Oooooh......
Miss Child, that sounds just wonderful.
 You just collect the LOTR books, or..."HOME", and all of that kind of thing?

It is definitely an advantage in this case that Ravensburger is a German company - I found that puzzle by chance in the supermarket, just walked past a shelf where it was on my way to the groceries!

Well, I have to admit that I collect more books than anything else. It's the librarian/archivist in me! Plus....remember how Bilbo's study looked? Mine is just as cluttered with papers and stacks of books with bookmarks in them. I've been buying Tolkien books off and on a long time--all the way back to the mid-sixties. Most of my treasures came from garage sales and library book sales where I rescued them from the depths of some bargain bin. I have a lot of paperbacks, some hardcover, a few fancier things. For the last few years, I've also haunted e-bay. My stuff takes up two good sized bookcases. But, to tell the truth, half of the fun is in the chase. You look for some things for a loooong time, and then unexpectedly you find it. So you pat yourself on the back and start all over again! I do have all of HoMe, mainly the US editions. But some of my stuff is more lively than that, since one of the main reasons I collect books is for the illustrations. There are lots of Middle-earth artists I like, plus JRRT's own pictures. I have several posters plastered on the walls of my house that go a ways back. (They peacefully co-exist with my husband's baseball collection.) More recently, I've started buying a few calendars and oscar ads, and lots of postcards -- both from the movies and the books. Postcards are fun because you can afford to indulge even when you are broke. And all my collections are heavy on hobbits! I also love things like statues, miniature pewter figures, little boxes and such. These go on top of my piano. Like you, my prize movie treasure is Sam with Bill the Pony. And my prize music cd is Starlit Jewel (the one from Marian Zimmer Bradley). I just got a cross stitch pattern for two scenes from the movies. We'll see if I make any progress on that. Interestingly, my kids both have small LotR collections too. My son's is heavy on Gimli, and my daughter's on Legolas. Basically, I live in a house which is peopled with Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, and members of the old Brooklyn Dodgers!  **************************** Ooh, Esty, that is nice! To pick up such a puzzle when you are grocery shopping!

Cross stich pattern, Child?? Where did you find that? Which movie scenes does it depict? Now if someone would only develop a nice LotR patchwork pattern...
