Thanks Craig....I'll try that next time......Picasa, PaintShop-Pro, Lumix, etc. You name it, I've got it......just have never sat down long enough to learn all the tricks of using them........

Seattle is a bit far to come for lessons......Microsoft country!!  John used to visit Boeings in the past..... :hi:

Rosie, I once vowed never to buy a glass animal, then I bought this hedgehog: http://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/CzechGlass#5432668265232393970

Now I collect these: http://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/ErikHoglund#5460074489599343538
if you click to the left there are four more (I know the hippo does not look like a hippo), does anyone else think the fifth one looks like a dinosaur? If not, what?

Oh John,  I love Exbor Hedgehogs.....there were 2 listed this week,  but too expensive....I will have to sell one of my Leerdam ducks to afford one. 
I did buy very similar one.....Neubert Bleikristall which will look lovely with an Exbor....

I love Scandinavian Glass and I was silly enough to sell a Hoglund Lady Bottle with Face stopper!!  Eeeeeek!

Yes. I'm sure it is a Dinosaur, and I saw one of the 'Polar Bears' listed recently & was very tempted!!

Thank you for sharing your fabulous collection ....I suppose I should catalogue mine....might make me sort them out better!!

I hate to encourage a thread to get out of hand - and this one has certainly lost its way..........but, just for all you animal lovers......two pics. of some vertibrates, although in the main not that recent.   The elephants I have put up some time back, and believe they are provenanced as pipe rests - and date wise, possibly somewhere in the late 1930 to late 1940 period.   The U. example is quite nice, and the owl has a full Baccarat back stamp - roundel and word.

Oooh, Paul,  you have just redeemed yourself!! :thup:

The thread hasn't lost its way....just hit a cul de sac. :sun:
