10 Collections I’ve Had Over the Years

Leave it to Carole to post another I couldn't pass up.  I love collections.  Each addtion somehow enhances and makes the others just that more interesting.

  1. Masks. Mine are from Mexico and Guatemala.
  2. Painted fish. Again from Mexico
  3. Alebrijes. Those little creatures or monsters, again from Mexico.  Are you beginning to see a pattern here?
  4. Shells.  
  5. Rocks,  All sizes, all shapes, real and in pictures. I love rocks.
  6. Blue Ware Pottery.  I draw the line at anything over $20.  That has become very limiting as it more popular than years ago.
  7. Huipiles.  Again from Central America, these highly embroidered and / or woven blouses are amazing.  I have many.
  8. Yarn.  Goes without saying, right?
  9. Bags and boxes.  Useful and fun.
  10. Buttons.  I can still remember how much fun it was to go through my Nana's button box.  Now I have my own.

Yep, there's more but I'm off the hook with ten!
