My place and yours - Our collections.
I love collections!
I love the way having a few of something together changes the way it looks as a single thing.
I have so many collections, mostly craft related but for this post I am limiting myself to one and have chosen my rubber duck collection.
This collection sits in the kid's bathroom on the window ledge (too dark in there today). The ducks I have bought are always second hand but I have been given some gorgeous new ones over the years. The ducks are pulled down and dragged around the house, but I don't like them in the bath because some of them are a bit old and used. I haven't bought a new one to add to the collection for ages because the window ledge is quite full, but I have considered building them their own shelf so I can.
Bren collects tools. No rules about where they come from or new or used, just lots and lot of tools. A while ago he had a dream that he was driving around the back streets of Daylesford and came across a new hardware shop hidden away. Somewhere only the locals knew about. He was disappointed when he woke up.
Indi collects owls.
Jazzy collects Barbies.
And Pepper collects words. I can't remember what the other two were like at this age but her language and sense of humour astounds me. She calls her toy turtle
Armpit, she told me last night that she wanted to sleep in a huge bed (not a cot) in Indi's house (room), and she calls Bren Brenny, 'Bye Brenny, I taking the big girls to school now'.
Thanks so much for playing along this week and letting us have a look at your collection and thanks so much
Pip for letting me choose and wear the crown for the week.
