I would like to start a collection though. I'll keep checking back here to see what your other readers collect, maybe that will inspire me to collect something. I used to have a collection of those pens with the clear bit at the top and a little object that moves along in front of a background. I still get given those by some people if they see them at a souvenir shop. All but one item from that collection have been lost in life's comings and goings. Do you know, I collect nothing!

I LOVE antique shops, junk shops, antique cum junk shops, etc. Charlottesville was awesome for that. <br /><br />I may have to steal your orphan saucer idea though, it appeals to me so much!

I loved seeing your saucers, Jennie. I have written several posts (http://lollygirl.com/blog/?cat=32) about my collections - not as many lately though. I collect pomegranates - mainly glass, metal, plastic - but any sort really. I am a collector at heart too, so I have mini collections of all sorts of things ;) Tiny beauty, indeed!

They're much harder to find than they used to be just a few years ago, but I love hunting for them. I also love looking for buttons, as you know, and vintage fabrics. Your saucers are lovely -- the Wedgwood is a beauty. I actually really collect dishes, the vitrified plates and bowls used in diners and hotels.

I don't collect anything, but New Yorkers and Gourmets seem to collect themselves around my house :). These are beautiful and so interesting.
