That?s good size collection.  I have around 550 pieces. I?ve been collecting for over 30 years; that?s my excuse.  lol.   I have mine in curio cabinets although right now they are stored in their boxes because I recently moved.

I only have a few of the Expo pieces. I agree that they do appear ?fancier? than the normal line pieces.  Some of the regular line pieces are so attractive because of their simplicity I think. You had mentioned Garden Getaway and I think that piece is so desirable.  Did you purchase Spring Surprises?  I like it but didn?t love it.  Is it one of those pieces that is even cuter in person?

I agree.  lol.  Did you ever go to the Mouse Expos ?  I belonged to the Michigan collectors club in the 90?s but it disbanded.  I never went to the Expos and I could kick myself now.  So many cute pieces that now are either hard to find or are priced so high.  Did you see the piece on Ebay now that is the magician?  So darn cute.

How big is your collection and how do you display yours?

Oh no. I?m sorry.  I now purchase them online from Fairytales, eBay, or the WFF trading post.  Where do you primarily purchase yours from?

I have never seen that jack in the box piece before.  I would suspect it will go for a very high price.  The piece with the gnomes went for over $700 on eBay today.  I have never paid a price that high for a piece nor do I think I would.

So hopefully this goes through. I?m
Having some operator issues I think. lol.  In any case, I can?t remember the name of the Hallmark store I first saw the WFF at. After that though, I found a local store called Plain and Fancy who became my go to for the mice.

Hi Meghan,

My name is Julie. I live in the Detroit, MI area. I started collecting WFF when I was 19 years old.  I?m now 52 and except for a period of around 8 years, I have always collected the mice. I remember walking past a Hallmark store and spotting them and I was hooked.  I create miniature settings for my mice.  I generally use kits to achieve this.  My dad is an avid woodworker so I am trying to learn from him how to use the band saw, etc so that I too could create some other and more intricate displays for the mice.
