what do you collect?


i have a love of interesting things of the past that have another life now more as an artistic display

...just like these cool Pez Dispensers..... dont they look awesome when displayed together?!

even just a few randomly placed together on a coffee table are a great starting point for a conversation {not to mention that they are just super kitschy CUTE!!}

what collections do you have or want to start collecting?

i know some collections don't get started til kids are older due to either their busy fingers {let's say a pez dispenser might just find itself jabbed up a kids nose with no-one owning up to Who did the jamming!~! lol} or indeed the rather decadent amount of money that some collections may require.

I plan to collect many things in the future, even tho it will be on a TEENY TINY SCALE...not sure if 3 counts as a collection?? lol

good luck in your collecting adventures....sometimes the thrill of the hunt is enough :P
