I Love Collecting: August 2012

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.

THE SUMMER of POTTERY!

I've been having so much fun this summer going to all

of my favorite places in search of pottery and more!

Friday my friend Carol and I spent the whole day shopping

and I have to say that I am very happy with my purchases!

Above, purchases from Zionsville Antique Mall,

Black Rose and Weil. The large HULL planter

on the bottom has a yellow inside... beautiful!

Can't resist PINK!

Blue and Green :-)

I am loving the white Floraline planter.

I found it in green last week!
