Appreciate A Dragon Day

16 January, is Appreciate a Dragon Day!

This holiday was created by Donita K. Paul, to celebrate the publication of the book "Dragonspell", the first in a five-volume series The Dragon Keeper Chronicles.

I've not read these books; I just like dragons!

In fact, I haven't read any of the making-dragons-popular books or watched the movies either.

Well, I watched the children's television show, "H.R. Pufnstuf" when young.

Dragons do a lot of the same things that I like to do, afterall: hoard books, read books, drink tea, run off irritating people, and breathe fire when really in a mood.

Enjoy a few of the images that I've found on social media, used here only for the enjoyment of my readers:

On Consignment

Kitty Cast Iron Doorstop
Shhh...don't tell The Hubby! 

I may have a slight problem with acquiring cat statues, pins, scarves, etc.  I really have more stuff than I need, but let's just say that I'm a collector. 

So, when friend BG and I visited Ditto Consignments & Design in New Baltimore, Michigan (right on Lake St. Clair!), I immediately headed for the cat display.  Oh yeah, the folks who run this store hooked me like a largemouth bass!  There were cat paintings, cat toys, cat dolls, and cat doorstops.  I grabbed the kitty above, minutes before a couple showed up to paw through the cat collection too!  There was also cat items displayed about the entire place; one has to search a bit, to uncover wonderful treasures.  What fun!

Collecting stuff is not new to me; I have a Star Trek, Original Series book and game collection; a ton of Sherlock Holmes things; "The X-Files" TV show EVERYTHING, and quite a supply of Haunted Michigan books.   The trick is to carry such treasures past The Hubby, without his noticing that I've got another armload of stuff!  If he's spotted my new doorstop, he hasn't said anything.
