If you wanna show pics of some feminine things you own (even if you're a guy! :ha:)...feel free to pop in and chat with us girly girls. ;)


I have some stuff to share and I think Janan might too...


Here's my Ashton Drake "Rapunzel" limited addition collector's doll with handpainted Knowles china that my mom got me years ago. It's over 20 years old now and will be worth some good money someday...

Her dress is wrinkled from laying in a box for 20 years but this shot shows her gorgeous long blonde hair!

Although blurry, this pic shows her profile and a barette in her hair...

Here, you can see the hairbrush she holds in her hand...

Here's close-ups of the brush...

I've always loved the story of Rapunzel, with her fascinating hair that hangs to her feet.

That's right, Janan! :waving:


I knew you'd like this thread and I thought the girls could have some fun here! :08:


I love your dolls! That one with the red hair is stunning and her gown is just gorgeous. Look at that hair! :D


Here's my 20 year old Ashton Drake child Cinderella collector's doll that's been in the box for over 2 decades!

She is stunning Sherry! You are very smart to keep the boxes because having the original box makes the value double on them! 20 years ago we didn't know that so kudos to you for doing that!

I think these belong in a girly girl thread too:

And here are a few of my dyed leaded crystal balls

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=39547&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=39547)

And my glass paper weights

<img src= "http://home.flash.net/~jeanann/2009_0121purses0023.JPG"/>

I'm looking for more - I do have a ton of them, so be prepared.

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=39548&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=39548)

I like pretty shiny things that catch my eye. :ha:

Here is my closest faceted one similar to your heart crystal that I hope you will post here too. It is a diamond shaped and the light filters out all over:

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=39543&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=39543)

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=39542&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=39542)

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=39540&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=39540)

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=39541&size=1 (http://www.bananas.org/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=39541)

My faceted balls don't have hang loops on them so I just put them on a windowsill to catch the sunlight. I do have an elongated one that actually has a led light in it so it lights up. I used to have it hanging from the mirror in my vehicle, but it is not there now so I am not sure where it it! :ha: I'm still looking for it!

Yeah my mom told when she gave them to me to keep the original boxes and all the papers. She'd intended for me to display them but I wanted to keep them in mint condition and possibly sell them one day when I'm old.

Some old lady out there even now, would be willing to pay a small fortune for them, that missed out on getting them 20 years ago and has been looking for them all these years. In 5o years though, I'll get some serious cash for them both...if I sell them. I might have changed my mind by then.


Here's an LED star light-set I love...

Here are a couple of clown dolls that I sold on eBay. They were handmade and signed and dated by the maker on the back of the neck. The girl 1984 and the boy 1986. I don't like clowns and would not have bought them but they came in a lot of dolls from an estate auction and I wanted the OTHER dolls. So poof! I got rid of them as soon as I could. BeBe my black cat really took a shine to the girl doll for some reason. (You can't pose a cat!!!) SHUDDER! I think they are creepy! I was trying to post these last night when I just conked out.

And on to something I LOVE, my fairies!!!! This is some of my fairy collection. I have dolls, figurines, pewter figures, pictures, and books. Anything fairy I love (among other things of course :ha:). And for anyone looking at these and might not know - the most noticeable difference between fairy and angel depictions - fairy wings are insect wings (butterfly or dragonfly) and angel wings are feathered.

Yes, I think clowns are scary to a lot of people because of all the horror movies about them! :ha: Have to admit though...yours are nice, Janan! ;)


I love all your things and the shots are sure terrific. Thanks so much for posting them and please keep them coming. Those fairies are gorgeous!


I enjoy angels, butterflies, moons, suns, & stars...

Yours are beautiful too. I think your little porcelain music box with the soil from your Daddy's grave is just precious. :bananas_j Very, very special!

I have disliked clowns since I was a little girl. I have always felt they were hiding something very bad behind that makeup. I never watched the scary movies about them. I always loved to go to the circus because of the animals, particularly the white dancing horses and the ballerinas that rode the big draft horses, but ignored the clowns.

More fairy stuff!

Thanks, JaNan! :waving: I thought it was special too and I like that I have something nice to keep the soil in.


I think I once liked clowns but because of movies I've seen where they've been portrayed as evil murderers I'm scared of them now and think they look mean. :eek:


Your fairies are beautiful, JaNan! :goteam: What a super collection you have. I'm so impressed. WoW!!!


I promise to show more pics shortly but it might not be until tomorrow. If you have more though...please feel free to share them. I love your stuff.

Sherry is the heart from your Mom a pendant? It is very sweet. I love all the magnets too!

OK here are a couple of my sun catchers. This is my farm logo that I designed back in the early 80's. I did the glass painting of it probably about the mid 80's - so I have managed to keep this for about 25 or 26 years. Still looks pretty good considering it has hung in several windows and made it through several moves in that time.

This is one I bought about two years ago and hangs in my kitchen window.

Nope, It's not a pendant and it's actually a lot bigger than it looks too. I just hang it on my wall. ;)

Gosh thanks JaNan...so kind of you. ;)


I really love your stuff...so cheerful and happy looking. :D


I'm an Aquarius born in February. Amythest is my birthstone but I know you love purple so I can see why you love it too.

I will show more & more of my things over time but here's another fridge magnet...

Have to post the others tomorrow because a couple didn't turn out right.


Your shots and things are fabulous, JaNan. Thanks so much for sharing.

I haven't opened up this container full of girly girl things in a lot of years...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01383.jpg


It's a stamping and embossing kit. See the moon stamp? You stamp it with glue then stamp your page...then sprinkle burgundy powder on the page and heat up with a blow dryer to set it permanently...

This is a cute little calendar with blocks that can be changed daily...

Isn't it fun looking at stuff we haven't in a long time? It's almost like being a kid and discovering toys we haven't played with in years. I guess, truthfully that is exactly what it is. :)

Finally JaNan, here's that indoor LED reindeer I was telling you I had...


It has little round mirrors and lights all over it...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01425.jpg


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01423.jpg


I added the red ball on the end of his nose because I love Rudolph and wanted him to look like him...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01426.jpg


Here he is with the lights off...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01421.jpg


Henry just loves it, that's why I'm having trouble putting it away...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01428.jpg


This is my purple snowflake mini tea set I bought a couple winter's ago at a giftshop. It has four cups and saucers and a rack to hold them in too...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01444.jpg


I have four saucers, but the other three were dirty and this was kinda too but...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01448.jpg


I loved it when I saw it because of how child-like it looked in size but I've always has a thing for snowflakes and the purple color was a added bonus. I just had to have it, although it was a tad pricey. I'm a huge tea drinker so I knew I'd use it lots, and I do...



http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC01449.jpg



Great shots, JaNan. You really have some lovely things. ;) I just love your stuff too.


I have a colored ball like yours too and I'll show it soon...


Thanks about that Irish Blessing magnet I got for Bob. I got it at a store that sells one of a kind things so Bob has the only one like it. :D

No new pics unfortunately yet JaNan, but I did go make-up shopping earlier tonight and didn't think the boys would appreciate hearing about it in the insomnia thread. :ha:


I don't really wear tons of make-up but I like mascara and lip-gloss and sometimes eye-shadow, but only at night if I'm going out.


I have a friend who wears so much make-up sometimes, she nearly needs a hammer and chisel to remove it! :eek: I tease her but of course she hates it.


Do you wear a lot of make-up JaNan? It doesn't look like you do from your pics.


I was looking at this silver sparkly eye-shadow but I didn't get it. I might buy it when I go back.


Looking forward to seeing more pics soon, and I'll take some too...

I love all the dolls, Sherry! That little baby with the tongue sticking out looks very real! The butterfly wreath is a favorite too, I have never seen one like that at all!

These are my full size carousel horses (I collect horses and carousels are one of the groups - I will take more pictures of the small ones later). This is the one Greg bought me first:

<img src= "http://home.flash.net/~jeanann/20110113%20014.JPG"/>

This is the second one he bought me. It is painted just like the first but the base is a large music box.

<img src= "http://home.flash.net/~jeanann/20110113%20015.JPG"/>

This is the last one he bought me and it is the one in the bay window with all the plants right now.

Wow JaNan...I love your horses! Makes me want to ride the carousel! :ha:


We actually have a real merry-go-round here in London for the public to ride, at a little mini zoo called "StoryBook Gardens". It's been around for years and I rode it lots as a little girl, and even as an adult. :D


Thanks about the butterfly suncatcher. It's was tough because I wanted it for me but knew my mom would enjoy it so much too. I like looking at it when I'm at her place. It's kind of special and I've never seen anything quite like it either.


Love the hair shots...too funny! Sideways, but here's mine...

Check out how cool this is JaNan! I got it today at the garden center. It's called a crackle globe and it's a solar powered LED light...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC02008.jpg


The cool thing about it is that it has 2 settings...one is a clear white light setting, and the other is a spectra setting where the globe changes many colors! :D


Check out the crackle marks it leaves on the wall...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC02011.jpg


It's a stake for the garden but I have it in a pot in my window. :ha: It charges in sun or shade.

Too COOL! The crackle glass is really a stunning effect! You know I love lights and solar are some of my very favorites! I would love to have a solar powered home. I would really like to have an electricity generating windmill too. It is very windy here and I think it would be plenty for my house and probably several others. My dream is to be totally off the grid someday.

I have a lot of solar lights outside trimming the front yard and the patio area in the backyard. You know a lot of people just throw solar lights away when they stop working? All you have to do is change the rechargeable battery and they work just fine again? Or even clean them - sometimes being outside they get some corrosion on the connector tips and that prevents them from charging. :)

My prettiest ones are cobalt blue. They surround my cobalt blue gazing ball.

That's what I was posting when it crashed this morning. All those things sticking up are solar lights.

I really like the idea that yours has a changing color mode. That has got to be almost hypnotizing to watch. :0496:

I saw they have them in different colors now. I think they would be very pretty at Christmas (though I love lights any time). But they sure wouldn't double the electric bill that way. ~J

Ok JaNan, I picked up those other LED solar garden lights today that I was telling you I wanted. I got them today because they only had a few left and I knew they'd be gone fast. These are super special...


The box came with two solar mosaic glass globe lanterns that have an LED color changing light inside too, so it's nothing but a swirl of colors everywhere! I've never seen any solar light quite like it. They're new this year. Here's one of the pair...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC02069.jpg


They weren't even expensive...20 bucks for two! :goteam:


They're already both in my windows. They're just stunning and even in the daytime the colors of the mosaic pattern is so pretty! I'll take a shot tonight when they come on...

Sherry, great minds think alike! I bought 10 new solar lights yesterday when I was out getting DH's Valentine's stuff. They are just the plain small black ones, but I love them. I just have to figure out where I am going to put them. All mine go outside.

I must say that mosaic one is the most beautiful I have ever seen - no lie! I LOVE it. That thing is too pretty to go outside that's for darn sure! Be sure and post a picture of it lit for me when you have a chance. Gorgeous!

Thanks JaNan! :waving:


I totally believe you because that's exactly what I thought when I saw them...is that they were the nicest I'd seen yet. It's because they're new ths season but next year they'll come out with ones even nicer, no doubt.


I do love them though and will show one lit tonight. Gonna go take a little video so you can see the color changes. Hopefully the video will come out accurate to how the really look...


Congrats on getting some new ones too. I like the plain ones also. I'd never put these ones outside here though...they'd be stolen within the hour!!! :eek:


I bought them for my window and for a housewarming present for my new apartment where I can put them outside. Not here though, no way.


I hate to admit it but I'm tempted to go buy two more so I'll have a set of four for my new place. I might pick them up when I'm out tomorrow...


I'll be back with a video shortly...

The videos are finally loaded this morning, JaNan. I thought the video with the light on shows more accurately how they look when the colors change, so I'll show it first...


YouTube - MOV02087 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRz4cPs-Pog)


A little inaccurate because it's too dark but here's with the lights off...

See the ribbons on it? That's why it's called "celebration". My mom always uses this set for birthdays and celebrations of any kind. ;)


Here too, is her old country roses Royal Albert bone china carriage clock made in England...

Your Mom's china is beautiful as well as her carriage clock, very girly girl!!! I love the new mosiac videos too. They turned out really well.

Here's a couple of quick shots of more gazing balls I have in the back yard. The green one is a mosaic, but no lights to it at all. And the ball with the fairy on top is the same way no lights, darn it - but they are pretty. :) The stained glass butterfly is the top of a wind chime that has crystals on it. I couldn't get a good shot of the tinklings.

Oh I love those too! I'll have to take some pictures of my Amethyst chunks. Here are a couple of shots I think I can add here.

This is a thermometer. It is liquid filled and it has numbers attached to floating balls and depending upon the temperature is how the numbers are arranged. I think it is really neat:

Yup, you read correctly! :goteam:


I knew you loved them too when you said they were the nicest you ever saw. My mom agreed that they are totally special & unique. Now one belongs to you as well! :woohoonaner:


It's LED and the panel charges in sun or shade. They light up to 8 hours a night. You saw the video, so you know how it looks when it lights up. The globe is even beautiful in the daytime as well, like your others are. :D


So, I love those dolls! That first one reminds me of Heidi, the german girl, from the childhood story I used to read. Very lovely, JaNan!

My mom bought this egg for herself for Easter, and took it out of the box earlier tonight to show me. Sorry it's kind of blurry but it should be shown laying in the box first...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC02481.jpg


It's a music box that opens and closes, and you can even keep it half open...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC02474.jpg


It has a big crystal on the top & little ones all around it...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/2nd%20album/DSC02476.jpg


She got it off the shopping channel. Here it is opened up fully. You can even keep something inside of it...

My mom told me the eggs are made by the same people that made my crystal heart with lighted LED base! :eek:


Her beautiful egg is no longer available and is out of stock because she called to check. It was the most popular one of all and I can sure see why. I love the pink one though...and the green one too.

Thanks about the chocolate/tea set. DH thinks it is gaudy and says who would ever USE something like that? It is much prettier than the pictures and that is 22K gold. Too bad you can't somehow melt that off and sell it at today's gold prices! :ha: It probably wouldn't weigh enough to be worthwile, but I am not going to say that in front of Greg to give him any ideas! :ha: ~J

I have to agree with Greg (did I just type that?) but can see why you like it as well JaNan. It is cute because it's small but I think Greg's right in that there's a certain gawdiness about it! :eek:


I hope I'm not in trouble now! :ha:


It's cool that it's gold...that makes it special. :D


I think it would be neat to have the whole set of the eggs or more than one...on display on the table at Eastertime! Wouldn't people be looking?!


Did you catch that they were originally designed for royalty? They are just so nice but I agree my mom got the nicest one. That's why it's no longer available! :ha:


Anyway, thanks for the links JaNan. ;)

Yes, I've seen that globe in the daytime and it's gorgeous! Those cobalt ones are so pretty too. You'll love the one I'm sending because it looks good at night and in the daytime.

Yes, I am familiar with that Avon Ruby set. I believe it is called Cape Cod, very beautiful!

Here is an iron and glass butterfly stake I have in one of the front gardens:

Holleyberry,

Love the doll's you have respectable collection!
My daughter has a plethora of porcelain dolls and Barbie special & limited additions, so your post struck my interest.

Janana,

Your collection is also quite unique, my wife does glass fusing which results in items similar to things in your collection. Also raising my interest.

So I have a unique interest of my own, hope it will appeal to you ladies and gentlemen too.

You have to play the link before proceeding to pictures, for aesthetics. : )

That is beautiful Sherry! Looks like natural Amethyst chips on the string part.

Thanks Ron! I have waaaaay too many "collections" of things! :ha: Love your birds, my favorite is the hummingbird one.

Jordan, those baby kitten and puppies shots are so adorable! I love animals so much. I can't chose a favorite of those.

Here's a couple of beauties that Sherry got for me!

What a beautiful butterfly pin that is...I knew you'd love it!


When I saw that musical clock merry-go-round...it was like it had your name on it! I just had to get it for you, Janan. Not only was it purple, it had horses and sparkly crystals too. I knew you would adore it. :D


So nice of you to post pictures. By the way, I recently picked you up a wonderful garden book, but not like your usual type. This one is a true story about a female gardener and her plants and gardens. I got one for me too and I'm reading it now.

Ok, here's some jewelery I got recently...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_1368.jpg


This is a classic design 14 K amythest ring with diamonds around it. I didn't have the case with me to hold it upright so I wrapped it in kleenex to hold it for the picture. The band is unusually thick too. It's the most gorgeous ring of my birthstone that I've ever had...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_1373.jpg


An adorable little heart that I had engraved for my keychain...

http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_1340.jpg


The strap is genuine leather, and the frame is 22 K gold plated with authentic swarovski crystals around the face of the watch...

Yup and they're 20 bucks, which includes the engraving. You pop it into a machine and it does the rest. You can use them for your keychain too. My mom also got one for her bunny 'Buttons.

Here is my newest Crystal purchase that I bought a few months ago. It is mounted on a circular velvet covered box with a top that is mirrored for more reflectivity. And the coolest thing is it lights up (click on the lighted picture) and changes color! All of his parts are faceted except for the mane and tail.

Thanks so much. I do have a thing for angels. :D


I thought you'd like that butterfly set. I just had to have it. The pics though not do them justice though. In person they are stunning.


I just got a new pair of North by Northwest winter boots. For people like me, wanting to invest in some serious winter footwear, these are for you...

Here is a necklace that I received for Mother's Day. The crystals all just glow and try as I may, I could not get pictures to do it justice! I has a row of crystals, a row of turquoise, and the cross is hand carved and hand painted. I don't wear it often but when I do I get tons of complements on it.

I have a lot of boots for different weather. I'll show my black ones when I get home, with laces in the back. They're leather and they're just below my knees.


I got a pink coat for Fall. It's too adorable and I've had a lot of compliments on it already. Those shoe earrings get a lot of attention too. Women love them. Men too.


Oh I just love girly girl things!!! :goteam:

There are actually mints in the box!


What's wore is that I really do eat one after shopping! :ha:


My mom got a box of the "bitch" mints! It was too hilarious the other day when she was irritable and snapping at me over something or other, I interrupted her griping with "I think you need to sit down and have a bitch mint, don't you"? We were both in stitches and it worked to change the mood.


They also had PMS and Divorce mints too! LoL.

This is one of the nicest ceramic pots I ever bought. I got it on sale when they fist started putting the season's pots on clearance in September, to get rid of them.


The shot doesn't do it justice though...you can't really see the shimmer it has to it, nor how it turns colors when you rotate it. I really love it and was thinking of transplanting something into it today...


http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_2545.jpg


Not as fancy but sometimes I like a plain simple pot and saucer too...

Oh I love that little white watering pot with the colored flowers on it. Is that ever adorable!


Keep it coming Janan...

I love watering pots too! I have a small collection of them - they are so cute.

Here is a little porceline trinket box I picked up the other day:

And this is a crystal rose my daughter gave me:

I'm not sure what to really call this - it is similar to a bird cage - but the interior is decorated with tiny gardening stuff! SO cute and I love it!

Janan that is so utterly adorable...like a little dollhouse! I just love it. How big is it? I've never seen anything like that before. Thanks for sharing.

It is a foot tall, 10 inches wide, and 7 inches deep. It is a little miniature green house. Yes, like a dollhouse. I found it at a thrift store for $4.99. I know Sherry, it is precious!!!! There is a lot of detail work and where they found those tiny little things, I just don't know! I am going to keep my eyes out for some decorative tiny bird houses to see if I can make one. :)

Ok here's my new purple purse. It's leather and I got it on sale for half price. It's so me. It looks kinda black in the picture but it's truly a purple color. I LOVE the leather flower on the front with the leaves at the bottom. The purse matches my new winter coat nearly perfectly...

It's big enough for your iPad? WOW! I think it is ultra feminine - I don't think any bit of gaudy at all!!!! NOPE!!

Thanks, Janan. :)


I've seen purses before with flowers on them that were extremely gaudy but this one is so beautiful. I had to have it. Matching with my coat was a real plus.

WOW! Thanks Sherry! :woohoonaner:

That is a beautiful and feminine tea set.

That little clear one with the gold trim is very adorable too! Is it a doll house set?

Nope Janan, it's Royal Albert bone china that's full size. Maybe the pic just made the set look smaller. ;)

The little tiny clear one in the foreground Sherry. It is much smaller than the Royal Albert. Do you see which one I am talking about?

The Hollyberry Lady
12-26-2011, 11:08 PM
Oh that one!!! :ha: Sorry about that, Janan.


That is a little gold tea pot that has crystals all on it. It's actually a suncatcher.


Isn't this gold sparkle nail polish so beautiful?

Omg I love it! I have a sparkly silver one too and I'm wearing it now. This purple one is gorgeous as well...

Picked up this cute little crockpot yesterday. It's not electric but you can put it in the oven with the lid and all. I'm gonna use it to heat up gravy or make veggies in. It looks smaller than it is but it holds 2 cups...

It can stand a 450F oven!
