for that special object that you are so interested in ? I don't actually have anything that I collect, but I would love to hear about your collections. I have come back to edit that last comment I made as, looking around my house, I now realise that it is full of collections !!!!! Here is a selection of some of the things that people collect and how they display them .
This doesn't really look like a ' collection '. it just looks lovely
Blue and white china looks so pretty on a dresser and don't the sunflowers add a happy, summery touch ?
Chairs as a collection. Not sure !!
The baskets add a practical touch to collecting and did you know that there are so many shades of green glass ?
Can't get over how impressive these doorknobs look. It's the way they have been displayed.
........and finally, knitting needles !!!!!
This is one of the best ways of displaying a collection of photographs.
........and finally, knitting needles !!!!!
Hi Jacqueline!
ReplyDeleteYou're asking me if I have any collections????? Oh my....it is an obsession with me and life long and I've lived a relatively long life so...I have many collections....to name a few...yellowware, graniteware, wireware, ironstone, baskets, linens, quilts, samplers, garden items, kitchenware, buttons, sewing items, postcards, other ephemera, ok....I'll stop now....sorry...you asked!!!
Take care, Laura
Books! How could I forget that?? and thanks for stopping by and leaving kind words....I love to hear from you!!

Oh, those doorknobs are really quirky but I love them! I'm not really a collector of any specific thing, but maybe one day when I have a larger home (and room to display collections) I'll set my sights on something to collect.
ReplyDeleteThe chairs look like my garage! LOL... not to collect.. but chairs waiting to be re-upholstered/painted!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Jackie! Love the blue and white china and the doorknobs.
ReplyDeleteI do love jugs.....have started to collect those.....and photo frames.....if I had more space, I would definitely collect much more :)
Hi Jackie!
ReplyDeleteI love how we look at a lot of the same blogs....news travels fast in blogland doesn't it....I saw you are off to the Amalfi coast.....I am green with envy!!!
My husband's family are Italian so we are off to the countryside near Parma and then driving via Lucca to Florence.....I can't wait :)
Have a lovely week-end,
Simone :)
Happy Friday Jackie: Oh how I adore all those collections. I wish I had a old Irish cupboard filled with creamware. I am embarrassed to say that I really don't collect much of anything. I use to but since I married Mr. Scotland, we have moved so much that I have slowly gotten rid of a lot.I think I could be a crazy lady & collect chairs like those. That'd be me!! Terrific post my dear♥
ReplyDeleteBooks, glass jars, fun little wooden boxes, and lots of woven baskets...great post and love to collect pretty things!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you!

Mmmmmmmmm........that would be a resounding YEP! You name it....I probably collect it. My family laughs at me. You can't get a car in the garage and every nook and cranny is full. Scary stuff....what would I do without my "stuff"???? :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog!
Blessings,
Spencer
Came by because Julie from being Ruby told me about you. I had seen your blog before but forgot to save it....so glad to rediscover you again. I love your blog...it's totally everything I love. Yes I do collect but mostly nature things and especially bird themes.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Carole
I love and collect old mirrors, mother of pearl, chandelieres, what am i thinking, I can't even begin to name my collections. If you have more than three it is then a collection. Great post. HEidi
ReplyDeleteLove the collections that you found! I try not to be a collector of anything specific, but I do adore old plates. I like the green glass, door nobs and the knitting needles!
ReplyDeleteCollections...okay deep breath.. Wedgewood green majolica, Limoges boxes but only the fruits & veggies, vintage botanicals, Ball jars (esp the blue series), vintage monongrammed linens, kitchen tins...hey what can I say I worked in antiques for 11 years...
ReplyDeleteby the way after your masssage remember we're having the gourmet 5 course spa dinner by the reflecting pool....
Ooh beautiful pictures. I have so many of silver candle stands that I think its safe to name it a collection...would like to collect more pretty teacups!
