When I was about 10 I started collecting paper napkins!! It only lasted for a few years, but when I got married, my father presented me with box loads of them that had been stored in their attic. These days I try not to collect anything as I am surrounded by clutter, but I find it hard to resist tiny, tiny things - dolls house things that are just perfect. And plants. I'm a terrible garden-centre-aholic. And mugs.

In fact one of the images of billowing washing (a card) was purchased in a gallery in Wales, Newtown I think. <br />My interest then changed to 'windows' and now to more nature-based collections.<br />I've collected many and varied pieces of rust for fabric dying, and I have a book started around twenty-five years ago and still add to, full of quotes ...the pages are yellowing at the same rate as my teeth by now!!<br />Enjoyed your post.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-72482227532408157652013-11-11T00:51:55.279-08:002013-11-11T00:51:55.279-08:00Great post Cait, I love washing lines too, there i...Great post Cait, I love washing lines too, there is a great joy in looking at a line of laundry and I particularly love the smell of outdoor dried laundry.

In some chillier months, I recall wet sheets froze in their billowing shapes. <br /><br />Perhaps nowadays I might be considered to be a collector of yarns. (Both fibre yarns and story yarns.)<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-78017542563524327632013-11-10T06:22:36.047-08:002013-11-10T06:22:36.047-08:00Cait, I also love seeing clotheslines with laundry...Cait, I also love seeing clotheslines with laundry and love hanging it out, which I do for at least six months of the year ... all of it. A few days ago, I hung out sheets for the last time this year. It made me a little sad ...<br /><br />And I collect bookmarks ... :)Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.com
