my price range.

  My collection of angels.
I gave away many of them but these were all gifts from special folks.

"Angels Gather Here"

 Collection of brass pieces.
Pitchers and candle sticks mostly used at Christmas.

Go here for more Friday Shoot Out.
I like to collect quotes too.

“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.” — Anais Nin
