I always love reading your articles :) The tins are so fun! I collect milk glass pieces. I've found a lot myself, but I've also inherited several pieces from family members. I feel like that's a relatively common collection though :(
ReplyDeletethanks nicey! oooh i love milk glass. so pretty! i'm emailin' ya :)
ReplyDeleteLove looking at everyones collections! I collect Napco and Josef Figurines. They have that cute Kitschy feel from the 50's. Plus I think it's a cute tradition to give my daughter a Josef Girl that corresponds with her birthday. Instant collection for her.
ReplyDeleteoh wonderful, itchin! great idea for your daughter! off to messsage you!
ReplyDeleteWhen my baby was born still at 38 weeks, we buried him with a stuffed elephant from my sister.
ReplyDeleteI later learned that elephants are the ONLY land animal that can, and do, cry. Not only that but they grieve when they have a stillborn or any death.
To keep the memory of my baby alive, I collect elephants. My goal is to have one in each room of the house.
It isn't my main decor or anything gawdy. But if you know me and my story and you come to my house...you know to look for the elephants. Kind of like a where's waldo. They are there. :)

oh zucchini - what a moving story. i'm so sorry for your loss and so inspired by your beautiful words.
ReplyDeleteoff to email you. what a wonderful tale behind your collection.

Congrats to rikrak! for being featured on the etsy blog. Bravo on a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteI only collect vintage thread spools, but I think that falls into the "crafting" category. I too have a collection of wooden elephants, from different countries I've traveled, but with not nearly the emotion or story that is behind zucchini's. So sorry for the loss you have suffered zucchini.

That advertising tin collection is a great one!
ReplyDeleteI collect old wooden and metal embroidery hoops. You might be thinking, wait a minute, that's part of your craftiness. But I don't embroider, they just hang in a lovely fashion on my wall.
