apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Ha ha ha! I like that it's sitting on a doily, too.

I've been collecting spagetti jars to do something like that Anthropologie display, but it keeps not happening.

The demijohn is great, the golf tees aren't. And the bread bag tabs were a mistake. Masses of mundane items aren't really a collection--they're just stuff.

That reminds me of my mom's matchbook collection. She had so many they filled up several giant glass jars just like that. I think she eventually gave it away when she moved a few years ago - too bad. She had been collecting since the 60's, and some of them were really neat - like the vintage Harrah's casino matches.

I like it. I have a massive glass vessel filled with matchbooks and boxes. I display it proudly! I've also seen huge jars full of cigar bands, which was nice.

I have a button collection, marble collection, mini-chair
collection and tea pot collection- oh almost forgot the sea
shells....probably left some out.
