My Place and Yours: My Collection



I can so join in this weeks theme. Thanks to Meet Me At Mikes and Fox Lane I can now show off my lovely Noddy collection.

When I was a child my nick name from my mum was 'Noddy', don't ask me why. Slowly people started giving me Noddy books etc, the collection grew and grew. Most of the collection has been given to me. I love showing it off, because I love seeing the reactions on people's faces. They either burst out laughing, stare in amazement or start talking about their childhood. When people start talking about their childhood, the discussion is almost like a therapeutic session. :-)

You will notice on the second shelf Noddy from Jaboopee is still there being a leader to all other Noddy's.

  11. Great, I love it how your collection is so specific and abit random- wonder how many Noddy collectors there are out there? I used to actively collect Felix the Cat stuff- and word gets around doesn't it- next thing, everyone was giving me Felix stuff (I had a Felix 21st birthday cake!)
