And I absolutely adore that photo of little you with your teddy bear! I realized in reading your post that I have collections of many similar things, but I've never thought of them as "collections" so much as "themes." Now I'm thinking of how I could pull them together so they could be seen and appreciated better...by myself, if no one else.

Check out #magpiemonday on Instagram if you want to see lots of fun collections! I'm a collector from way back--been collecting rocks since I was a kid. My latest collecting passions--small blue and white China dogs, letter & number wood game pieces, & vintage Christmas ornaments. kybarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379309037143657000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-31685427090973887572016-06-02T13:22:24.125-07:002016-06-02T13:22:24.125-07:00Lovely post, Cathy.

I am trying not to collect anything more since I have a house full of "stuff" but I can never resist a pretty new coffee cup.

I remember so many of them, although I don't still have any, sad to say. We moved a lot when I was young and I think my mother was of the mind that if it wasn't currently being used, it wasn't worth moving and out it went. And you know how much I LOVE your ink bottles! I also collect shells and rocks (also gifts from my sons and grandson) as well as old bottles and jars, especially antique Ball jars. And lately I've been collecting cactus! I discovered the beauty of their blooms a few years ago and now I want one in every color! Thanks, Cathy, for such a fun post!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-30771194793299053892016-06-02T06:26:58.731-07:002016-06-02T06:26:58.731-07:00I do love your post!

That photo of you and your Teddy is a treasure unto itself. {{ smile }} What do I collect? Teapots. I know, you're all shocked! And tea mugs. More shock waves. Cameras. I have some older film cameras along with my digital cameras. I guess you could say I collect camera lenses. So, yes, this is a marvelous post to get us thinking about what we treasure, maybe what we should part with and most of all -- the memories represented by these collections. That's the best part. <br /><br /><br />Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-67823995375918891192016-06-02T04:27:44.010-07:002016-06-02T04:27:44.010-07:00Miss Cathy! I could not love this post more! Look ...Miss Cathy! I could not love this post more! Look how adorable you are with your bear! And your pictures of your collections are gorgeous! I couldn't say that I have "collection -collections," but I am drawn to each of the above! Lets see... I have 2 shells and a few rocks (from my son) in my bathroom; I have a few Christmas Golden books - one where Mickey and Minnie take their nephews Chritmas shopping and the kids get locked in Macy's toy department! I have some old "jail keys" and journals. <br />But I think you have given me some ideas here for my quest to clean out the junk here. I think I need to gather some of these and make more or a display - they would look neater and mean more. I never really looked at why I like these things , but you have shown me that its all about memories.<br />and one more thing -I love this post beCAUSE of the memories! Oh my gosh -Pokey, and Flora and Fauna! And the bright blue rabbit that I slept with! Thanks for the memories this morning! Its the start of a good day -I can feel it!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.com
