Its a pin thing.

One thing I collect is Disney pins and pins in general. I have been collecting for about 10 years now so as you can imagine my collection is quite big(or what I feels big for someone living in the UK as appose to the USA). I keep all my pins on 3 cork boards and thought I'd share every now and again some of my favourite pins.

Today I have picked 5 Disney ones however in future I will share some of my Non Disney ones.

1. This is probably my favourite and most treasured pin! One of my favourite attractions at Walt Disney World is the "Carousel Of Progress", its a "ride" (if you can call it that) that not only offers about 20 minutes of air conditioned seating but takes you through the evolution of technology and family life in various decades from 1800 up to "modern day" (although this could be updated). Im still not 100% sure why it appeals to me so much as its not the most popular of attractions and it does frighten me that maybe in 10-20 years it might not still be there. I think when I was a child I was fascinated that the seats moved around the stage and the really catchy theme song "There's a great big beautiful tomorrow"and now its just become a nostalgic memory. Now before I go into even greater lengths about the attraction lets get back to the pin! This pin was part of the "Piece of Disney History 3" collection. It was limited edition (3500)and in the clear glass bubble contains small bits of feather from the a audio-animatromic bird that features in the attraction. I bought this pin of Ebay and actually collected the pin and met the dealer who was helping her son sell his pins as he was no longer interested in them.

2. This pin I got very early on in my collection, my dad would go on business trips to the USA and brought me back 6 from this stamp collection. This one sticks out most to me though as I remember wearing it one year for my birthday due to the design of the pin. This collection came out in 2006 and was a collaboration between Disney and the US Postal Service.

3.This stitch pin came out in 2006 and I believe there are a few variations that were made, or at least this is what i've seen on Pin Pics. Again this was one of my very first pins and I just think its adorable!

4. This Mary/Minnie Poppins pin (what a mouthful!) Is one of my most recent additions which I got last summer in Florida. I got it at a flea market, which can definitely be a questionable source to buy from, however I do believe this is a real pin unlike some others I annoyingly purchased there. Mary Poppins is my favourite Disney film so I love this pin. It was part of a carousel set and I believe there is a matching Bert/Mickey pin! Its LE of 1600 and came out in 2008.

5.This final pin of Minnie came out in 2008 (and I think is still available), I got this one as its just so realistic to how my mornings look! I love this design so much I have also got the matching mug!

I love collecting Pins and would love to share more of my collection in the future!
