I have been trying to decide what to post for the GPP CRUSADE no.6, which is titled PICK YOUR POISON - the stuff you collect. The first item I have chosen is vintage post cards. I went on an auction buying binge several years ago. The bigger the lot the more ecstatic I was. I also have an album full of my favorite ones. Well favorite at that moment.
My next item is anything Mary. Especially vintage statues where she is holding Jesus. I guess it is the Catholic mother in me that is attracted to these pieces.
Here is a partial collections of my boxes Which are filled with all sorts of creative bric brac. They are filled with markers, pencils, buttons, copper tape, beads ,ribbon, stamps, paints etc. I love the boxes as much as I love what I put in them.
I also collect vintage enamelware, vintage corbels , and any old really interesting architectural pieces.
susan - thanks for joining in the crusade! postcards! there's another thing on my list....and Mary - I do collect the virgin and child postage stamps every year. nice to see your stuff!
