| A number of people have asked what do I collect? It might be better to ask, what don't I collect? Here are some pretty things sitting around my studio. I like living with them. I love Japanese and Chinese calligraphy..... |
 |
| .....and French cursive writing....and postal images of all kinds...... I have a very large collection of very old French postcards with people dressed up as letter carriers and ladies swooning with mail in hand... |
 |
| If it is old and if it is paper I'd probably like it... |
 |
| Old books, of course -- but you guys already know that -- that would be a whole other post. |
 |
| Love old wooden rulers... |
 |
| Flower and bird postcards and beautiful old handwriting in all languages... |
 |
| I like outdated bank notes - love the bird on this one from the NL. |
 |
| Anything and everything French. Well, you asked.... |
 |
| I love old airmail mail envelopes and bingo cards and typewriter and tape tins and old letters.... |
 |
| Stamps -- this is an old letter from Japan. So, there are just a few of the things I love and collect.....but I just go to ScrapSF and the Vintage Paper and see what I come up with....I really don't spend a lot and I don't troll eBay for this stuff. My little sister is totally confused and does not get this at all. I do not want things from department stores or malls....give me the old and torn and worn and I am happy. I am on the look out for old passports if any of you out there have one to trade. (You'll see why very soon) Want to see any more or does this satisfy your curiosity? And now, how about telling me what YOU collect? SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
