Collections

The Nester has a post about collections and I just had to join in. I know my last post was about my apothecary jars, but they are one of my favorite collections. I've worked years to get it to where it is today.

I also collect cloches, or cake domes. Here are just a few.

I have a number stacked inside one another. Mostly for lack of space in the new house!

I also have a collection of white ironstone pitchers. Most of them are still in boxes, again for lack of space. Funny, this house is bigger than our last rental, but it's laid out so differently. I also didn't realize how much I used the top of my kitchen cabinets for decor and our cabinets go all the way to the ceiling here.

One more collection that I will share is my antique green book collection. Some are over 100 years old! This represents about a quarter of them...
I have a lot more collections that I rotate through. If I had them all out at once it would be so cluttered. Most of groupings are simple so that multiples don't feel so busy. I also tend to like simple clean lines and colors.

Head over here to see other great collections!
