a shelf full of collections from Tracy Garet, books, vases, dishes
john barman's collection of books
silver and books, perhaps?
Someone after my own heart, a collection of china
artwork and artifacts
I'm always drawn to interiors which have more of the collected look -to me they're like extentions of the owner's persona and more interesting than a bland room. In life, everyone tends to be either very self-reflecting or outwardly reflecting; Perhaps the minimalists collect thoughts or feelings and leave the tangible posessions to us collectionists? One set appreciates internal beauty while the other appreciates the wonders of the world, but can these 2 camps ever mix? I don't know, but till I figure out why I'm a collector, I'll just keep enjoying!

Actually, the word is 'eschew'.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy your blog.
Thanks!
I think you either have the gene or you don't. My dad was a collector and my mother isn't. I am a collector and so is my brother. My two sisters are TOTALLY not! I am of the feeling that more than three of anything is a collection!
ReplyDeleteyes, i think my father is and my mom isn't really. All of my grandparents were though as well!
ReplyDeleteI am a collector! Especially of wonderful blogs. :)

ReplyDeleteIll admit- white porcelain dishes for every possible necessity -- oh and napkins...eek:)
ReplyDeleteAnyone who says they are not a collector need to inspect how many pairs of shoes they have in there closet. I had my collection published as poart of a contest. Nope... not going to tell you what it was. Maybe I'll share with BTC.
