NaBloPoMo: Make ... a Collection

Today I'd like to blog along the theme of collections as a follow-up from the #NaBloPoMo theme a few days ago on home decor. I will keep it short; yesterday's post was much longer than expected. My apologies.

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 ...

... to choose a theme to decorate my home: trees seemed to be a natural fit because of the wood (mentioned above), but more so because I love trees. You can read more about that and also see my tree shower curtain on my February 3rd post on paper trees.

I also have this 'thing' for hearts, or rather heart-shaped objects that I began to collect some time ago rather spontaneously. Read how this started on this post here.

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.

Apparently angels seemed to also become a household ornament that came to me spontaneously. Three out of four of them - one set is a pair - are from friends.

What are your collector items if you have any? If so, what is or are your favourites?
