The snowlady was the first one I got.....bought it for myself. I also bought the Santa. I got both of them on sale after Christmas year before last.
Then my good friend, Linda (no blog but she does quilt) gave me this angel for my birthday. The photo isn't so good....but trust me, she is a very pretty angel with nice details....flowers in her basket, etc. and she has blue eyes like I do. (Sorry for another blurry photo when you enlarge it.)
These next two are ornaments I got on clearance......one is a teacher ornament holding an apple and pointing at the blackboard (since I'm a retired teacher) and on the blackboard it says......"Education is the road to success".....I leave this out year-round
And here we have a very blurry (UGH....sorry!!!) photo of a kitty cat ornament....that I also leave out year-round. Trust me when I say this one is cute, too....although you'd not know it from this photo!!!
This pelican caught my eye when in one of the "beachy" stores with hubby and it came home with us awhile back. The snail which holds a candle was a gift last Christmas from hubby. (He works from a list of figurines I've admired and then chooses from that list.)
This Easter basket I got for myself. The eggs are removable and the detail on the eggs and the basket is wonderful and can only be appreciated if you click and look closely. (And hopefully, it's not too blurry with the picture I took.) 
The Easter rabbit holding the egg was my best "find" as I got it for just $1 at a yard sale last spring!!! WOW.....was I excited THAT day!!!!
And this is the scarecrow I bought while on my quilting retreat in November in the Amish area of Pennsylvania. He even has a crow FAMILY in his bucket!!! (Click to see them closer!) The detail on Jim Shore figurines from all angles is wonderful. He makes a lot of other artwork, but I prefer the figurines that have little quilt patterns worked into them (as do all these I've shown today as well as the two new ones I showed on yesterday's post). I'm sure I'll add to the collection as time goes by as they are such fun pieces. I hope you enjoyed seeing them!

Wow you have a nice selection of them!
i love that collection.....
They are all so wonderful Pat. I think my favorite is the SnowLady.
Crispy
Pat, that is a great collection of figurines. I love that most of them can be out year round. I have a collection of Father Christmas figures that I keep out year round. Sometimes a guest will kind look at them like "it is July, don't you ever take down your Christmas stuff?" I just kinda ignore it and go on.
Pat they are cute. I have actually never seen them in a store. Where are they sold?
Quite a collection! Do you display them all together, or throughout your home?
They're all just delightful.
Love them all!!! I would leave them up all year.
We were traveling through SC and went into a quilt shop in Nov they had the Santa sleigh and reindeer set...TOO DIE FOR.
I have also seen the nativity! If I ever was to buy another on think it would be that one!
Thanks for sharing!
You have quite the collection!
Great collection!
I love your Jim Shore collection! I too also have a collection of Jim Shore figurines--I put them out for different seasons! I will have to take some pictures too! Enjoy!
I bought a Jim Shore turkey for Thanksgiving and then a Jim Shore nativity for Christmas. I also got two new Jim Shore ornaments for Christmas, and angel and a Santa. If you're a quilter, you gotta love Jim Shore.
You have just educated me on a new artist Pat. As I read today's blog, I kept saying "OH that's my favorite" but I ended up with about all of them. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your collection.
I LOVE Jim Shore!! I have just a very very small collection and the pelican is one them. I also have the 4 season angels. They are so sweet. OMGosh I'm going to have to start going to garage sales. $1.00...unbelievable!!
Very impressive! Thanks for sharing. I have to admit I like the blurry kitty the best.
How are you doing? Feeling better yet? I'm recovered and totally well.
Oh, I have a snowbabies collection, but they are all in storage until I can have a house.
Such a nice collection. I have few Jim Shore items, Christmas ornaments mostly. I love the little sewing machine you showed yesterday, I may have to track that one down for myself.
Great collection - can you believe I'd never heard of him before I read about him on your blog?
I didn't realize there was such a wide variety of Jim Shore figurines. Thanks for sharing!!
thanks for showing them...I can see why you collect them!!
Your collection is really nice - i've never heard of him until you started mentioning him...
Lovely work...
Very nice collection. I have a few myself. We almost went to the Jim Shore outlet/store when we were in North Carolina last fall, but we did not have enough time. Maybe next time we are in the area.
Jim Shore has such a wonderful collection. I have a few of the same ones that you have. They really bring a smile to your face don't they?
What a great collection! I love them!
I would usually say that the Snowlady is my favorite but i am drawn to the Pelican. Something abt him :)
So cute! I love them all! My favorite is still that sewing machine!
What a nice collection - they all have stories and meaning behind them. I don't know which one I like the best. Maybe the snowman... or the Easter basket. I do like the scarecrow, too. Oh, heck, they're all so cute!
They are simply awesome Pat! Love them! 8-)
Hey I got an addition to my Jim shore too!
the pigs and the sewing machine are my favorites
I have been collecting the santa's - just the ones I love - and missed one this year (sold out before I could get it) and my SIL gifted me with a snowman this year. I also collect the Noah's Ark ones. Yours are very unique and I have enjoyed your show - thanks so much for sharing!
Love your Jim Shore figurines ! I have often thought of starting a collection. What a fabulous garage sale find too, for only a $ ! Those kinds of finds just make my day !
