I was reading Janets blog the other day and she mentioned that more than 2 of anything is considered a collection....so it got me to thinking...YIKES thats always scary...
I have WAY TOO MANY COLLECTIONS then and i didnt even realise it.
So i thought id share with you my biggest collection...well its not THAT big...is it ???
My cushions !
Ummm i think i counted 38 (including a few there without inserts...and im sure theres some more hiding in the linen cupboard too) and i have 2 more on their way to me via Aus Post....ummm...Does anyone see a problem here???
Now, one might ask what does one do with all these cushions?? Well umm, i look at them...*tee hee* and i admire them...and SOMETIMES i let people sit on them (but i have to straighten them all up before i go to bed, or i cant sleep..i lay there thinking Are my cushions all straight?????) Shane thinks this is serious OCD behaviour and gets a good laugh out of it! Sometimes he will dare me to go to bed without tidying them up.....i really try to...then i end up running back and straightening them all and screaming at him to Just Leave Me Alone, You Dont Understand!!! All the while he is absolutely wetting himself laughing at me. LOL.
At least they dont have names...yet....
So what do you collect??? Im sure theres someone out there with way more cushions than me..??? Please please show yourself and come join me at Cushion-Aholics-Anonymous.
Im begging you. Dont make me be the only crazy one.
Ok now im off to put them all back in their places and admire them some more....
ahhh sweet sweet cosy cushion heaven.
HAVE A GORGEOUS WEEKEND EVERYONE !!!
I think i may go shopping and buy just one more cushion....one more cant hurt...
Love and Pink Kisses,
Shann xxx

Hi Miz Shann! Thanks for dropping by to visit my blog, I hope you'll always feel welcome there.
Of course you can join our photo challenge, we love it when people join in. Joni is our hostess this round and she chose ORANGE as the topic for the current challenge. Just drop by her blog at
http://www.justjoninjava.blogspot.com/
and let her know you're joining in for the challenge for June 28th. She'll post your link on her site and I'll also post it on mine. The hostess for the challenge also selects the next hostess who selects the next topic and post date.
I'll email your link to Donna, at Made in Heaven, too cause she usually posts links to the participants too.
We are having so much fun with this and are so happy that you want to join us.
P.S. LOVE your cushions!
My sister plumps up the cushions on her lounges as soon as you get up - she doesn't even wait until you leave or bedtime :-)

Hi Shan,
Thanks for offering to rescue me from the 'out of control paper mess'. As you can see I have escaped and survived my 'Non-Spring Clean'.......but just. That was some serious studio cleaning.
The good news is, I found lots of things I forgot I had.
Loooooove your pretty cushion collection. If we belive Janet, that more than 2 items constitutes a collection then I am in serious trouble!!!!
Off to hide my many collections. LOL
Hugs,
Kerryanne
Hi Shann,
Loooove your cushion collection, I too always like to straighten up before I go to bed, but I don't HAVE too, I won't loose sleep over it, LOL but we all have our quirks don't we.
Cheers Linda
come on shan confess thats not your BIGGEST collection is it.. just how many CHAIRS do you have???????
What do I collect??? Anything and everything - pitchers, anything "PINK", pillows, LAMPS!, plates, computers! and pretty books are just a few of my favorite things, my little robin!!!!!
Smoochies,
Connie
Umm, sweetie. Did you not tell me you bought more cushions today?
Mwah.
I love your cushion collection, they are so pretty! My daughter teases me about the little birds I buy here and there. They are just so cute and can be tucked in an empty space so easily.
Have a great day!
Hugs!

I **LOVE** your cushion collection! I WANT it!!!! :) :)
Where do you get these because they are beautiful!! Or do you make them?
I absolutely love them. Id probably want to name them LOL see, Im just as bad as you!! ;)
Love Candy
p.s
I found you on facebook and added ya :)
Ok I'm assuming that those are all put on the bed for picture-taking purposes and that is not how your bed that you sleep in every night is? They are very pretty by the way!
Hmmm didn't I see you at the last chair anonymous meeting too sweet lady lol... Love your pillows Shann! The robin egg blue one is beautiful!!
Hugs, Susan

Beautiful Cushions!!! Brenda contacted me to say you will be playing along on the Brenda Photo Challenge!!! Wonderful! I Also added your link so people can come by and see your pictures!! Great Blog by the way!!!hughugs
Hmmm.. let me think... FABRIC! And rosy china. And old rose paintings. And chippy, peeling, rusty stuff. And vintage handbags... I think I may need to join a group of some kind =) Blessings... Polly
Sweet Shann... Thank you for coming by to check on me. I've not been feeling too well the past several days, but hopefully I can do some catching up today. Loved this post with all of your beautiful cushions! Not too many, in my eyes. I have more collections that I am willing to admit to. Maybe someday I'll confess to them all... LOL
Have a beautiful weekend, Sweetie! God bless...
~hugs 'n love~

Your pillows are lovely!! I'm the same way about mine being straight! I'm also adding your link for the photo challenge. :)
Shann do all those cushions live on your bed or did you just collect them from around your home for the photo? Please tell me you don't really put all of them on your bed every single morning, I have trouble with my THREE in the mornings.
I'm trying to uncollect (is that a word)
Hi Shannon,
I reckon I could rival your cushion collection! I'd have to go and count but I have the same problem.... Hee Hee. Sometimes my Husband can't even SEE the bed!!

Hi Shannon,
I'm a lurker here and your ebay store! My question is - how do you actually fit in the bed with all those cushions!?! Or do they have a special place where you place them, neatly of course! I understand the insanity completely..my poor bf has to contend with me 'bin scabbing' off nature-strips every time there's a hard waste collection! I'm on a chair mission at the moment, lol.
Drop by my blog sometime, although my place is 'grasshopper' to your lovely home sensei ;)

Well good day to you sweet pea, I am loving your cushions or pillows as we call them over here. I too have a pillow fetish. It's a serious addiction.....is there help for us out there??? Have a wonderful weekend. Hi to Mum Coll.
Hugs,
LeAnn:)
Thanks for visiting my blog! I absolutely adore your cushion collection, it is just gorgeous! And I would have to make sure they were all fluffed and adjusted too!
Kelly
i LOVE your cushions....every single one! and i have a problem leaving any cushions not straightened up either...but don't think i worry about them at night! :)
i used to keep quite a few extra on our bed and my husband just thought it was so "impractical"! can you imagine! :)
love it!

A girl can never have too many cushions, too much glitter and sparkle or too much pink!! I love your cushion collection and it looks like as is our house, our cushions are also admired greatly by pussycats!! I am forever cat hair removing my own special cushions and if you try and put them somewhere they can't get to them it just makes it more exciting for them and they will hunt them out...other people cats get mice..mine get cushions!!! Have a comfy day, kiss noises Linda Lilly Cottage.
Oh my gosh! Shannon, I just had to stop here....what a gorgeous collection!! I love all your pillows...you rock girl!
