More stuff in my office

Okay, so a long while ago I started a series of things that
are in my office that most people don't get to see. This is
one of the shelves in my office. It is filled with some of my
favorite books. Below is a picture of the shelf cleared off of
everything except one of my favorite books
"Where the Wild Things Are" and a couple of Wild Things
I have managed to find at yard sales.As you can see I also
keep my Boba Fett Pez dispenser up there and a game
ball given to me from a church all-star softball
game for hitting in the winning run.

Then here below is a set of my favorite books
"The Chronicles of Narnia". I have an updated set,
but I love the look of the old set. I bought this set
at an auction at the local public library.

Well hopefully this has given those who read this a little more
insight into me. A little more insight into why I love the Narnia
books; I read almost the entire set in one summer.It was the summer
I spent with my sister and brother in law in Iowa. It really first
opened my eyes to how enjoyable reading could be and
how much imagination there was to be used.
Tim really helped me withthat as well that summer.

A Red Bull

This is another item on display in my office that not many people get to see. It belonged to my grandmother who had it on her top shelf for as long as I can remember when we would visit. Over top of the shelf was a picture of a brass bull with a red background that my brother inherited. It is a little out of place amongst much of my stuff. But I always loved it at my grandmother's house and I still think of her everytime I see it. How about you? Do you have anything in your house that doesn't really make sense to others, but is there as a reminder for you?

My collection of cups

I wasn't sure what to name this collection. Cups, mugs, steins? I went with cups, but as you can see it varies. Most of them are used for drinking either ice tea or hot tea. Since I posted my new favorite drink yesterday I thought I would make a series of posts of my favorite things. The next one was going to be my favorite "cup" This first one below. But then I realized I have this collection most of which sit on a shelf in my office and are rarely seen. So I may get back to the series of my favorites, but for now I am going to start a series of things that I display in my office that are rarely seen. Starting with my "cup" collection.


This one I bought at the
Ohio Renaissance Festival last year.


This one if you had really good eyes could see
I bought this one at the
Maryland Renaissance Festival in 1998.


This one was a gift from Lee, one of my best friends,
for being best man in his wedding.

This one was made by another one of my friends Pat.


I received this one and the below in a box set for Christmas one year.




And this one is definitely my favorite for my hot tea.
It was bought for me in England by Lee when he was over there.
