Okay, I just had to share this...For the last 20 years or so I've been collecting snowmen--I love everything snowman, snow-woman, snow-boy, girl, etc...Last year I started buying "Williraye" figurines. I LOVED the snowmen and started buying and bidding on them on eBay.
Around Christmas there was one in particular that caught my eye. I bid on it, and didn't win. I had a little bit of a chuckle a couple of weeks ago when I was unpacking some snowmen and saw that I'd forgotten that I had that exact figurine that I'd lost out on. Today I was putting away the very last of the Christmas decorations (I know, I'm a bit behind) and I pulled out a box, opened it, and guess what? Yes, it held that exact same figurine...I've ab
solutely no idea when I bought it since I don't even remember getting the first one! At least my taste is consistent!! But maybe this also explains why we have so many of the "same" dog; I just keep forgetting that I already have one--or two or three or...

Hello Kim,
ReplyDeleteOh this post sure brought a smile to my face. I have done the very same thing only with scrapbook idea magazines. I see the cover on the newstand and am so excited to read the ideas inside. I make myself a cup of tea and begin to read. HMMMMM....this page looks familar and so I read on. HMMMM this page looks familar too. You guessed it I already purchased this magazine. I am embarrassed to say that I have done it more than once.(heheh) Oh and as far as having so many of the same dog...I say you can't have too much a good thing :) Have a great week
Mimi~
I WAS JUST ORDERING SOME SHIRTS ONLINE AND REALIZED I HAD ALREADY ORDERED THE SAME ONES A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. SO I CAN REALLY RELATE!!
ReplyDeleteI GUESS OUR FORGETFULNESS WORKS OUT FOR US SOMETIMES AS WITH YOUR COLLECTING THE "SAME" DOG!!!

he he you made me smile about getting the same dog ! I don't know what posessed me to get a second retriever as we only have a small place. Dillon was supposed to be a cat when we went looking !...but couldn't resist those puppy dog eyes & he had the waggiest tail I've ever seen !!
ReplyDeleteI love the snowman on the sheep - no wonder you chose it twice !
I only just put the decs in their box & in the loft - they were piled up on the kitchen table for days !!!
Kim,
ReplyDeleteThanks for my laugh of the day.
I also have a few piece of Williraye ( Halloween of course)
Though the snowman one you pictured is priceless.
I have never heard of Wiiliraye, but I know I would love them, as I too collect snowmen.

Those are so cute, I can see why you like them :)
ReplyDeleteHello there, Kim
ReplyDeleteGREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!
...and thank you for popping by to visit us. It is always wonderful to make new friends and get to know a little about their lives.
I really LOVE your blog!!!You have a way of writing that really inspires me and I will be following you intently!
You seem to live in an absolutely idyllic place (some more photos sometime perhaps???) - It seems like the place I would gleefully visit just to sit down and write!
As for your Goldens....you are indeed a special person.
I love Macquire's story. He reminds me so much of Max. Goldens take on a special 'aura' when they reach that age - something that not many people get to see or allow themselves to be treated with. I am sure he will honour that gift to you if you adopt him - although I can surmise that your dog-food and vet's bill must be enormous!
Anyway, I hope we can get to know each other more in the future. Good luck in all your endeavours this year.
Take care and lotsalicks,
MAXDOG (& MOM-CARYL) IN SOUTH AFRICA
hi again - talking of sleds & sleighs over at mine - as I said on Bella's country Blog - imaginine harnessing a dozen Golden Retrievers to a sleigh ... the results would be chaotic !!! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat? You mean you're supposed to buy a magazine only once? I'm forever doing this...I thought we were supposed to! ha!
