Almost a week late this time, so lets make this QOTW for next week! ;o) This has been a bad week for me.

Do you have any wildlife, animal statues or coin banks in your home?

I have fallen in love with these cute quirky statue coin banks and bought two in the last few weeks.

Did you ever find something in the stores that is a must have?

Now, I have Country Bear and his friend Bullwinkle. I guess if I see anymore different wild animals coin banks, I will be a sucker and buy them, LOL.

See attached on the bottom!

Those are so cute Doris!! I really try to stay away from any kind of knick knacks. I do have one shelf in the living room that has some animal statues. There is a wolf, a fox, a cougar and a couple of Bluebirds.

I know what you mean Donna! Knick knacks=more dust collectors! LOL!

But then again, IMO some knick knacks makes a home feel homey!  Sounds like you have just the right amount and not to many.

I'm hooked on these cute little coin banks, so out with the old knicks and in with the new knacks, in my house. ;o)

Take some photos, would love to see your little collection.

Oh Greta!

I know this is way late, but I was so so sorry to hear of your loss of Sugar Bear. I peeked at your board and found out. As you know I lost my Buttons too just about the same time. My heart goes out to you. It's never a easy thing to lose something you love so dearly. I can relate and just went through the same sadness as you. I bet they are both playing together and waiting for us on the bridge. Hang in there girl, the hurt gets better as time goes on. We buried Buttons between my garden angels, where my other chi is, Willie dog, he died 3 years ago at 14 of heart failure. Surprisingly my little Jr., Buttons son, is doing well and is now sticking like glue to me during the day.

I have a bunch of stuffed Teddy's and one actually talks to me if I squeeze his paw. He is called "Hello Teddy" He was sticking his head out of a cardboard box at church from a collection of things donated. LOL, just looked like he needed a home, so I took him to stay with my other 5 Teddy's and low and behold, I put some batteries in and he started to talk to me, LOL.

I have one stuffed California quail that you squeeze, it has a real quail call, it's from Audubon. It's part of a bird collection and I just love it. Hubby worked at a nature center and brought him home. I wouldn't mind having a few more. Hum there I go again!

Your collection sounds great! I love bunny statues and have a white ceramic one with pink ears in among my inside potted house plants.
