I always love going into someones home and seeing a collection of something that they love.
I also love it when the collection is put together...it seems like it makes a bigger statement that way.
I've wanted a collection of something for years..kind of like I've always wanted at least one tattoo.
The problem with collecting is...
I've never found anything that I loved so much that I wanted a hundred of them.
Until I saw these pictures...
I seriously think I could collect all things Mercury and never get tired of the look.
I'm not sure if I'd keep them up all year long or just during the winter months,
but I do think a huge collection looks so perfectly awesome!
Here's where collections and tattoos go together.
I've always wanted a tattoo but have never come up with anything that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt
I wouldn't regret.
Until this year.
I think I would love a small one on the inside of my left wrist that is the Hebrew word for redeemed.
~as a beautiful reminder~
Who besides me would ever put collections and tattoos in the same post?
We'll just see if either one of them actually come to be.
***edited so that I could spell TATTOO correctly***
You guys are so sweet that NONE of you who commented let me know that I spelled it wrong!!!
so, thanks, I think.
so, thanks, I think.
You are so funny. I love your pictures of mercury glass (gorgeous) and I too have always wanted a teeny, tiny tattoo of a Gaelic symbol but there are so many that are meaningful I could never choose one. I love your idea of "redeemed". How would you ever get tired of that? Even your grandchildren would think it was pretty cool. I hope you do it then come back to share! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the mercury glass - a beautiful thing to collect! I don't have any collections or tattoos but I have learned to never say never!
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great idea for a tatoo!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of collections, but then I get fed up with one and get rid of it and start on something else. Part of the thrill is the hunt!
I love collections and do not love tatoos. But am grateful for redemption.
ReplyDeleteI would love to know if anyone has ever written about tatoos and collections in the same blog post. That would be hilarious.
Merry Christmas,
Fondly,

A collection and a tattoo, huh? Go for both :)
ReplyDeleteI have lots of collections...ironstone, old bibles, little wooden chairs, children's shoes, and on and on. I had an antique store for 10+ years and part of the deal is you trade up and get better stuff yourself. I like them grouped and rotated though b/c I am not a fan of clutter.
ReplyDeleteI also have a tattoo of a butterfly I wish I didn't have on my ankle. I wish it was a cross with the words child of God. I like your idea, but I can tell you I would not do it again.
And it hurts like the dickens too!
beautiful photos, love the idea of the tattoo, very sweet. susan
ReplyDeletei think you should get one. for christmas. just for you. and then...photograph it & share it with all of us! ;o)
ReplyDeleteMaybe try a hand stamped bracelet for a while. I had one made by an Etsy seller that says "MINE" to remind me of Isaiah 43:1. I love wearing it.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
