I would get new pieces at yard sales, thrift stores, vacations, and gifts. My mom gave me a bunch that were hers when she was little. Now that my daughter is turning 9 and has started her own miniature collection, I think it is time to continue the tradition and pass mine and my moms on to her :)<br /><br />MorgenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-34163147855162116912010-03-06T00:55:26.267-06:002010-03-06T00:55:26.267-06:00I love those paints!

It seems like each week I am starting another collection. My favorites are probably child's silhouttes, pottery, spun head figures, curtain tie backs...the list goes on and on.

My favorite ...Love those paints and the barrettes! My favorite collection is buttons...new and vintage. I probably have 10,000-15,000, all sorted by color in square glass canister jars. I use the jars as bookends. I also have some buttons lying around in baskets and little dishes. I love running my fingers through them and looking at all the detail.<br /><br />I collect kaleidoscopes, which I absolutely love but they can be quite expensive. I have most of them on display but not all of them since we don't have THAT much room.<br /><br />Another collection (hopefully retired) is blown glass perfume bottles. Stunning and gorgeous but again, very expensive.<br /><br />Vintage handkerchiefs are also on the list. I have several of my grandmother's in addition to my mother-in-law's. I just love them and can't bear to use them in any artwork, although they would be beautiful.<br /><br />Ok, that's it. I'm sure I have numerous items that others would consider a collection but not anything else that I specifically seek out.<br /><br />I lied, I also buy and collect fun glasses...glittery, crazy, goofy, you name it. I have about 80 pair and have a lot of fun with them.Traci Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14119074136613358640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-44310915954257015062010-03-05T18:31:48.752-06:002010-03-05T18:31:48.752-06:00Those barettes are wonderful...as are the china st...Those barettes are wonderful...as are the china sticks.<br /><br />I love my sewing box, Kari.
