This is so funny, I was just about to leave a comment saying, "I love me some Ginny", then I see that Annette took the words right out of my mouth. :-)

Needless to say, I love the list of the items Ginny collects. How fun it would be to raid her house! I collect lots of fun vintage goodies, but have never thought to make a list. Sounds like a new year's goal to me. :-)
