Below is my collection of turtles figurines that I started almost 10 years ago. Some of them were flea market finds, some of them were bought at the stores or art shows, many of them were given by my friends. After they realized that I collect turtles, knowing about it made their life easier - many of small figurines came to my house as gifts.
