I am crossing my fingers madly because I would do absolutely anything to get my hands on that bit of handmade beauty.<br /><br />Looking around my room I realise I am a collector of bits of paper! I suppose most people are but really I can't see anything under the piles of notes and lists. The other thing I seem to have a lot of is picture frames. I had to throw out lots of my clothes to be able to fit everything in my suitcase for Italy, but I still somehow managed to bring along 7 different ornate picture frames and I still feel like I need more!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13931436948216821554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-32164414554588858362010-02-26T22:33:09.165-08:002010-02-26T22:33:09.165-08:00oh my - broken clocks: 14 of them so far. and i lo...oh my - broken clocks: 14 of them so far. and i love them all!<br /><br />xox,<br />Susan<br />susan.mckellep@gmail.cosusan said sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16905418173688861071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-73455006435203910972010-02-26T20:41:49.360-08:002010-02-26T20:41:49.360-08:00*handmade, vintage/antique ruffly "clown coll...*handmade, vintage/antique ruffly "clown collars", I have 26 of these...<br />*vintage silk kimonos: 5<br />*1920's silk slips: 11<br />*victorian shirts/tops: about 30, I think<br />*orange lustre ware: 11 pieces<br />*jadite: 7 pieces<br />there is somuch more and yet less than ever as I have really weeded down my collections. it used to be bad. borderline hoarder...gold fawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341296839868432417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-51556398478490734512010-02-26T19:45:59.465-08:002010-02-26T19:45:59.465-08:00I think that I might be too late with my confessio...I think that I might be too late with my confession but I will try anyhow.<br />I have a thing for coloured glass, I have shelves of vintage coloured glass from the 50's, about 10 large munrano glass vases/bowls.

Okay! Fine! <br /><br />My name is Kelley and I have an addiction to the following: vintage wooden shoes(think Holland)but really souvenir de france, especially if they are painted with the french flag and have writing. The smaller the better and singles are sought over pairs. I have over 20. <br />then there is the Virgin Mary collection...plaster of paris, plastic, miraculous medals, lithographs. Again I love the singles and have been know to covet the virgin marys in nativitiy scenes. bad, bad, bad.<br />Okay, then there is the bird collection. Buttons, pins, tiny ceramic birds, early 1900's plates with birds on them. the chirp-ier, i mean, the chippier the better. <br />We move on from there to butter pats, bone dishes, ironstone pitchers, single salt and pepper shakers, French postcards. Really anything French, esp. Eiffel Towers. Vintage linens, shabby needlepoints, cottage paintings, honey pots...violets<br /><br />whew. i need a break.<br />kelley<br />paris123 at comcast dot netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-64553676660757643142010-02-26T16:29:28.632-08:002010-02-26T16:29:28.632-08:00I'm quite sure that the giveaway deadline has ...I'm quite sure that the giveaway deadline has passed but I just wanted to join in anyway...

A fabulous 6 foot tall mannequin named Lola stands beside me, wearing a Harvard tshirt and a measuring tape. A banner of small artworks are clipped up across the ceiling. Behind me, a vintage tin Holly Hobbie sink acts as an end table beside an overstuffed yellow chair.<br />I guess, in the end, this means I just collect "crazy".<br /><br />hugs,<br />Heidi<br />heidig@gmail.coimDigital Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389264864693682561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-37460387225440605292010-02-26T12:12:51.081-08:002010-02-26T12:12:51.081-08:00ok, so I've taken inventory of my little abode...ok, so I've taken inventory of my little abode and there's no doubt nor mistaking that my happy little addiction is yarn. Soft, lovely, warm ,comforting yarn. Wool, alpaca, cotton, silk, linen, mohair, angora -- I love it all and freely admit it. <br />Now, the hard part is admitting that I have 62 skeins of yarn in my fendish possession. That's 62 FULL skeins of yarn! I probably shouldn't mention that I also have a whole basket full of partially used bits leftover from finished projects. Plus I have 3 works in progress on the needles right now -- 2 scarves and a pair of socks. So, although I'm sure I'm not worthy to be the proud owner of lovely dottieangel delights (and I DO love that little bird), I'm grateful to be the beneficiary of the joy of reading your eloquent prose and being charmed by your home and creations. (Plus, I enjoy hearing about little olive's misadventures). Thank you for sharing a little of your sunshine with us all.<br />Blessings and happiness,<br />Athenagypsysticksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-77560014093447064252010-02-26T11:14:29.236-08:002010-02-26T11:14:29.236-08:00COnfession time...

I am not sure when it started but having sat in my room and looked around I have amassed at least a dozen thus far and I actually would love a dozen more. They have been the cheapest collection for me. I have snagged some at 12 cents to the most expensive at $5 dollars. Not bad if you think about it.cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562860052427596613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-6525191622844132322010-02-26T09:58:48.563-08:002010-02-26T09:58:48.563-08:00I LOVE your style and your little mossy shed!

When I got married I put a chicken on wheels utnesil holder on our registery for fun to see if anyone would buy it and yes someone bought it. She is now proudly displayed on my kitchen counter along with my chicken salt&pepper shakers, vintage iron chicken wall hangings and my chicken vintage plates. I now have to look for anything chicken when I go anywhere. I even have my own flock of 15 chickens in my back yard, ha ha! Six years ago if you would have asked me if I like chickens I would have proudly said no but I married a farmer and now I am in love them even my little Cru Ella that lays me little brown eggs.

I admit to all of these passionate collections. <br /><br />But to address your giveaway question, I took a serious look around my home, garage and yard, and came up with a surprise of my own . . . I seem to collect those plastic plant and flower tags that are stuck in the containers when you buy them. I seem to have saved every one of them. What the heck?!?!?!? This almost seems hoardish vs. a sweet and lovely collection. Guilty as charged.<br /><br />And a wonderful giveaway it is!
