Quote of the Week

"If you are collector, let other people share your pride and joy. Don't sprinkle your collection out of sight in a meaningless jumble. Notice how groups of small objects, when they are well arranged, become important and effective. Remember that repetition is a form of emphasis. Collect what you will, but see to it that you arrange your hobby to its best advantage."

  6. great quote! i'm (so far anyway) not a big collector of anything specific, except maybe sea glass. i have 6 large pretty clear glass jars (becoming full), one of them is what i call "chips", chips of china plates i've found walking the beach. all are displayed in a row from lighter to darker (glass) and on top of a very beachy hand painted cabinet i have. i love the look. and i love that i've found every piece. lots of beach time that means :)

    thanks for the comments. uggs are soooo not me either, that's why i asked about the hype of them. i guess i could see flopping around the house in them like slippers, but out? i'd feel a bit sloppy i think. :)
