Today's keyword is instant collection .. which perhaps is also can be called hoarder's delight. For the slightly vintage obsessed collector, an instant collection is amazing goodness where one can simply add to their collection x 10, or start an instant collection, hence the name.
So if you don't collect anything currently, by purchasing 3 or 4 of these instant listings, you could start your very own collections just like that! Though my husband would say I don't need more junk, I say the things I collect are treasures!
Just kidding, Nick is really supportive of my thrifting (addiction). Only sometimes when I'm not being practical, he'll tell me not to buy it. But most of the time, I find something cool and hold it up giving him a look and he says sure ;)

I'm always collecting vintage pyrex, but lately I have been unable to resist vintage sheets, the flowery ones from the 60's and 70's. I have no idea what I am going to do with them all, but my stack just keeps growing and growing.
ReplyDeletemmm those are all lovely collections. I especially love the bottles and the pitchers. beautiful. I've seen really nice photographs where items like that were used to hold the flower centerpieces at weddings.
ReplyDeleteI dont collect anything, I dont think....oh. I collect scarfs. Or at least if you saw how many I had you'd think I had an 'addiction'. :)
Oh man, way too many collections going on in my place! :) We're so lucky to have boys who are supportive (or just gotten used to) our thrifting/antique shopping! That harmonica collection is calling out to me! :)
ReplyDeletelovely collections! :) I collect vintage copies of Louisa May Alcott's books... and recently started a collection of vintage cameras.
ReplyDeletenice round up :)
ReplyDeletei like to collect vintage milk glass. It's pretty versatile, and is almost always white so it goes with any decor. It's also super affordable and easy to find.
Love the books! They're usually pretty cheap and nice to look at.
ReplyDeleteLOVING this post, Danni!! Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.

instant collections definitely make vintage shopping a little easier if you know what to look for. i love these items you featured and my favorite is definitely the little apothecary jars.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection! I love the vintage theme. :) I'm not really collecting anything at the moment, except for bits of inspiration.

Such great! I collect random stuff, sometimes glass bottles, sometimes nature stuff (stones etc.), sometimes this and sometimes that. A bit of a hoarder, I guess... ;)
ReplyDeleteI collect lanterns - an odd thing to collect (and takes up a lot of space) - but they make great decorations and remind me of the beach!

I love this! I just purchased the tiny apothecary bottles from funkeyfinds. Not sure yet if I'll use them for anything other than display, but I loved them and was so happy to see them still there - so thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteI actually photographed all my sister's collections and am posting two a week - check it out. love all of these!
ReplyDeleteI am always collecting cake stands. I love them! Vintage cameras are cool. I have a few from the 1960's that I don't know what to do with.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say that I am totally jealous of your collection. I am completely obsessed with all things vintage or old. I just started my own blog and was searching who I could share with and stumbled upon you and may I say, I LOVE your blog. I couldn't be more jealous of your layout.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI collect...
- Socks from the feet of strangers
- Barf bags
- Little spoons
- Business cards
Oh, it is a great post! I really like it!^_^
ReplyDeleteI have to say that anything vintage is worth collecting...it transforms you to a different time. :)

Being born in the year of the horse, I collect horses from different countries. Unfortunately, most of my collection has come from other people's travels and not my own. But I think I have at least 30 horses.
ReplyDeleteLove the harmonicas!
ReplyDeleteLove those button magnets!
