WHY DO I COLLECT?

Why do I collect? That's easy... because it's so much fun! Ever since I can remember I have been going to flea markets, antique shops, yard sales, you name it. Wherever I could find some sort of interesting treasure or cool piece of junk! I love driving around in search of new places or revisiting my favorite spots. I come from a family of collectors and have lived amongst antiques and collectibles my whole life. I have a passion for decorating especially with things that I find in my travels or even things found in the trash... which by the way can be some of the best stuff! But for those who share the same passion, I don't have to tell you... you all know what fun it is and how addicting it can be! Here I will share my collections, interesting finds, decorating tips, photos, projects, friends collections and thoughts and whatever else I may find along the way.

GROUP PHOTOS


This collection started many years ago when I picked up 2 very large, panoramic class photos from the 1930s at a Ralph Lauren prop sale. I paid $3.oo for each and dragged them home on the subway in the pouring rain. Although they are not shown in this picture, they are 2 of my favorites and hang in another large grouping. It's always fun to come across these great photos while out antiquing or flea marketing. I have found several at thrift stores as well where I have paid only a few dollars. Yeah!
