Very non-womanly I totally fail when it comes to electronic gadgets e.g. cameras, computers, phones and tablets - LOL.<br />But I certainly love the idea that collecting is one thing, but displaying the collection to enjoy them even more is something equally if not more important.<br />Lovely display of the vintage handkerchiefs.

My grandmothers hand made linens, MIL wooden child rocker, my husbands grandmother old mini pitchers and decorative dishes, cast iron pans, pickling crocks etc etc. Gosh it kind of sounds like a hodge podge of things but we love them.

I have actually thought a lot about collections and how personal they are to the collector. Both my mom and mother in law collected things ( plates, Hummel figures, genealogy items) . While I understood why they liked them, they didn't interest me as something I would like to continue. I seem to have a a few collections going myself...geodes, shells and feathers. And Boston Terriers.
