When I first moved into my suite (in a house) about 2-1/2 years ago, I noticed that there was quite a bit of wood in the surrounding environment, namely a pair of wooden blinds (which I admire) and a wood laminate floor that extends from the bedroom into the bathroom, not to mention the wooden deck outside. This paired with my coffee table and filing cabinet made of wood, and my dresser and side tables out of wood laminate made me consider ...
Though I have gotten rid of quite a number of heart-shaped items, I still have the odd piece including a pillow (as in the photo above) and two angels holding hearts; see pictures to the left and below.
What are your collector items if you have any? If so, what is or are your favourites?

That privacy screen with the blossoming tree looks lovely! ☺ We collect many things (too many - both of us are such pack rats!), including coins, art plates, knick-knacks, books, movies, music (still have all my original vinyl LPs and 45s, plus cassettes and CDs). My biggest weakness is glassware though. I was in heaven when we toured the Corning Glass Factory and Museum, in New York state. Antique, coloured glass artifacts are so beautiful. ♥
ReplyDeleteYes, I do very much like it too Debbie! :) I used to collect coins as well, knick knacks, books for sure, and music, including vinyl LPs and 45s (just like you)! Luckily, I was able to sell the lot! :) It is certainly easy to collect things when there are so many beautiful things such as coloured glass! ;) <3
ReplyDeleteI collect things from my travels - but, nowadays, with too much clutter, I try to keep the pieces small. I also have some refrigerator magnets - tacky, perhaps, but they trigger memories.
ReplyDeleteI suppose that would be challenging Alana if you travel as you would want to collect souvenirs. Thus, small momentos makes sense, even if they are refridgerator magnets! :) <3
ReplyDeleteI just sold two heart shaped rubies to a gal in Japan -- this made me think of them and how much you would have probably loved them.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I am not a collector of anything except warm and fuzzy letters or notes from friends and family. Never thought about it until just now.
Oh, that would indeed by lovely Carol! I probably would have loved them. I forgot to indicate - need to add the reference to my blog post as to how the heart-shaped collection got started! ;) http://xpressyouressence.blogspot.ca/2012/02/communications-from-my-dead-twin.html ...I think letters and notes are wonderful memorabilia: precious and priceless...the best! :) <3
