I started collecting when I was in High School, the serious
collecting that is.
We all collected dolls and doll clothes if our Parents let
us. Or we made them ourselves from scraps of old clothes we had out gown or
some of both. But none the less we had our collection of doll clothes for our
dolly. I even collected little stuffed animals, my last one was from a
boyfriend in High School, It was the prize of all Teddy Bears in Pink Mohair it
was 2 die 4. No I do not have it any more gone with the other collections of
those times; not sad at all. I think the ones I have now are far more
interesting.
That soon grew into other areas of my life, buttons that
grew out of watching my Grandmother sifting through Her stuffed button box;
they looked like Jewels some even glistened in the sunlight. Oh to have a few
of those I thought, the pretty one is what I wanted most. She had pink ones I
wanted so much, I am sure that is why I have the ones I posted below. I am
working my way to the Antique Sterling Silver Luggage Tags. I am using some of
them on my Lariat creations. I always stop to think where do I think thay have
traveled to ~ far off exotic lands of Love and Intrigue??? Did someone meet the
Love of their life on that trip??? Well we’ll never know for sure, but it would
make a fantastic story in a book. Any way you can see how I am using them in my Lariats, only a few will have them. I can only stand to part with a few of my treasures. More pictures next time.
Stay Forever Fabulous ♥
