Round Robin's challenge this time is "Collections". Whether it's seashells, stamps, rocks, boyfriends(!), dolls, fountain pens or anything else, show us your collection or collections! It's as simple as that!
I have several collections. Some, I've been collecting for many years and others more recently. The one I've personally owned the longest is my doll collection.
Being the only daughter and only granddaughter for many years gave me the lovely advantage of inheriting the "girly" things. As a child, I spent many hours playing with these dolls, rearranging them and even naming them.
While some were simply gifts for Christmas or my birthday, others, such as this beautiful baby doll, belonged to my grandmother when she was a little girl.
The second collection is a small set of ironwork finials. Here is a portion of my collection which is on currently on my mantel.
The last collection I've pictured, begun a few years ago, is one of violin bottles. Inspired by my daughter's talent on the violin and an article I read in a Good Housekeeping magazine many years ago, I started looking for the bottles when I visited flea markets. Most likely produced in the 1930's and 40's, they come in a variety of colors and most range in size from 6"-10". My favorite? --the pair of tiny vintage bottles that I found in Canton, TX.
Be sure to take a look at the collections of the other Round Robins. The linking list is here.
