Once that trend ended, I didn't replace it with anything. I'm honestly not that big on souvenirs unless it is a really special trip.
There was a period of time when we collected beanie babies as a family. We all enjoyed the thrill of the hunt. Now we laugh about that illness and are glad we got out of it in time to break even when we sold off the bulk of our collection. There are still a few in a box in the attic...
Now it seems Jay and I are into collecting and restoring antique/vintage furniture and furnishings. Some are for our home. Some are for our future business.
I love the cherry wood color.
I love the shape of the drawer.
I love the hardware.
I love that it is tall enough to be functional and that it has storage (although the bottom remains empty at this point).
I could share a lot more about this recent "collection" but I've discovered that I need to take some photos! I don't have many of these items photographed.

A furniture collection could be heaps of fun!
I love the pin collection. I can remember being roped into the Beanie hunt for some friends and posting them a couple they couldn't we find. It certainly was a big craze
'Real' furniture has such lovely character doesn't it? I too love the curve of that cabinet drawer. Superb!
Collecting and refurbishing sounds more purposeful somehow that just acquiring and having, and others will be benefiting too! I am a total failure on the collecting front ...
I can remember collecting Beanie Babies with the kids as well.
I do pick up magnets when traveling....my fridge is covered in them....the problem with that is that other people think you collect magnets and give them to you from their travels....and without wanting to sound rude.....I only want ones that hold memories for me/us!!!
That's a great piece!
I have a little box filled with pins I accumulated for a variety of reasons during high school. I never stuck with Camp Fire Girls long enough to earn anything near a collection! Now I collect jewelry when we travel if I see something I think will go with a lot of things.
