I also really treasure all the family photos passed down to me, especially the the very old ones. I also feel sad when I see old photos cast aside all on their lonesome. I have some old silver, and a cherub or two, even the shoe thingies... I'm running outta space to list the rest of the things passed down to me. But, I would trade it all... to have my Grandma and especially my Mom back here with me. Hope your weekend is one you treasure forever!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675560255622233368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200170269784068730.post-21941178021808216852009-10-18T13:17:24.461-04:002009-10-18T13:17:24.461-04:00Hello Kathleen,

Collections :)<br />I go through collection phases.. hehe, from Pez dispensers when I was a kid to glass beads to vintage gloves to recipes. The one I stick to are my dollhouse miniatures. I love to find vintage pieces for my dollhouse. It is so much fun to find that one unique piece! I also have a vintage postcard collection that I add to off and on.<br /> Have a great Sunday!<br />Cheers,<br />ReislTheresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05745254137249726989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200170269784068730.post-28906065183877845992009-10-18T08:34:05.672-04:002009-10-18T08:34:05.672-04:00In addition to a few of the things YOU collect, I ...In addition to a few of the things YOU collect, I collect tins - chintz patterned types in browns and blue. I'm just drawn to them.<br /><br />I have a collection of "naive" oil paintings, generally floral. I also collect blue & white dishes and white soup tureen.....<br /><br />I collect TOO many things :)<br /><br />I am glad to have stumbled on your blog. It is cozy and inviting.

I hadn't collected much in the past few years, i stopped to simplify my life (didnt like dusting..lol) However, in the past few months i did have somewhat of an obsession for drum stools, so many pretty ones!!! I now have 4 of them spread through out the house, but I bought them all on major clearance which was even more of a bonus, like in total all i bought all 4 for less than the price of one, gotta love clearances.<br />have a good day<br />hugs<br />janetjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109006150387830549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200170269784068730.post-30823495681338113692009-10-11T08:44:59.589-04:002009-10-11T08:44:59.589-04:00I sometimes wonder if I am a "collector"...I sometimes wonder if I am a "collector" or an "accumulator" of crusty old things. Like you, I love vintage silver - the more tarnished, the better, and old linens, I have a number of old clocks (love the faces), and a few primitive dolls, about 100 pieces of vintage McCoy pottery, a number of Bates bedspreads and old woolen blankets... and I love it all!<br /><br />Blessings ~ Eileen @ Star's FaultEileen@Star'sFaulthttp://starsfault.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200170269784068730.post-51495394282773802112009-10-10T20:35:05.131-04:002009-10-10T20:35:05.131-04:00I love these collections!

I too gather old photos from the antique malls. They look so forlorn and forgotten! I collect old washboards.

I have mostly Sarah's angels (about 10), one Willow Creek and a few small Jim Shore's. They're lovely; and fortunately, I'm in no hurry to add to them. So, it's a very relaxed collection, you could say.Sandy aka Doris the Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16135704111702244735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7200170269784068730.post-30800654181841909562009-10-08T13:03:05.427-04:002009-10-08T13:03:05.427-04:00Hi, Kathleen!
