i have always been a fan of collections
but never been a good collector.
i love these collections. well curated, beautifully displayed and so intriguing.

it's not something i do well. sometimes i over collect.
i collected rocks once.
i walked up and down our dirt road
and put tons and tons of rocks into a box.
at least until someone found out where all the road gravel was migrating.
{ to be fair, i was probably seven }

now i under collect. not quite devoted to one thing.
there are a few globes. there are a few glass cloches with interesting things under.
the air plant numbers are dwindling, my black thumb strikes again.
and there's a fair pile of lewis carroll books but nowhere to display them.

what do you collect? how do you curate and display?
someday i shall get the hang of this!

2 notes:

  1. black thumbs unite. i have also recently managed to kill my airplants and an aloe plant i've had for YEARS. sad, really.
    at least your dog collection is thriving...

  2. Edward Gorey was a grand collector. He had rooms filled with different things, rocks, books, stuffed animals, all sorts of things. Splendid, really.
