Top 2 Tuesday - Collections!
Greetings! It's Tuesday morning. Tuesday mornings don't do a thing for my mood. Luckily, I love the topic today over at The Undomestic Momma's Top 2 Tuesday!
Top 2 Things I Collect!
1. Poodle Things
Duh. But, I'm a little snobby about it. These poodle collectibles must be unique, or vintage, or awesome in some way. (Seeing that written out makes me realize this is sort of a strange hobby.) Here are a few of my faves...
Vintage brooch. Shiny, pearly poodle-ness. Love.
This was so weird. I found this painting at an art festival last year sometime. It looks oddly, strangely, freakishly like the Prince. If my little pup could enjoy a dirty martini, I have a feeling he'd be all about it.
I found these gems at a tiny antique store in the basement of Pike Place Market in Seattle. I was there visiting a friend, I'm sure she thought I was on a crackrock for not only buying these, but being gaga for them and carrying them around the city for a whole day.
Salt and Pepper Shakers. These are the newest addition and are just plain useful.
2. Wine Corks
This one sort of started as a decor thing, but now, I've got random little jars/vases of them all around the apartment. I keep meaning to make some sort of craft with them. I've got plenty. Any ideas? I think it may be time for a purge.
Perfect for the bottom of a flower arrangement. Notice the poodle statue that didn't make the cut.
Kitchen accumulation. This is the wine area of the room, so it's a little bit more ok.
Miscellaneous decorative jar. Yes, sitting on a box of poodle-shaped smelly soaps. This might be out of control...
Well, I've given you a glimpse into my little world, and am thoroughly conflicted about these collections. I may or may not have just demonstrated myself to be a crazy person. I guess that isn't too shocking.
Tell me you collect something strange....

I also have a cork thing too and get sad when I open a new bottle of wine and it's a synthetic cork! I've made trivets with mine to use on my dining room table when I'm serving meals. They look great and are practical too!
ReplyDeleteI collect chicken figurines...including clocks, salt & peppers shakers (I swear they make those things in just about every shape/size/animal), stuffed animals, kitchen towels, etc. If it's got a chicken on it, I probably have it.
ReplyDeleteSee? Much weirder than poodles and wine corks. :)
Whoever made that picture frame is a pure genius!
ReplyDeleteI love all your poddle stuff! That brooch is stunning!!
ReplyDeleteEven though I don't like poodles, I love your collection. I use to collect vintage unicorn stuff when I was younger.. I think all of my unicorns are in storage till I can find a place to put them. I need a new kind of collection I think..
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a poodle collection and I love the first pic! I have poodle pajama pants...aren't I fancy...??
ReplyDeletegreat ideas!! I collect corks too and I haven't figured out what I want to do with them yet!
