I brought back a selection of tiny objects which I found along my recent travels. They now have a new breath of life in different surroundings and I’m sure they will look different again when they leave the shop to join someone else’s collection.

I often see pieces and ponder whether or not to purchase and I regret not buying some pieces. If I had been brave in my buying. I would now have an amazing collection of miniature cats. I actually don’t collect anything and all day I meet people that tell me about their amazing collections of nest’s or shell art or birds. One girlfriend collects anything to do with Nasturtiums, I gave her a beautiful tin that had Nasturtiums flowers printed on it for her birthday. She has an amazing assortment of objects that each fit their theme.

But I think a collection takes time and should never be forced. They can sometimes accumulate without you even realizing. Other times it can be very conscious and there are strict requirements of a worthy candidate.

I wish that I had a collection, perhaps I have one already and have never noticed.

I would love to hear about your collection. How it started, specifications, stories and stand out pieces. Maybe myself and others will be inspired to start our own! x
