Hello, Hivers and collectors!
I just came from visiting my friend Paloma's post Imanes en la nevera // Magnets on the fridge, and I liked the idea of sharing mine. I don't consider myself a collector at all, but this month's theme in the Hive Collectors community is Fridge magnets - hot collections on a cold surface! and of those, I do have some! So this is my first post in the community.
Some of my magnets over the years ended up in the trash since for a long time they were holding drawings that my son used to make. He loved to hang his favorites on the fridge door with the consequence that some of the magnets ended up broken.
However, some have survived the passage of time and here I show you my little collection of magnets on the fridge.
Almost all of those magnets are souvenirs from trips we have taken. I'm not in the habit of buying a magnet every time I travel like some people, but some have crossed my path and ended up on my fridge door. And now that I look at them they are good memories of the old days.
The closest to my heart
This one is not from a trip. My son made a few crafts in his school days to stick on the fridge. This is the only one that has stood the test of time. And although the photo and heart are a little yellowed they are still in place on my fridge door. 💕
The oldest
The oldest of my collection are two magnets that we bought when we visited the Van Gogh Museum on a trip to Amsterdam in 2001.
My favorites
I bought both of them on a trip we made in 2010 to Portugal and Galicia. We bought the rooster in Lisbon and the boat when we visited La Coruña.
Mafalda's Corner
In my fridge, Mafalda takes center stage. I always loved Mafalda's comic strips. Do you know them?
Mafalda is an Argentine comic strip written and drawn by cartoonist Quino. The strip features a six-year-old girl named Mafalda, who reflects the Argentinian middle class and progressive youth, is concerned about humanity and world peace, and has an innocent but serious attitude toward problems. Wikipedia
We bought these magnets in Buenos Aires on a trip in 2014, when we went to a Latin American film market. One afternoon we went into a store in the San Telmo neighborhood to buy our son a gift from the trip. We thought of buying him a Mafalda comic book and came out with these fridge magnets in addition to the book.
Others
This colorful bus is also a lot of years old. We bought it in Aruba in 2003.
We bought the Istanbul one in 2019. Istanbul for me is a magical city and I wanted to bring back a small souvenir from there.
The Disney one is from a vacation in 2011 when we took our son to the parks in Orlando.
Those of the Guggenheim in Bilbao were bought by my hubby when he was invited to the ZINEBI film festival in 2003 and visited the museum. I remember that I did not travel with him because I was pregnant and in those months I used to have an upset stomach all the time hehe.
The Yogi Bear I do not remember when they came home, but my mom gave them to my son one day they went out together. I remember there were three of them, but I don't know what happened to the third one.
The broken one
The last one is the poor crab that has lost its pincers. We bought it on a trip to Brazil, specifically to the small paradise that is the town of Jericoacoara, in the north of the country. I have always felt sorry to throw it away, even though it is broken. But so far has been saved from ending up in the garbage can. Do you think I should keep it even if is broken?
Thank you for reading.

Hey @coquicoin
Welcome to the Hive collectors community with your fridge magnets collection :)
How cool when people inspire each other, I am glad Paloma's post inspired you to show us your magnets. The rooster from Portugal is so cute 😇
Yes, you should keep the poor little crab! Please, don't throw it away, he has a personality even without his claws 😉
Thank you, mipiano!!! 😊
Hehe! I also think the poor crab deserves to keep its space on my fridge door.
I love the boat but I have to say my favorite is the so no evil, hear not evil, speak not evil, Mafalda magnets. !LUV
Lol Mafalda is so unique, I love her 😀
Cute collection… great to have so many memories behind the magnets.
It’s great her post inspired you to post yours.
I have seen several posts with the fridge magnets this month. A great theme for the community.
I wanted to join in to, have not found the time yet… but will manage 😉
Have a fantastic weekend!
I hope you manage to show us your magnets:) Have a wonderful weekend, Jackie 🌸🤗

I love your collection!! Aww it's an honour that my publication has inspired you... ❤️
The heart with your son's photo is very tender. The Galician boat and the Portuguese rooster form my favourite tandem, only below the incomparable Mafalda. That version of the monkey that doesn't see or hear or speak is great!! I admire her philosophy and her point of view on life.
As for the poor crab without tweezers, please keep it while you can. He has earned his right to be in your fridge and has the face of a little angel. 😊
The crab has a lovely face. I think that's why I couldn't throw it away, hehe
Happy weekend 🤗💕🌱
I have also a fridge magnets collection! And yours is really cool!
!LOLZ
¡Gracias amiga! Cheer up and make a post of your fridge magnets ;)
Happy weekend 🤗

Hello lady @coquicoin
You have a beautiful collection of images in your freezer, I love the heart that your son has made, Very beautiful
At my grandparents' house we have some on the refrigerator door
Have a beautiful night
I have a lot of that at home bought here in HK ... I like collecting fridge magnets too hehe
Aww it's such a beautiful collection! :) thanks for sharing
I think one of the reasons I wanted to have my own fridge is to put these colourful magnets on them. I've not begun my travelling journey, but among the souvenirs I hope to get, a magnet for each city I've been would be gotten.
Yours look very lovely.🌺
Thank you, Tessa 💕
I hope that soon you will be able to fill your fridge door with magnets of all the places you'll visit. 🤗🤞
I remeber reading Steve's (mypathtofire) fridges magnet post.
As soon as I saw your cockerel I went Portugal Super Eli!!
Funnily enough we bought a couple in Amsterdam and a couple of the puffins in the Farne islands Super Eli 💙
I saw Steve's as well starting the month, but this morning when I saw Paloma's I felt like writing about mine, jeje.
You sure have a few in addition to your new acquisitions so I'd like to see your collection Super Ed 💙.
Hehe I am in CBA mode with Hive Super Eli, so the chances of seeing them are next to non existent 💙
Jaja so you need a big KUTA Super Ed 🤣
jaja that is viscous Super Eli!
Jaja!! 😂😂
Always tied into memories all well worth keeping, small and always reminders to enjoy when visiting the fridge.

How are you dear friend @coquicoin good night
I loved this “Magnets on the fridge” initiative. The drawings of children or grandchildren are a classic that end up displayed on the door of the freezer. How beautiful and tender it is that your son has created. You have a beautiful collection
At home, I could tell you that it is a space that my granddaughter takes over, the drawings that she creates end up on the door.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid night and a happy rest
