Starting a new collection . . . . .

I have collected many things over the years.

My biggest collection is my white enamel pots.  This is just some of them.


And brown bottles . . . . . . 


And dogs . . . . .


And kids . . . . . 


And old cheese graters (no picture) . . . .

And fabric (won't fit in one picture). . . . .

And quilt patterns (still won't fit in one picture) . . . . . .

And WOOL! Lots of wool . . . . . 



What I have always wanted to collect is PEWTER.  It was just cost-prohibitive. But two weekends ago, Dear Hubby and I went antiquing and found these two little pieces.


They are a little banged up but the price was right.  I am keeping them in a cabinet that Dear Hubby built for me.


I hope to have a collection some day that will mean he will have to build a new shelving unit for me!

Blessings, Cathi

I have never known anyone who collected pewter pieces but can understand why you like them.
When I was a kid, we drank water from a white enamel dipper. Why, I don't know. We would just fill it right at the kitchen sink. I think all of us kids drank from the same one.

I love enamelware also. It is pretty inexpensive to find around here, which makes it nice. I collect washboards but need to stop. Have run out of room.
