when i was 17 i had an art teacher who used to collect stuff. he had pretty much every copy of vogue from 1960 (or thereabouts). i thought he was a bit weird at the time but i would kill for that kind of collection now.
weddings start up this weekend again in earnest and i'm frantically trying to organise myself before they do. i've been on a mad spring-cleaning tip the past couple of weeks. when we moved house last summer the plan was for me to use the garage building in the garden as a workshop. after this winter however i've had to revise that as we've realised that it aint exactly watertight. also the electrics are a bit iffy.

so i'm moving back inside. this is better because:
a) it's watertight
b) the electrics aren't iffy
c) i'm nearer the coffee source
d) i've got wi-fi
flowers are arriving friday. i'll try and take some pictures of pretty then.

Ahhh, nostalgia. I love things older than me or just as weathered.
ReplyDeleteWe are obsessive collectors in our house. Mr P reckons he may have the world's largest collection of deely boppers... around two hundred!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the weddings.
deely boppers! that's such a funny thing to collect, i like it
ReplyDeletethese old books are lovely
ReplyDeleteFirst off, thank you for the lovely comment that you left for me the other day. I am happy to have discovered your blog through it -- such a great blog you have!
ReplyDeleteAs for your art teacher -- how intriguing. I can hardly imagine how wonderful it would be to go through all of those issues :)
Have a great day*
i really like the bowls in the third picture. i love that kind of color for things made of glass.
