Collections

I have just been over to Pretty Vintage's blog.  She was asking the question..........can you ever have too many collections?  I don't think so - what about you?

My Gentle Giant collects keyrings and my Missy Moo collects flowered headbands!

I have started collecting mirrors in my living room, pretty cups in my kitchen/dining room and want to collect hearts to hang on one wall in my bedroom.

What do you collect? I'm intrigued!

  5. I don't think I 'collect' as such - although I DO in the sense that I have 'collections' for various areas of the house (glass candlesticks in my old living room, vintage mirrors in the hallway etc) but am quite good at being restrained and stopping when I have 'enough'. Or maybe that's just my funny brain thinking that if I were to collect something I'd keep buying it and would always be 'collecting'. Am I even making any sense?!

    Thanks for you comment and list suggestion - you're right! I need to dig out a notebook. And no, creeping out in the cold and dark certainly doesn't seem appealing at the moment!! x
