there's something
so pleasing
about
the same
object
repeated
again
and again
and again.
same form
but different
construction.
different color.
or
simply
the evolution
of the object.
that is why,
i think,
i love collections.
my collections
have changed
a lot
throughout
my life.
this is
what i
am currently
collecting:
1. vintage wind-up alarm clocks
(preferably foreign)
from soviet vintage etsy shop
2. bell jars
3. vintage rubber stamps
from heliopsis etsy store
4. cameras
from my collection
5. old well-loved teddy bears
from hindsvik's vintage etsy shop
. . . . .
what are you
collecting?
. . . . .
some wonderful
collectors:
camilla engman

have a
lovely week.

Old wind up clock alarms are so alarming, they scare me awake..though they do look wodnerful.
I collect beanies and wintery headbands.
Are shoes a collection or just an obsession?
i love collections way too much. my biggest is seashells, beach rocks + seaglass. my most precious is my father's collection of fountain pens. i love seeing yours! (and i especially love that giant rubber stamp.)
i too love the clocks. they remind me of my grandmother.
we're collecting tibetan singing bowls and green celadon pottery over at at bit.ly/4Z1Kgy
have a lovely day.
what a great collection...of collections! recently, i've been collecting the letter A (for anna) it is fun. p.s. nice new header.
I collect Cinderella books, Samsonite train cases, foxes, and good luck charms.
Very inspiring collections. I find I appreciate them more when organized in such a thoughtful way. I'm collecting vintage beveled mirrors, old cameras and typewriters.
i love this post! your collections seem so wonderful =] i don't really collect anything myself...well...do books count? they just kind of add up. so do the candles.

Vintage rubber stamps! I'd love to see that collection.
Hmmmm...what do I collect? Crappy cars? Haha...
I think I only have my bone collection. Going strong since I was 10 yrs old.
What a neat thing to collect those clocks! I'm slowly working a button collection.
I'm collecting:
candelabras
vintage wool blankets
yellow enameled items
things made in japan
oh - i have a teddy bear that might need to be yours. he's on the big side, but....
i love your collections....
p/s love the new header!
That is the sweetest little bear.
I collect fortunes from fortune cookies. It just seems like bad luck to throw them away, so each time I open a fortune cookie I tuck the fortune in a book or drawer.
