Cool collections

Pictures from weheartit.

When I was young, I collected heaps of things; stickers, bookmarks, stamps, coins, shells, dried flowers, postcards etc. As a teenager I started collecting Barbie dolls, but that got too expensive so I stopped. Lately I've been thinking of starting a new collection of sorts, and these pictures have got me really inspired.

Do you collect anything?

Moosette said...

I too went through random phases of collecting... pogs... troll dolls... marbles... dried flowers... dolls from different countries - ha! All of my collections sound so lame! I love the pics you found... especially the blue glass bottles!

Brandi said...

These collections are lovely. I thought about collecting milk bottles or blue bottles...but I think I'll stick to books.

Rose said...

I collected lots when I was younger too. I adore that teapot collection in the last photo!
I have a rather small collection of random pretty teacups :)

I've always wanted to collect something again. I thought stationery and postcards would be great. I figured it should be something that is easy to store and isn't too much clutter.

Great collection! I used to collect tea cups until my collection grew too large. And I had a neat button collection going for a while, but whenever my nieces come to visit, they are little pirates, lol.

Hehe, I think I am collecting yarn. And Fluffy's hair, which people might find a bit too gross? --> I will make some felt things out of them.

These are so pretty! I used to collect stamps when I was little. When I was a teen I was collecting Glamour magazine, I had every issue of 2 years, which was 24 magazines. I don't know what happened to them...

I go in whims too, but I'm a collector at heart. My newest collection: tiny little plates. I found two at a garage sale for a quarter a piece and I'm on the hunt for me. I'm envisioning a mini-plate wall. Take a look: http://www.twitpic.com/16khzr
