Tea sets collectibles

It's now summer in Thailand. However, the weather for the past few days was even colder than in winter. Whenever the weather is cold, I like to sit in the garden drinking tea or hot chocolate. This tea set was added to my collectibles by my eldest daughter when she was an exchange student to Kansas, USA in 1996/1997. This miniature tea set is made as a serving set . Though, I wouldn't dare drinking from it, I just love the whimsy of these little sets.

Christmas Golf Balls

Perfect gift for the golfers.
This is a gift from my eldest daughter's host family whom she stayed as an exchange student in Manhattan, Kansas during 1996/1997. Three balls namely, Reindeer, Christmas Tee and Jingle Balls.

Undoubtedly, they used to be white. As the years fly they all turned to yellow. Never been once hit by a golf club.
Thanks to Ken and Pat Embers.

The Wizard of Oz

If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh why can't I? last line from Over the Rainbow, soundtrack from The
The Wizard of Oz.


The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children's novel written by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by W.W. Denslow. It was originally published by the George M. Hill Company in Chicago on May 17, 1900. It has since been reprinted countless times, most often under the name The Wizard of Oz, which is the name of both the 1902 stage play and the extremely popular, highly acclaimed 1939 film version, directed by Victor Fleming with Judy Garland as Dorothy Gale . The story is about a girl named Dorothy Gale who was swept away to a magical land in a tornado and embarks on a quest to see the Wizard who can help her return home.

Back to the year 1996-1997, my eldest daughter, Foil was an AFS exchanged student to Manhattan, Kansas, USA. Upon completion of an exchanged programme, her friend Irlanda gave this music snowglobe to her. It's now one of my favourite collectibles.
