Refrigerator Magnets
I collect magnets from the places I've visited. Magnets are inexpensive and small. Admittedly, I do buy other things too. I always try to get a new magnet, though.
There are cool magnets & there are uncool magnets. The uncool magnets are those rubbery ones. Those are really cheap and pretty cheesy, too. I try to find the cool 3-D type magnets that reflect the area I'm visiting.
Here's a cool magnet from Kennebunkport, Maine. Lobstah, anyone? | |
In 1998, I survived the Mount Washington Auto Road...

| I visited Quechee Gorge, Vermont in 2000. I had a hard time finding a cool magnet and settled on this one. |
One my way to Los Angeles, I had a layover in Chicago. I picked up this magnet. That counts as visiting, right?

| Took a drive around Cape Cod one October with my mom. Found this sparkle-ly magnet as a souvenier. |
My mom & I took a weekend trip to the White Mountains. One of the things we did was take a ride on the Conway Scenic Railway. This is a sort of 3-D scenic magnet.

| I bought this magnet in Huntington Beach, CA. I was there for my cousin's wedding. |
This is a neat magnet from the Old Lighthouse Museum in Southington, CT. It's made out of a piece of seashell, so every magnet is different. It took me a while to decide which one I wanted.

In 1997, I took a motorcycle ride out to Rockport, MA. My butt barely survived the journey. | |
| A friend and I went to Yankee Candle in Deerfield, Massachusetts. Here is the magnet I bought. You can get this in different scents. |
I took my daughter to America's Stonehenge in Salem, NH. Imagine I had wanted to go for almost 25 years! Here is the cool black bear magnet I picked up in the gift shop. | |
One of Hannah's favorite places to go is the Butterfly Place. She'd rather go there than see a movie.
This is a rather uncool type magnet, but it was all they had. | |
