I also have a huge collection of matchbooks (thanks for the idea using the glass canisters) and wine bottles on window sills. One collection I haven't figured out how to display yet is my shopping bags. I have scores from stores all over.

I feel for some of those people, and especially for the families who have to live with them. I do like a nice collection however, especially if has sentimental value. Just not dusy, covered in grime, or disguising the odd dead pet!<br /><br />Suzy xxxorchidlanedecor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545048083798355117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-35786002500887831952011-04-28T07:18:22.235-04:002011-04-28T07:18:22.235-04:00v.cool post darl! its such a fine line between a g...v.cool post darl! its such a fine line between a good thing and an insanely bad thing isnt it. some people have the eye and some dont!jules @ The Diversion Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18261889891875232983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-66390036310918247342011-04-28T01:56:36.394-04:002011-04-28T01:56:36.394-04:00What a beautiful blog!

I do love to accessorize but happily change it up and donate the oldies. I have to admit that I do love a collection though. It's so personal and brings warmth to a home.Carol@TheDesignPageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06295864864829980441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-40269462040468655812011-04-27T16:23:11.189-04:002011-04-27T16:23:11.189-04:00Love this post, and the great images that accompan...Love this post, and the great images that accompany it!

But then after a certain point the clutter drives me crazy and I have to give a bunch of stuff away. Just to make room to start collecting again!Carissa @ the Fabulous Design Filehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307958290258279325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-91431258888813585072011-04-27T13:41:14.509-04:002011-04-27T13:41:14.509-04:00funny small-blog-world moment.

These ladies are hilarious, and posted about just this issue today. http://design-crisis.com/<br /><br />I am not a collector. Meaning, I do not have mass groupings of particular things. I seem to just collect stuff in general. I also never understand how people can cover all their surfaces with collections--don't they need someplace to put the stuff they actually need to USE? It baffles my mind.<br /><br />HeatherHeather (love your space)http://loveyourspace.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640439212004531681.post-88992647902095267912011-04-27T13:18:34.067-04:002011-04-27T13:18:34.067-04:00Great post, Ann Marie.

I think large collections displayed well like on the wall pedestals can look fantastic, but collections can quickly overwhelm a room and become clutter.<br /><br />There was a discussion on the Gardenweb Home Decorating forum about the <a href="http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/decor/msg0309052117784.html" rel="nofollow">"layered look"</a>. Lines were drawn in the sand with some horrified by the amount of clutter and others defending it as a "look" since everything was grouped and dust free.

BUT I adore chatchkas and have a few collections on the go. I do pack them up and change them out and then next time they come out they are in a totally different arrangement and place ... keeps it fresh and interesting.Layers and Layershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359707535739874020noreply@blogger.com
