Collections...part 2 "Some Seuss"

Here are some of my Seuss items, I have many and they are everywhere including my closet...er, classroom. If you want to see them up close, click on the photo to enlarge it. These items are in our basement on display. Yes those ARE Seuss baby booties-one is cat in the hat, the other is Green Eggs & ham-both were worn by Austin & Timmy. The stool used to be a central part of my classroom when I was a classroom teacher, now it no longer fits-so I keep it at home. It was an old stool I rescued and painted. I did the same with a dining room chair (turned it into Horton), but I'll save that for a later posting. The picture was a part of Austin's baby room-which was...you guessed it Seussical! He had red & white striped curtains & baby bumpers that I made . He also had a beautiful HUGE quilt of The Cat (I'll post this one soon), which I hang in school for special days. The room included other furniture that I'll post soon. 'Scuse the spackle-we haven't painted that room...YET! For now check out what I have....

Collections....

Everyone collects something (I think) in my case it would be Dr. Seuss-I've got some at home and some at school, BUT...... maybe you'd like to see another of my favorite collections....my mice! Perfect for the Holidays! Yep that's right I have been collecting Annalee mice since the 90's (?). I think my collection started with the mouse in the Santa hat (he's in the front of my display). I usually purchased or was given one from my Mom each Christmas. My latest mouse (got it last year) is the Christmas reading mouse-you can see her next to the caroler mouse in the black top hat. She's holding a teddy bear and book-The Christmas story and she wears an adorable old fashioned cap. There are lots of santas, elves,some throw snowballs, and an angel.


My sister has a bunch too- I have a few "kids", but they're not as cute as the mice. I even used the wedding couple on my cake top. (First picture) This was a feature in Annalee's doll collector magazine in 1996 when I got married. My sister helped me to make it-she made the groom's cummerbund and bow tie match my theme. I also have Easter mice and non-holiday kids(2nd picture).....my favorite kids are the reading kids-one is sitting on an ABC block, another is in a running pose with an apple and books. And when I got my master's degree.........Ray gave me graduate mouse! (2nd photo-mouse in cap & gown)
