I didn't mean to give anyone the willies, nightmares or creep them out. I just wanted to show my work. :-) The people who collect do so for their own reasons. Mostly, just because they fall in love with a face or maybe one will resemble a baby from their past. Or maybe, they just think it's cute. There are lots of reasons.

I'm not sure but I think I know which ones you are talking about---I have one that is just solid pink with a little hobby horse... It would take me a few days to find if you are interested. ALSO, if anyone has any other ones I would love to trade....I would like to have all of them....

moccasin, I laughed when I came in to post to this thread again. I was saying to myself, these people are really going to get sick of me from now on, because I think I'm going to have fun with this shed and will be sharing it all. Perhaps I need to start a new thread or cease altogether for awhile so as not to hog the forum? Thank you for the great idea about the shoe and other nice comments and suggestions. I take them to heart. Just awhile ago, I was sitting down there thinking about how fun it would be to hang a funky, little crystal chandelier from the rafter over the table. Too bad, when I purged the garage last Fall I put the perfect one out near the trash, altho I had removed all the hanging crystals from it before I did. Someone took the naked chandelier part anyway - in a flash. Now I'm sorry. BUT - I suddenly happened to think about the candle chandelier that hangs outside in the privet arch during the summers. Bought it long time ago on clearance at KMart at 75% off, I wanted it all season but couldn't justify the $25. It's a Martha Stewert I think. Probably have lit it only once in all this time. So I took off in the rain and retrieved it, emptied all the water out of the holders, wiped them out, wiped down the by now dirty candles and look - how nice! I used a big hook I found in the toolbox, and the table needs to be centered under it but I didn't want to disturb Pretty who was snoozing in the chair. Plus, it doesn't need electric. I can't wait to try it, yeah, I'll have a bucket of water nearby just in case.

I agree! When I got the catalog and took a look, I thought...what the hey!?! Not only was the stuff weird and unappealing, the catalog was a mess and barely readable. Whoever published/printed their catalog used WHITE print against LIGHT backgrounds...I couldn't read what some of the product descriptions and prices said! Yet someone at RH had to approve the catalog before it went out. I hate to say it, but that person should be fired. That was a total dereliction of his/her job duties to let that catalog go out like that. I've been to our local store several times this year. They renovated it, repainted, redesigned it, etc. NOW they don't carry much of what is in the catalog. The clerk will have to order it online for you (no shipping fees that way). I couldn't take a look at some things I had seen in last year's catalog, because the store doesn't have even a sample sitting out (like task lamps). They did have samples of most of their drapes, and that's where I bought my velvet drapes. They were clearly of a superior quality to Pottery Barn's and others that I'd seen. But they had to order them for me; they didn't have enough panels in the store to cover my window (and this was a basic camel velvet that I'm sure they sell a lot of). All their furniture is too large for my small house and my taste. I threw away the catalog, and I look at their stuff online. I figure that they are trying to become lean and mean in these recessionary times, hence the small inventory in the store. But there's no excuse for that horrible catalog. (BTW, the task lamp I bought and the velvet drapes are absolutely beautiful and high quality. They cost a pretty penny, but at least I got my money's worth. I couldn't be happier with them, and with their customer service, which is top rate.) As for their weather-washed huge furniture, another poster mentioned it was a Swiss style or something. Maybe. But furniture from Sweden, Norway, etc., is usually small scale with simple lines. The RH furniture was enormous, with round feet, large bulky posts, besides being that unattractive gray. I can't imagine that style will sell much. It certainly doesn't suit me. But then, I probably wouldn't buy furniture from RH to begin with, because of the price.
