I love collecting antiques, from a cupboard to a small figurine.

However, I need to stop collecting them coz my mom says my house is becoming

a) Like a museum

or

b) Like an antique shop

doh grin

I have a small collection of people who look remarkably like me.

And a larger collection of Doc Martens.

Hi Jac

Two mini Jac's, like Russian dolls, or the three witches of Macbeth, we are. laugh

My house is a bit like a museum, too. It's a shame we can't pop round for coffee at each other's houses. hug

I know otherwise my kids would have to go over to your house in order to look for me or vice versa!! giggle giggle giggle

That would be cool, huh? To be able to hang out at each other's place and share some yummy cupcakes over a cuppa? sigh

If you have cupcakes, it's my daughter and granddaughter who would disappear into your house and not come home. laugh

I have a collection of postcards...

It is not terribly exciting, but I like it... sigh

These things date from 1900 and mostly war cards and cities from 1900 to 1950.

What fascinates me is that Tanzania is Tanganika, and so forth.. as lots of countries have had name changes..

so to go with this... I bought maps of the war, and thru postcards, I can track what happened...

I know... boring as anything... that's me..
doh

PS. I've just looked at your photos and I'd describe you as curvy, or at a push voluptuous, but definitely not large. You have a great figure to tailor for.

The short people will soon be over to help you out with cup cakes, all the same. laugh

Hi ah goldengloss..wave

I love old buttons too... I guess I do similar... cut them off clothes that I no longer need, and keep them for any future outfit that I might want to make..

as for jewellery, Oh.. don't get me started... I have way too much...

applause cheering

Oh wow, old jars and tins of buttons salvaged from charity shops and car boot sales and the joy of going through them and discovering the gems.

Do you use them? They inspire me to make outfits, or soft furnishings, or I replace buttons on clothing to enhance the quality and style of an item.

Matching up good (often retro) fabrics with old buttons, designing and creating...oh the joy! laugh
