A funny thing happened to me. Recently I was told that my collections are not large enough. Apparently I don't have enough 1950s picnic tins . . .
Or enough hand-tinted antique photographs . . .
Or enough colorful 1940s tablecloths . . .
. . . or even enough vintage art pottery.
Let me explain. A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a wonderful magazine in the UK. Every month, they write about a collector and feature twelve photos of their collection. The magazine's editor kindly requested a sampling of my stash and I sent them the above photos. Upon reviewing my submissions, I was told that I don't have enough stuff. That was a first!
Oh, well. But how lovely to be considered. :)

I guess I would take it as a compliment. They are probably looking for hoarder houses, which your house certainly is not.
I love your kitchen by the way. The colors are so soothing and beautiful. It makes me want to come over and relax with a cup of coffee.:)

Your collections are displayed in such a way that each piece can be seen and appreciated. I don't think a collections has to mean having every single thing that exists.

Humm---sure looks like some awesome collections to me. I think I might know something about collections right Susan, lol. Sorry but it's their loss.
I love the way you display your collections. You have the room to spread them out so you can see everything and you do a great job of displaying.

That's just silly! I've always heard that 3 or more is a collection, and your collection certainly exceeds that. It's wonderful.
