Growing collections

in Hive Collectors22 days ago

It took me a while to get to this place which appears on the screen when you click the create a post button. Well, just a few days; it is not that bad...

And I hope you won't blame me a lot, because travelling (even if just imaginary) takes time. I did it through gifts that I received from Japan, Taiwan, the US, Croatia and the UK. Some of them will be presented here today. My husband brought them from his latest trip to Croatia attending Hive Fest and these are the cute gifts that a few lovely Hive ladies sent me through him. That was fun, especially for those involved in these gift-gathering activities and those who had to pack everything in one backpack. In the end, I am the one who was touched by the attention and kindness of those who greeted me with these treasures.

For this item I only need a traditional kimono from Japan; I already have a small fabric drawstring pouch to carry my stuff in. It didn't come empty - @livinguktaiwan called it a global package, and it really is. It contained goodies from different parts of the world accompanied by her favourite Sanrio characters. They may be part of her collections, which I look forward to seeing in the community one day. My collections can grow too, for example, my postcard collection just grew with this new one!

These handpainted earrings will be added to my earrings collection. The patterns are very nice; the other side is turquoise, which is one of my favourite colours. She mentioned in her letter written inside the postcard that it was made with the technique of acrylic pouring.

Speaking about acrylics... it's been also a while since I used the acrylic paints to decorate some rocks. Now, that my collection has grown by 6 new rocks that travelled from the United States and Croatia to me, I will need to make some time for the rock decorating activity. Can't promise it can happen soon but we never know. 😉

Thank you very much @lizanomadsoul, @ninaeatshere and @livinguktaiwan for these Hive Fest pebbles. They will receive some colours one day. 😊

These two pebbles made a really long journey from one National Park before arriving at my hands. They can make their pins in Worldmappin, that much they travelled.

I could also make some imaginary pins on that map with these gifts... thank you, girls, once again!!!

Here we still have one item that will be added to my keychain collection {there are still a few days left to participate with this theme}

A cute red HIVE keychain. A word that connects some keys/people - it nicely represents the essence of any community.

Without the connections we make at Hive these gifts would not have reached me.

Just imagine how long 6 months are without clicking on 'post'.... 😱
Meanwhile rock collection is indeed growing!

But earrings... 😍are they heavy (second tought after 'so lovely they are).

6 days, or 6 months, ove brojke su zeznute hahaha, valjda necemo i do 7 da doguramo 😂

Luckily, they are super light, not heavy at all.

Ovo je bio dug dan ali definitivno iznenadjenje dana je videti tvoj komentar. Hvala 😇

Stidljivo sam progvirila 🫣, takoreći rizikovala sam razapeće, huh ovo je bila luda godina, daj taj kalendar da se prelista 😂

Kome jos treba kalendar? 😉

(throwing it away)

What a great collection you have right there @mipiano! You are very welcome 🙂 - Glad you liked the rock and it arrived well at your place thanks to @ninaeatshere 😘

Yes, the collections are growing. Thank you Liz, and these are not just rocks - they represent more than just a piece of a stone when they are picked and gifted to someone 😇

Nice to hear that. Of course they are not. I do have a little collection myself with things from my travels. Love to see them as they always bring me back to the places.

I picked that rock for you because when its wet, it looks a little bit like a flag :)

it arrived well at your place thanks to @ninaeatshere 😘

Wait... What? How do you mean, thanks to @ninaeatshere?

😂😂😂 - I gave it to her. untitled.gif

Oh you are back!! And I see that somehow you were at the Hive Fest too!!!!

What nice gifts you received. It's a great satisfaction to feel appreciated by so many people. The rocks...no words, we'll see how you fill them with color.

Nice week 🤗

Yes, somehow I took part in it, through these good people. And the rock-carrier man 😆

Thank you @mdrguez, I also wish you a nice week 💫

I hope you are feeling better, I read in a comment that you had the flu. Your absence in Hive is rare and you are missed 🤗

Yes, thank you, I am feeling better, from the flu.

For Hive... thank you for your words. I am sorry if I can't be around as I used to, my apologies to everyone if lately and in present and future I will not comment on time or miss some posts, it is not intentional and I also feel sad if I maybe won't run well the Kindness Rocks or the Collectors community. Life has its priorities and when I want to be around Hive I want to do it well, but it seems I can't do it right now in the way it should be or is expected. I will figure out how to continue, doing some mind and time tetris haha. You, avdesing and hindavi are doing some beautiful rock paintings, I would be glad if it doesn't stop, it is a space for everyone to express their art on rocks if inspiration comes. Hope Olivia is doing great and enjoying her new learning adventures. 😉

Hi Mipiano, I'm glad you're feeling better. Life imposes its realities, so there is nothing to apologize for. I just hope the reality you are living is a good one even if it leaves you with no time for Hive. Of course I will continue to paint rocks of goodness...there will be one soon, not so cute 🤣

Olivia is happy, thanks for caring. I hope your son's adventure is being rewarding too. Lots of good vibes and a big hug.

Gracias. And I saw you painted rock, it IS cute. Thank you for the good vibes, your kindness rock is indeed bringing good and colourful vibes. 🌈

How nice, I'm glad that all the colors and good vibes from the universe are reaching you. Lindo finde.

Manually curated by ewkaw from the @qurator Team. Keep up the good work!

Dziękuję 🤗

What can I tell you... I said .... where is Mipiano? Where is he? But I'm relieved now!

Here painting some rocks.... you'll see them.

But what beautiful earrings, I love them!!! And I like the stones that come from different places.... the key ring!!! It's super cool!

I like the bag first... it's very pretty! Big hug!💗

Well, life happened hahaha so it is a bit challenging to manage everything and get to Hive too. Gracias por preocuparte 🤗

Here painting some rocks.... you'll see them.

Yay, saw them and they are awesome!! Really, hats off! 🙌

Life sometimes presents us with things, some more minor, others not so much... for the moment my washing machine broke.... it's minor...

I'm glad you are well!

I'm glad you like them, I need more big rocks, very big ones hahahahahaha

These are some planned things that need to be done, so it will take some time to finish and in the meantime, I also got a flu and in the meantime, I also travelled in imagination to places like Japan, Taiwan, the United States, Croatia through these gifts 😁

While one has the flu one can travel to many parts.... the mind can fly!!!! Really, I'm glad you are better!😘

My feather is missing there, didn't you get it? 🦉

All gifts from different parts of the world, if that's not cool, I don't know what is, hehe

I think my husband thought that the feathers were heavy as rocks so he didn't pack them in his backpack 🤔

But, luckily I found a coloured feather some time ago, when I get there to write about that place I will show it and maybe you will recognize if it is your feather or not, little owl 😇

What a thrill to receive such meaningful gifts from Hive friends from different countries. I think the keychain you received provoked in you the same emotion I felt when I received mine with the Hive symbol. All the gifts were full of love. Enjoy them. Best regards.😇

Hola Mamani, yes, these little gifts were sent with love, I was touched when I received them. The hive keychains were given to those who went to Hive Fest but my husband brought me some 😇
Thank you, and best regards to you too 🤗

Those hand painted earrings are so adorable. The pattern is really beautiful. I’m waiting for the rock decorating activity to happen. The thought of it makes me excited ☺️

Painting the rocks is very rewarding, it makes me happy and relaxed. I hope to have some free time to do it again 😀

This is amazing and sweet, and they really came from different people and they are all from Hive. Hivefest really is cool, as you get to meet different kind of peoppe. Hope one day I can attend to that too. Anyways, those rocks, so they all came in different country? Thats cool 😆✨✨

Yes, it was sweet, I am really grateful to these ladies. Yeah, some of the rocks made a real journey through countries to arrive here :))

Pretty Hive keychain... 😊 binding people from all parts of the world..such a meanigful one..
your stones travelled far, haha.. really need to keep them well...

Yes, I am glad my husband brought me that keychain, it will be proudly used ;))

Aww you have the right to take all the time you need, I'm sure each of these gifts came filled with love, it's not easy to process all that.

Pinned rocks in Worldmappin sounds amazing!

I'm thrilled reading you and moved by your lovely appreciation for such a simple, yet meaningful detail. I spent a long time thinking about what could be the right rock, but the truth is that I couldn't find any with soft edges that seemed relevant to me and then I thought that the squares could be just as interesting and more unique, that's when Liz asked me what I was doing and, when I told her my plans, she helped me in the search, getting the biggest one that on the reverse side of the mark with our names, it looks like a flag, or so I thought hahahahaha.

Pinned rocks in Worldmappin would be a real thing! :)))

Thank you Nina for picking the flag rocks with Liz, I will have in my mind this info about the flag when the day arrives they will receive some colour 😀
Also, thank you for being a good flatmate to Mr Miapino. Did you like the biscuits (Noblice?)

Well I have to tell you the truth, I haven't opened them, because I thought about trying to make a video, I was inspired to resume a series I had started some time ago thanks to see how natural it is to record your Mr. MiPiano hahaha but I still don't have the time to do it, videos take me a lot of time. He has also been a good roommate hahaha but I think I gave him a bit of a hard time to be honest xD

Well done to Mr Mipiano for bringing the package back safely. And so many rocks as well 😁

Next time you must come to Hivefest and join us girls!!

Yes, he has done a good job, even without knowing about the hidden rocks haha 😁
Thank you once again!

I know... I saw so many photos from Hive Fest, and your last ones from today give super elegant and beautiful vibes! You all had a wonderful time and I am happy about that 😇

It was a great time in deed, imagine Hive Bee Con x n

🤣 Mr. Mipiano, loved it! He was complaining all the time xD And in the end it was only a few.

He needs to man up!! If he doesn't carry a few rocks back home for the lady of the house he'll be in much bigger trouble with all of us ladies 🤣🤣🤣

😂 🤣

He was complaining all the time xD

What do I hear here? 😱

😂😂😂

See what happens when you let him travel by himself 😄

well, in the end, the result is the same. Mr Mipiano complaining or not - my rocks arrived 😆

Tu colección vale oro, porque llega desde la hermosa fraternidad de los amigos que quieren conectar a través de la distancia y de una comunidad hermosa y siempre alegre y bonita.
No te voy a engañar, los aretes son mis preferidos, porque ese color en el acrílico está fenomenal, aunque, las piedras también me han emocionado.

Espero que estés mejor de la gripe y que pronto estés por acá revoloteando como la linda mariposa que eres.

Un abrazo 🌻

Sí, exactamente, es la esencia de esta comunidad, esa debe ser la luz que nos guíe. Amistad.

Los pendientes son muy bonitos y únicos. Muchas gracias @adaluna1973, ya voy mejorando 🦋 . Un abrazo de vuelta, gracias 😇

Those are nice gift I glad you could grow all your collections and I looking forward to see what are you going to do on the rocks ,🎨🪨 I really like your paintings on the rocks! ☺️

I am also looking forward to seeing what they will be converted into. Time will tell. Thank you, Señor Puma, espero que estás bien? Ya acostumbrado estar de nuevo en Cuba?

Cuba está en candela pero bueno hay que adaptarse y hechar para adelante! Gracias a ti 🤗 señorita Mi piano de las artes y las colecciones 😎

Estoy buscando en internet que significa la expresión estar en candela 😆

Jjajajaja en candela (en cubano) significa que esta mala la situación 🤣🤣🤣😅

I can imagine how popular you are here in hive world all gift you received are beautiful from lovely beautiful ladies. Nice :)

Not at all, but those ladies were attentive and kind and my husband was there and became the carrier 😁

But when people remember you that is the big gift forever .❤️

It indeed is 😇

Beautiful pebbles. I love pebbles and shells did you know they can have healing properties also...

I just know that decorating pebbles make me feel good 😇
