They're great, however, for holding other old stuff--assorted, not collected, stuff, just a jumble.Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245301334922883500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-39907811942380909732009-08-04T11:40:13.845-07:002009-08-04T11:40:13.845-07:00What an interesting post.

I have tons of books, in fact I can't unpack them all because this new house doesn't have enough space for all my bookcases, :-( <br /><br />Once I had my Kindle I realized that the physical book isn't what I'm madly in love with, (although some books must be held to be appreciated), I love the words and they're just as poignant when read digitally. Think about it, all your blogs are digital. I look at it this way, I'm saving trees these days.<br /><br />I forgot to say I collect cook books too. But I stopped and I gave some away. Like I said, there comes a point when you have enough STUFF.<br /><br />I make a practice of not getting carried away, because what's the point of owning something that you can't use everyday? No point.Elizabeth Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150221675618198674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-71462554427256730992009-08-03T09:24:59.489-07:002009-08-03T09:24:59.489-07:00I used to collect Pez dispensers too, great shot o...I used to collect Pez dispensers too, great shot of that & the other pictures as well (even the double). How many tablecloths do you have?<br /><br />Currently whittling down a collection of shotglasses from over 300 to just 15. Used to collect stuff with pigs on it too. Unfortunately I found collections just collect dust & I am not much of a fan of dusting lol. <br /><br />Now I pretty much only collect music. Working on collecting money too, not as easy as the music ;-)CSD Faux Finishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947691876538206892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-67928808863151533582009-08-03T08:59:07.608-07:002009-08-03T08:59:07.608-07:00NO Kindle for me!

I love to hold a real book - I love the look of them, the feel of them and the smell of them. I do see the advantages though ... especially when I have to pack so many books to take on holiday.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938431508430656253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-16814696107558933422009-08-02T11:03:01.159-07:002009-08-02T11:03:01.159-07:00The pictures of your collections are lovely.

I know what you mean about deciding that you've collected enough though. I don't have all of my collections on display at the same time in the interest of keeping the clutter under control.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-13995909435978908622009-08-02T01:28:22.926-07:002009-08-02T01:28:22.926-07:00great blog - thanksgreat blog - thanksBALLET NEWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092798152281062087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-84456603956651480322009-08-02T01:12:09.958-07:002009-08-02T01:12:09.958-07:00Hi, what a lovely post.

I don't think you can get the sweets though I noticed last week that Trebor Basset have started re-selling some of the oldies again.<br /><br />What it would be to have old-fashioned sweet shops on the high street again.......BALLET NEWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092798152281062087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-10654038193232885172009-08-01T18:29:56.769-07:002009-08-01T18:29:56.769-07:00Oh, I love collections of odd and interesting thin...Oh, I love collections of odd and interesting things. My biggest collection would have to be books, but over the years I have collected all manner of things. Bottle tops, drink coasters, stickers, stamps, paintings from different parts of the world and my husband and I have a massive hat collection from all the places we have visited.Tabitha Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196816108272065974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-86330599425252809382009-08-01T16:12:21.852-07:002009-08-01T16:12:21.852-07:00Elizabeth,

I collect lots of stuff such as hand painted porcelains, tea pots, hats, vintage linens and tableclothes, old books, and cups and saucers, to name just a few:). As a child I was pretty tunnel-visioned, I only collected horse stuff-specifically Breyer model horses. I enjoy collecting and I actually make use of most of my collections as I feel that life should be a celebration every day so use the good stuff and pamper yourself:)!<br /><br />I hope that you have a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />KimThe Victorian Parlorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18390329658107649983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981771317071817483.post-61538837963923247882009-08-01T14:56:00.189-07:002009-08-01T14:56:00.189-07:00My kind of gal!
