What can I say… I love to collect things, all sorts of things. I would much rather go to a junk store, estate sale, rummage sale, flea market or an auction than shop at a mall. You just never know what you will find at those fun places.
Just a few of the thing I collect….
Anything for a Tea Party
Linens
Tea Sets
Luncheon Sets
Silverplate Serving Pieces
Punch Bowl Sets
Cake Servers
China and Dishes
Tib Bit Server
Reverware/Faberware
TY Beanie Babies
Salt and Pepper Shakers
Jewelry
But I think the thing I LOVE to collect most is… Luncheon Sets… I do not know why.. I just LOVE them… The thing is… at times I think I am the only one who LOVES them… I have an insane amount of them..Just for an example.. I have at least 100 sets of the Vintage Milk Glass Harvest Grape and Leaf…Doesn’t everyone?
Can we talk about Vintage Silverplate Flatware? I have lots of sets of those too…. and I do mean lots… did you know that almost all of them have their own name…. I have always been fascinated with rings and things made from silverware….
My plan is to start making jewelry with the flatware that I have been collecting…. I even bought a bender… Please don’t ask me how long I have had it.. and please don’t be like my husband and ask when I am going to starting bending?… Truth is… I am afraid to try….BUT.. one of these days… when I feel I am ready .. I WILL.. But not until… After all when you have at least 3000 pieces to choose from and you love all of them.. It is a hard decision to make..I am almost ready.. ALMOST.
