My Favorite Material Things in the Rv

Since 2003, family and friends have been giving me presents either for a holiday or for no reason at all…Most people who rv travel full time don’t have as much “things” as I think I do in our home…To some it might look crowded but to me it’s HOME…So I want to share some of my precious things…

In the fall of 1999, after I had met and fell in love with my soul mate, the kids, Richard and I went down to Arundel Mills Mall to look around and possibly go to the movies…Whether or not we went to the movies I have no idea…But in the Mall there is a Bass Pro Shop…So many things to buy in their but we just wanted to walk around in that store…After everyone was done looking around, we went back in to the mall part and the kids handed me a bag…Inside the bag was this stuffed frog on a lily pad and when you press the button on his froggy hand, he bounces up and down and ribbets…To this day, it is my favorite from the kids…Thanks Josh, Brandi and Misti…Along with items from the kids, I have magnets that I have kept since they were in school…The grades when they got those magnets, I have no idea…So long ago…

Of course now that the kids are much older now, I don’t think I am that special any more since they all  have families of their own…but they will always hold a special place in my heart…I bet the kids can’t believe that I still have these magnets…lol

I love hummingbirds…Those are my most favorite birds in the world…So since my kids know that, Brandi, Josh and Misti liked getting me hummingbird items for my birthday or Mother’s Day…I have 2 plates, a music box, and other small hummingbird items…Even my ex sister-n-law and niece’s family got me a hummingbird feeder for the window & a hummingbird bowl…My sweetie got me a wooden music box…My bestie gave me a beaded hummingbird keychain but I don’t use it as a keychain but I hang it up to show off…I even got a tiny Mexican style hummingbird when we took the Western Caribbean Cruise on Carnival Cruise Lines…

The glass hummingbird is from my son, Josh…It’s beautiful and when we move from place to place, it gets wrapped a lot…

 

This needlepoint hummingbird was done by my youngest daughter, Misti…Still have but I’m sure it needs dusting off…lol

This hummingbird spinner is from my son and daughter-n-law, Sandy in June 2012…It does not get hung outside…It hangs from my valance in the rv on my side where I sit…It is beautiful and I do not want it to get ruined…

 

At one of the Mountain Man Festival’s near Harpers Ferry, WV, Richard and I was walking through the festival…We came upon a ceramic that he liked and we bought for him and I saw this…Richard bought this for our rv (and me)…

The one thing we have in our rv is lots of stuffed animals…They range from about 6 inches to about 24” and we have about 65 stuffed animals…These 2 were given to us by my eldest daughter, Brandi before we left our house in 2003…They are still with us and are put out around Easter (when I remember to put them out that is…lol)  She also gave us Bruno, our 24” tall German Shepard…No need for feeding or walking or picking up after him…I clean off the dust and straighten up his Mickey ears about once a month…

Most people know that I am a Walt Disney World fan and mostly a Tinker Bell fan…but when my youngest daughter and her husband, Chad were stationed in Sicily, she sent us this Mickey & Minnie Mouse set…They both are made from lava rock and it’s the most precious thing that sits on our coffee table…I do wrap these up very carefully as well so that they dont’ break cause we won’t be able to get another set like this…They also gave us a true gift from France, a miniature Eiffel Tower…This sits with my hummingbird items on my side of the entertainment center…We also like some things from the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas…We like Jack and Sally…Richard collects the Disney pins of Jack and Sally and for one of our Christmas’ about 3 years ago, benownst to Joshua, he got us the tree decorations of Jack and Sally…

We like to buy spinners but the ones we buy stay in the rv…We have 3 spinners that hang from the ceiling when we are stationary…There is a little hook in the ceiling and a chain hangs from that…On the end of the chain, I add an “s” hook and attach the spinners…Here is my Tinker Bell spinner and we have a Mickey Mouse and a dragonfly spinners…All of these spinners were bought at the Epcot Flower and Garden show at Walt Disney World so they have special meaning for me…The dragonfly was an anniversary gift from Richard to me…The Tinker Bell and Mickey Mouse spinners were birthday gifts to each of us from us…lol

Richard and I went on a Carnival Cruise Line cruise to the Western Caribbean..Cozumel, Belize, Costa De Maya and Progreso…On one of journeys in to one of the towns and a trip or 2, we came across these beautiful Mayan paintings done on a suede material…They are both gorgeous and just had to put them in frames to show them off… 

So far, that is some of my favorite items that I have in our rv…I still need to take some more pictures of my favorites cause I just can’t pick just one…Then I can add another blog about my favorite things that I have in the rv…
