I Love Collecting: July 2011

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.

YARD SALE FINDS

There was a great yard sale right down the street from my house this past Saturday... lots of stuff... beautifully displayed... wish I had brought my camera... not much of what I collect but fun and interesting stuff to see anyway... I did pick up this nice green metal stand and this tiny rusty pot!

FLEA MARKET on the 4th

Stopped by the Golden Nugget Flea Market in Lambertville, NJ... they were open on the 4th of July. Not all the vendors were there but it was still okay... although I came away with nothing! Oh well... maybe next time!
