Collections (n): A set of objects gathered together for interest,personal value or beauty.
I have realized that in my home I have an assortment of collections in my home and not all are gathered together. I noticed that I have a lot of ....
* Blue & White pottery
*Mercury glass
*Decorative bowls
*Orchids
*Vintage books
*Grouping of artwork
* Terra cotta pots
It made me wonder when I started collecting these objects and was I aware I was starting a collection? What about these things made us choose them, or do "they" choose us? It's not like I intentionally was in search for these things like baseball cards and such, they just inspired me. I think what you collect says a lot about you. After examining what I collect I could make the assumption that I am pretty traditional and timeless, with an appreciation for old objects? That is pretty spot on. Here are some photos of other peoples collections. I love all the different ways they chose to display them.
This last picture is from PureStyleHome, one of my favorite blogs! I love the way Lauren grouped her favorite glass pieces.I guess what is important is filling your home with objects that you love. If you love it, no matter what it is, it will never go out of style.
I would love to know what you collect?

Such a beautiful collection of pictures too! You've got me thinking now about what it is I collect. Lamps and chairs seem to be my thing, but unfortunately, those don't tend to look good when they are grouped together.
