A Peek At My Key Chain Collection


Keep in mind, that I have over 400 of them (the last time I counted)....also, some of these were gifted to me by family when they traveled, others are from my own traveling days.  And of course, some just caught my eye and I bought them. I started this collection when I was a young teenager.


And a big thank you to Emma at Just Having a Yarn.   By asking to see more of my collection, you have inspired me to do something with it.  I have one idea to start with.  It may take all year, but it's better than keeping them in boxes forever.
 

 From India

 From Hawaii

From Brazil

From Florida

 Camping Lantern

From Tupperware

From a Whale Watching Boat Tour

   From a trip to the waterfront

 Mini Maracas

 Remember when those plastic shoes (pink one) were in style?

A few fake drinks.  Although the Coke bottle is glass with actual liquid inside. I'm not sure if it's real coke or not.

Mini toothpaste tubes and sticks of gum.

   A few ways to travel.

From the Bahamas 

 From a Hotel In Spain

 Mini Bible

 Florida Keys

From Childhood.  I think this came from our elementary ice cream social.  Back then, the prizes were much more fun.

My sister's and I used to ice skate for fun.

Mini Tool (I have different ones)

From London.  I am pretty sure this came from my older brother.

A Fake Saltine Cracker.

   Remember the movie E.T.?  The movie theatre I watched this movie it, is now an upscale bar.

   I took many flights out of Detroit during my Travel Agent days.

A mini harmonica from a hotel in Brazil.  This was from my sister's traveling days.

  From my childhood.  I still love Rock n' Roll!

From Fuengirola, Spain (it has a pad of paper on the inside).  I think the pencil is in the box of key chains somewhere.

  From Buenos Aires, Argentina

From Toronto, Canada.  A train trip to see the opera and sites.

That was so much fun!
I remember the Tupperware key chains...do you know when those were made?

Very interesting collection. I've been seeing so many bloggers sharing their collections, is someone hosting a party for collections or something?
I don't think 'dust' is an official collection...but I've amassed quite a bit of it. I don't think anyone would want to see it! LOL...

enjoyed these, Pat
I don't know when they were made, but I used to host parties when I was in high school. The consultant is still a Tupperware dealer today. I wish I could collect the other ones they made too.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
