Collections

 
Like most of you, I have collected many things over the years. I have also parted with many of my collections along the way mainly because of room or lack of interest in the pieces.
 
Some of my collections have been the dreaded frogs, which included everything from canisters to curtains, UGH!
At one time I also collected roosters, which I still have a fondness for but again that was in the past.
 
Now my collections consist of the many things I love...some are on going, some are complete and some things I will never part with because of sentimental reason.
 

I love clocks, any kind of clocks, from alarms to grandfather and anything in between. My love of them started when I found an old IBM wall clock in PA., it no longer worked so I converted it to battery power and I love it today as much as I did over 18 years ago when I bought it.

In the bathroom I have a collection of men's
 vintage grooming supplies along with old mirrors, collars, shaving brushes and mugs  
 



 
 Some of my collection came as a surprise gift, like these wonderful old fabric brushes. I just love these and would love to have more however they are getting hard to find.
 
 
More then anything, I love vintage and antique pieces that tell as story from long ago and simpler times. I have heard when you have three of an item, that is a collection. I say just surround yourself with what you love no matter the amount.
