Are you a collector?



Some people pay a fortunate to collect art pieces. 

Others like me enjoy more humble collections. Every time I travel to a new country I buy a souvenir, most of the time a mug for my morning coffee. Without even realizing it I have amassed a colorful series of more than fifty mugs. While sipping my coffee, I never miss looking at the picture on my mug and remembering the fun time I had in the country it came from. 



When the foreign mugs filled more than two shelves in the kitchen cabinet, I stopped buying mugs. But I needed  souvenirs. So be it. I shifted to oven gloves.


And later to salt and peeper shakers.

Do you like to collect particular items?

  1. Mona, we are sisters from different mothers. I collect hot pads and magnets from places we visit, plus everyone knows I love coffee, so I'm often gifted mugs.

  2. Mona, I collect pitchers. My mother started the collection, and when she passed away, I continued it. I have pitchers sitting in most of my window sills.

  3. I collect Christmas ornaments. I use them every year and they remind us of the places we've visited.

  4. Mel, I stopped collecting magnets when we changed the refrigerator to a stainless steel one. The magnets don't stick on it!
