Obsession or Insanity

 

First it was Vintage Patterns. Vouge are the best. I sold one beauty for $150 last year and another 2 for 99$ I received two boxes from my SIL who was cleaning up her mothers things she no longer needed. There were some beautiful patterns and I just went nuts to begin hunting out older vintage patterns, preferably Vouge Designer patterns from the 50s & 60s. 40s too if possible. My house over runneth with boxes of patterns, I also sell a lot of them at the Booth.

Now it's silverware/cutlery. I have gobs and gobs of it, so super reasonable to pick up. But, the research and then the pain in the neck to polish and photograph!

I have a ton, and I mean a lot, of purses. They are piled up in my bedroom closet, I just ran across a cache in the garage, they are in totes in the photography room waiting their turn to appear! I don't know why I feel compelled to pick them up, but I do. I have coach, Vera Bradley, Aigner etc etc etc. I love them!

And I can not leave a bear behind. I see them and think that they are headed for the dump if I do not take them home. Mainly Boyd's Bears and the occasional BYOB, various brands of imported bears. Mohair, plush....you name it I've got it.

Books. I pick up a ton of coffee table books. I pick up a lot of reference books, I just pick up books.

They sell occasionally I buy obsessively. .
