what do you collect?

The hobby of
COLLECTING
includes seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing, cataloging, displaying, storing, and maintaining
whatever items are of interest to the individual collector

i adore
CLUTCHES
and collect vintage clutches
to the latest fashion in clutches
JEWELRY
styles new
and old

RETRO CLOCKS
(gifted, thrift and estate sale finds)
are found throughout our house

TRAYS

probably the most unexpected and quirky-est of all my collections are my
VINTAGE PORCELAIN CATS
i say that with the same zeal as zoolanders'

i love these little precious kitties so much my husband donned a beautiful one in a glass menagerie from anthro with a beautiful ribbon tied around it's neck (RING ATTACHED) when he proposed to me. of course at the time he had e fooled that i was actually getting a real cat- he put it in a big cardboard box with a heart drawn on going as far as the shake it while he handed it to me and even cut out breath holes. little did i know the sneaky romantic was about to get on one knee!!!

what do you collect?
is it hobby or addiction- fun or serious?

love your clocks! and the trays, too. especially love your engagement story - how adorably appropriate of him. :)

Hmmm, I collect scarves. I have lots a lots of scarves including a bunch of vintage ones that my mom gifted me. They take up a big portion of the hanging rack in my closet. :)
