This is one of our spare bedrooms. It is packed with Noah's Ark collectibles. I made the quilt about 10 years ago. It has 50 animal blocks, everyone is different. It is all paper pieced.
On the wall you will see a Noah's Ark wall hanging. I found out just a few years ago that Jerri Lander's did the art work on it. I recently won one of her art prints.
There is a Noah's Ark lamp that I painted and with the hubby's help we wired it.
Across from the bed on the dresser is a Wade Noah's Ark. Every animal on there was collected one at a time from premiums on Red Rose tea boxes.
There are coloring books, reading books, cards, puzzles, clocks, watches, water globes, a Mexican pottery set, picture frames, candles, and even games all featuring Noah's ark.
This wall hanging I embroidered a block a month, a pattern from Lynn Anderson.
This Elbreth pottery set I found on Ebay for a little of nothing compared to the new cost of it.
The same friend cut out this set and I finished it. The lid lifts off and the animals can be stored inside.
Another one rest on top of the same beam.
I started collecting Noah's Arks many years ago. I was always fascinated with it. Once things became readily available I pretty much stopped collecting.
To show you how long I've been into collecting, look at the date on the envelope, April 1962. This is a get well card I mailed to a cousin's husband who was in the hospital.
I even wrote him a personal note.
Years later Herb's wife found it and gave it back to me. I put it away and forgot all about it until I rediscovered it this week.
I found it the same day as a cousin post his wedding picture on facebook!
And that's my obsession. Oh did I mention, I was in love Herb when I was only 10 years old???
