MY Mantelpiece...

I've come back especially to do this - I've not even had my tea yet, and my bottle of rum & lime is waiting in the fridge until I decide on a DVD... but I promised you this...

I present, MY mantelpiece, with MY tat!

Main mantelpiece (l-r)... my Laughing Buddha (I have about 8 of these in various sizes and materials); my jade Buddha; my Momiji (which 3 friends will recognise coz they got sent similar ones with a little message shoved up their bums (the Momiji, not the friends)... and it's a slot in the bottom, not really up their erse); another Buddha thingy; a wee Peruvian panpipe band thing I found in the Red Cross Shop once; a photo of my previous moggy - Thomas O'Malley; a photo of the current cats; and then a variety of cat ornaments (including "Cool Cat" Scott & Julie sent me)...

Then the shelf at the left (l-r)... my Baby Dragons (who I named - l-r we have Bruno, Ember, Frazzle, Sparkle's asleep, and Flame); and then my Smash Martian from when I was wee and I thought had been chucked out until Dad produced him a few years ago - sometimes his hoarding was good!

And finally, the shelf at the right of the fire (l-r)... the Leo mug I got from Julie & Scott; a wee fairy; another fairy on a unicorn; a Chinese style figure; the Nanny Ogg & Greebo my brother & sister-in-law gave me; my Russian Dolls; and a huge vase almost chockablock of tumble polished gemstones my sis-in-law started me collecting by giving me about 30 almost 15 years ago, and which I haven't counted in years...
