I used to collect elephants years ago and mother bought me a suburb one for me (that Sharron now has) but decided to keep it herself and also collect.them. I stopped collecting elephants, not that stopped Mum buying them for me and keeping them. |

Like you Uzziln I ended up with so many collectables from 2 aunts MIL my mum / grandma /friends of mum / daughter / had the stuff for years of course collection enlarged by me with china and crystal bells / ducks / pictures (enough to fill The Royal Academy - not that they are worth much) tortoises then about a year ago decided enough is enough so got all into boxes and was going to take to auctions (had asked family... nobody wanted any) but like good ideas it's put aside till later then about a month ago one son who lives up North came and was aghast "your not throwing that out are you" :-| result he and wife are away with most of the boxes I hate to think he is carrying on the family tradition of being a hoarder...they will be sorry HA! :-D |

Hi Uzzi.......if you don't want them I'm sure charity shops would be only too pleased to sell them on. |
