This place is great!
I have been looking through everyone's collections and they are breath taking!
Okay enough sucking up, now a little about myself. My name is Christine and I live in Southwestern PA. I loved the Smurfs as a kid. Eventually, my small childhood collection got packed away when I entered my teenage years. Many years later I discoved Ebay and was amazed at all the different Smurfs. I dug out my childhood collection of about 28 Smurfs, a few houses, the windmill, and some playsets and have been an obsessed collector ever since! I think it has been about 5 years now. I have a nice collection, but I WANT so many more!
I am so glad I found this place and I can't wait to get to know everyone.
Christine

Hi Christine, welcome aboard.
Thanks for your nice introduction, always great to meet a new smurfer. Your story sounds like so many members here, myself included. Collected smurfs as a kid and then rediscovered them in "adulthood" so I am sure you are going to get along really well.
I have a nice collection, but I WANT so many more!
Another classic quote I think.
Any chance of a pic or two of your smurfs. We LOVE looking at collections.

Thanks for the Smurfy welcomes!
Good guess Staci, I live about 45 minutes South of Pittsburgh.
I just moved about 4 months ago and sadly all my Smurfy things are still packed up. I have three kids and one on the way so needless to say we are really tight on space. Right now I don't know when or where I will find a place to display my collection.
I took some pictures of my collection a few years ago. They didn't turn out so well. I started out trying to make village scenes, but it got over crowded really quick. I tried to post a few of them, but I kept getting an upload error message.
I will keep trying and hopefully post some pics for you to see soon.

Hi Christine, if you still have problems, send me a PM and I will see if I can help.
You might want to have a chat with Gerda about the kids. I think her plan is, if they don't start collecting smurfs themselves, they have to move out after the age of five to make some more room.

It is nice to meet all of you.
I am going to try to post my collection pictures again. *crosses fingers* I hope this works.
These guys tend to multiple quickly. My village is a bit over crowded.
