Two men were out playing golf on a nice Saturday afternoon.
They were getting frustrated, though, because the two women who were playing right in front of them were quite slow, and were holding up the men’s game.
“Don’t they know their supposed to let us play through?!” asked the first man.
The other man shook his head. “I’m going to go ask them if we can play through,” said the first man, emphatically, “Enough is enough!”
He started walking over toward the women, but as he got close, he suddenly turned around and came back, white as a ghost.
“Oh God,” he said to his friend, “This is awful. You’re going to have to ask those women if we can play through. You see, one of them is my wife, and the other is my mistress!”
The other man shrugged, and said “No sweat.”
He walked over toward the women, and just as he was getting close, turned around and came running back to his pal. His eyes wide open, he said - “Small world isn’t it!”

Through imagination you can build up a fantastic collection of dolphin figurines that can be used for expert story telling. Imagine, all you teachers out there, the power of using figurine props in your story telling exploits and the positive results you might get in your class!
Figurines are wonderful gift and collectors items. Sometimes referred to as dolls or small statues, they can make amazing home decorative or collectibles display pieces for any home or office, school etc.
Most children can relate to dogs and enjoy their pets at a young age. So, for example, you can buy your child a pewter dolphin figurine that goes with a story, and they can keep it on their bedside table. They will then be able to relate the figurine to the story, which can make it more real for them. Their imaginations are already so wide and once they have the pewter dolphin figurine to associate their fairytale or story to, it becomes more concrete for them. You might even find once your child has a nice collection they may begin to create their own stories and games which will help with their creative thinking later in life.
Create your own stories using the power of animation via your figurine collection. Your child or class (if you are a teacher) can provide feedback on the figurine and think about what it represents, lives and any associated history it may have. This can make learning fun and engaging and provide great benefit for any child.
Here are some types you could get:
cherub figurines
cow figurines
chihuahua figurines
german shepherd figurines
penguin figurines
dog figurines
charming tails figurines
china figurines
What happens when you children grow up? Don’t despair, you did not buy the crystal animals and figurines for nothing. They will not be forgotten, maybe just for a little while as they grow up into teenagers and find other interests. Collect the pewter dolphin figurines and put them into a glass cabinet for the meantime as display, or pack them into the beautifully carved wooden chest in your room for a couple of years until they will become of use again. And they will.
If you consider your figurine collection to be of great value, you should consider passing it on to your future generations since collectible figurines increase in value over time. You will be surprised to know that there is a science to collecting figurines and the more you become involved in the hobby the more you will love it!
I am sure you will find many other ways of having fun with your pewter dolphin figurines as you read fairytales and other stories to your children. The whole process of looking for the right figurine to go with the story and adding to their collection and to yours, is an enjoyable experience for all.

We aren’t talking about the slight of hand of the magician nor the wizardry of Merlin. We are talking about the kind of magic that Disney creates - the magic that flows from enchantment. The kind of magic we wanted to believe in when we were kids.
When we watch Tinker Bell fly across our TV screen leaving a trail of sparkling fairy dust, we immediately transfer ourselves to that magical zone of enchantment. That enchantment zone may be different for each of us. It could be one of joy, or happiness, or tranquility, or anticipation or a host of things that you could name for yourself.
So where is the magic in a crystal figurine? I discovered the answer over ten years ago while reluctantly shopping with my wife and mother-in-law at a local mall. As we passed a beautiful gift store, my mother-in-law, closely followed by my wife, made a bee-line straight for a glass display case just inside the entrance. They were in there for quite awhile, then came out and said they had a few more things to get. While my ladies continued shopping the other stores, I rested on a bench outside the gift shop. I was amazed at how many people walked by the entrance, saw the display case and walked in for a closer look.
Finally, I couldn’t stand it any longer. I had to go into that store to find out what was the big attraction that lured so many people to that glass case. The case held somewhere between twenty and thirty beautiful and expertly crafted crystal animals and crystal figurines. With so many figurines in such a small area, the case had a glowing effect with rays of light jumping in all different directions. I was at first stunned by this very powerful display and then settled in to admire the fine detail of the individual pieces.
Surprisingly, I found myself in a strange zone, one I only experience when I’m in a home improvement store looking at tools and imagining all the projects I could do with them. Imagine a grown man standing at a glass display case, mesmerized by the beauty and workmanship of the crystal figurines, thinking so and so would like this one and that one would be a great gift for….That’s not a zone most men are accustomed to experiencing. I was enchanted!
A few minutes later a young woman came to the case looking carefully at each crystal animal while softly cooing to herself. After a few minutes of oohhs and aahhs, I said, “Judging by the sounds you’re making, you really like these.” Without looking up, she answered, “Oh yes, I love crystal animals, they’re great collectibles. Curious, I then asked what attracted her to them. She looked up, smiled and said, “It’s the sparkle in crystal, it’s like magic”. I pondered that comment for awhile, not really understanding what she meant.
A few months later, I gave a friend a crystal cat figurine. When she opened the crystal gift she fell into that moment of enchantment. We all could see it on her face. She said when she opened the box she saw the sparkle before she realized it was crystal and was overwhelmed by the beauty of the figurine. That was her magical moment.
There is magic in a crystal animal figurine. Like fairy dust, the magic is in the sparkle, and the sparkle is in the crystal.

Get them the Cow Parade Dr. Moo D. Brown. This doctor cow stands 4.5″ tall and is made of ceramic. The art students of Blackshear Elementary School in Houston, Texas created Dr. Moo D. Brown. According to the students, “All children going to the hospital must come into direct contact with a doctor and the doctor becomes our friend because he helps us stay healthy.” Because so many young children are uncomfortable with the doctor, the artists wanted to portray a friendly doctor. “Dr. Moo D. Brown” is dressed in hospital dress, complete with surgical mask and all of the instruments needed when seeing a patient or making rounds. He even has a beeper to stay in touch with the hospital and his patients. You can buy it on this site.

Do you know the value of your figurine? When asked this question most people immediately start thinking in terms of dollars and cents. But in truth that is the last thing you should think about.
The true value of your figurine can only be measured in terms of how much you care for it. As a result, the more you care for it the more value it could have.
But regardless of how you determine your figurine’s value, below are some guidelines that will not only protect its value but could increase it as well.
* Keep it clean. In most cases just simple dusting is all that is required. When washing is necessary I suggest using tepid water and a mild soap or detergent (such as baby shampoo). Use a soft cloth to wash the figurine and a soft brush or Q-Tip to get into small nooks and crevices. To avoid crazing, never allow water to get inside of your figurine. Rinse the figurine using a soft cloth that’s been dipped in warm clear water. Allow the figurine to air dry. * Display it with caution. Never expose your figurine to direct sunlight. The sun’s rays can cause discoloration as well as distortion and deterioration. * Make sure its display foundation is secured. Never place your figurine near the edge of the display area. Secure your figurine using some museum wax, available at most craft or home improvement stores. This inexpensive product will keep your figurine from toppling over during earthquakes or accidental bumps. * Avoid exposing it to extreme temperature changes. Also avoid putting your figurine in areas with high moisture levels or rapid temperature changes. * Keep its original box. The original will not only provide for safe storage but could add value should you decide to sell your figurine.
Following these simple tips does not only make sense. But one day they could convert to substantial dollars and cents.
