Except at Christmas when I feel there's no such thing as too much & go all out with a flamingo themed tree.erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11602131076827094013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-86865214582004006362013-10-16T21:10:15.379+01:002013-10-16T21:10:15.379+01:00Oh what a heavenly match-made piece of art.

What a sweet collection and back story :) I love that you've been picking up pieces since you were 18.<br /><br />I'm afraid my collections are kind of weird and not in an interesting way - I collect old obsolete electronics. My personal favorites are computers/game systems and cell phones. I don't know, I just really love to play with them! My collection is small and scattered (I had to put a halt on picking up everythingggg I see because some of that stuff is quite big!), but it makes me happy :) and my boyfriend thinks I'm a weirdo, ha!LLADYBIRDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409560091790703554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-58356234602257286402013-10-10T23:56:44.472+01:002013-10-10T23:56:44.472+01:00That china is perfect for you!

It's so cheerful. <br /><br />One of my favorite collections is vintage decorative state plates that feature special sites/locations from various US states. I mostly have enough to fill a wall in my kitchen at this point, so now I'm only on the hunt for special places-- states I love that I don't have a plate for. I'd love to know if anything similar existed in the UK, I'd love to add one or two to my collection if that were true! :)Tashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11368418516615371972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-38604577398924137972013-10-10T19:25:22.066+01:002013-10-10T19:25:22.066+01:00Hi Jane I adore this set as red is my most favouri...Hi Jane I adore this set as red is my most favourite colour. I love collecting old brooches which I wear every day - I have always worn them even when they were out of fashion and I try to pick up little old ones which are not expensive but which may have been a special treasure for a lady years ago - I like to think that I have rescued them in some way. Love your blog Jane, fabulous.<br />Many thanks<br />Dorothy<br />:-)xxxxxxxxxxx<br /><br />crochetknittingsewing.blogspot.com<br />Dorothy's RoomAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578046964126611388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-23832776342144142522013-10-10T18:30:10.193+01:002013-10-10T18:30:10.193+01:00I am fascinated by peoples collections too.

One thing I really love are vintage brooches, especially involving plants and animals. I have three that I've picked up here and there (not a collection!) but I always make sure to check out brooches in shops. Maybe in a few years I'll be able to say I'm a collector :)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10162742156783840500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-60696846837931992342013-10-10T16:24:45.598+01:002013-10-10T16:24:45.598+01:00I just realized it's the lace trims! not lace ...I just realized it's the lace trims! not lace yardage!

I collect Hornsea Heirloom dishes - I started out by buying a couple of the jars in green at a flea market in Coventry and it went from there. That was about 7 years ago, and in that time Hornsea stuff seems to have gone up in price, but it's something that friends and family buy for me if they see it. I have a fair bit now in all three colours (blue, green and brown) and a few bits of the other designs - a wee bit of Saffron (although I don't like it as much) and some Bronte (which I can't let myself buy or I'll start collecting it) and last winter my Daddy bought me a whole set of Fleur, which is at home waiting for when Nic and I have a bigger place. I love it because it's tactile and usable and also because it's kind of essentially worthless, as it was produced in such large quantities in the 70s and 80s. I love having a boiled egg from my Hornsea Smarties eggcup and not being afraid to use it!<br /><br />Needless to say, I also have a fair collection of dresses and shoes. But I'm not sure if that counts ;)Roisin Muldoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021809571559879091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4512115797894439080.post-23001252387238122542013-10-10T12:01:58.169+01:002013-10-10T12:01:58.169+01:00I love the swimming hat - really lovely design.
