Those that have visited our home get to see my crazy obsession and yes it has become and obsession.
It started out when I wanted to start collecting something and I decided on giraffe's because I think they have the cutest face. From then on it has gotten a bit out of control. In the beginning I had them all over the house but then I thought it would be better to have them all together. Not a Birthday nor a Christmas has gone by in the past 11 years that I haven't received at least 1 giraffe.
I am a bit picky about my giraffe's, I'm not someone that just wants to collect every single giraffe, rather each one has to have character / personality. Each one has their own unique story. Yes I know that sounds crazy but it's true. Depending on who gave them to me or where I bought them adds to how special they all are to me.
A few years ago I had several of them in a shadow box that fell off the wall and broke many of them. My wonderful hubby tried to repair them but only a few could be saved, however I kept all the pieces of the broken ones and they remain in the room. They are the fallen few!
So here are a few pictures just to give you a glimpse!
Love It!! Love It!! Love It!!! The knobs on the dresser are so perfect. Everything is perfect. I have loved giraffes since I was 1...I think. That year for Christmas I got a stuffed animal giraffe that became my favorite stuffed animal. So much so...that over the course of a few years I lost a few...and it was replaced a few times. The very same kind!!!
