THINGS

You got me thinking sister.  I think I am more hoarder than collector.  Hmm. But I'm trying my best to not end up on a reality show.  I suppose I do have some small collections:

1. Wood letterpress letters.  Remember when we were at the Brooklyn Flea and that crazy lady was all over the vendor with the wood letters.  We raised an eyebrow thinking we have a ton of these at home.

2.  Vintage jewelry.  Recently organized my collection so it looks well curated as opposed to a pile of $1 junk jewelry at a garage sale.

3. Inexpensive art.  I always go for the cheap piece that nobody else grabs because of a damaged or quirky frame.  I have a small pile of "art" that still hasn't made it to the walls.

4. Bags.  Purses, tote bags, clutches, vintage handbags, you name it.  Also recently organized this stash and had a hard time thinning the pile.

5. Signs.  I love signs, preferably an old sign.  My collection is speckled throughout my house.  I remember where I bought each one, who I was with when purchased and how much I paid.
