The Collection Grows - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I know it's been a long time, but since the last time I posted here I have been very fortunate to receive the lovely Galadriel Barbie (oh, she is so beautiful, the hair, and the dress is just perfect), the LOTR daily calendar (another must, I do hope they have one next year because I just can't imagine my desk without it), and the Elven frame from the Noble Collection (which was a great surprise, it was something that I just got, but it is quite beautiful, though I haven't been able to find a picture that suits it)

I am extremely selective about what LOTR things that I buy, but I do think that I will consider purchasing Eowyn's sword when it finally comes out

I am keeping all of the pictures (save maybe Nazgul and Orcs and the like). I have found that those pages fit very nicely in Polaroid-sized photo pages.

Good idea! Though I'm still thinking of taking most of the ones I like and posting them on one of the walls in my room. (Most likely the one with the most space left.)

For Christmas I received Grima and Saruman Lego men from a good friend who knows well of my fangirlish tendencies! So now little Grima is my muse, and I swear, he works. Occasionally Saruman has to whack him with his staff, because otherwise Grima wouldn't be so bitter... and that means less angst, which makes Enca an unhappy writer.

Oh, I keep all the photos too
Just because they are so wonderfully clear, and also because I guess I could use them for some LOTR related craft project... if I suddenly became creative

I'm with you all the way there! Theoden's sword is out but *sigh* I'm really awaiting Eowyn's.

Happiness! I finally got my LOTR calenders. I had to go through the official store but I have them - the desk and the wall. And I must say... it was well worth the wait.

That's a really good idea. I'm saving many of them but I had no clue what I was going to do with them all

The Tolkien 50th Anniversary Calendar is wonderful - it features illustrations by the Professor himself.

Today I moved from Old Man Willow to his vision of Rivendell.

Last year, I had the RotK calendar. Which was nice. But I much prefer this one.

Fittingly, it sits above my monitor as I browse the Downs.
