vintage leather books

more antlers
dogs
dog and hunt scenes and did I say antlers?
pottery
majolica
ironstone
demijohns
That is just some of my collections. The problem is sometimes you find a new piece and don't know where it is going so usually something old moves out for something new to move in. I know I am not the only person this happens to. Am I?
What do you collect?

You have wonderful collections and I wish I lived closer to you!! I know we would be friends!
ReplyDeleteGreat collections Kim and I love your new look!!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I collect Stoneware crocks ("Lyons", for the most part), Niagara Falls stuff, and fabric. Lots and lots and lots of fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove all your collections. Always nice to have something to start with when your out looking...then you never know what you'll find. Love your new look. Happy 2012. liz
ReplyDeleteYou have some great collections, Kim. But my fav are the old leather books - drool.....especially the French ones. Linda
ReplyDeleteI think we were poured from the same mould ... and I have the first cousins to your demijohn on the stool!
ReplyDeleteAllison is my neighbor here in the burbs!
Kim, I love yiur collections, especially the antlers. You have a great style and know just how to put things together.
ReplyDeleteI have really only just started to have collections. Crystal would be the main one at present, although I don't have that much of it. I have enjoyed using little crystal dishes to put scorched almonds in over the Christmas holidays! I also seem to be obsessed with vintage style tin signs and cannot help myself when I see them, particularly when they have pastel colours and cupcakes on them!

Those are all great collections Kim.
ReplyDeleteLove your collections and your new blog look...so pretty!

Kim, there is an entire sisterhood of us collectors. I think for those of us who love the hunt and adding things to our "nest", collecting comes naturally. It's fun to see close up shots of your different collections. You have an eye for knowing how to display your collections so that they become an integral part of your beautiful home. Always a treat! ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful collections, Kim. My goal this year is to pare down on my collections..and keep the things I really LOVE! I have WAY too many things- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! Love all of your collections. Wish I had room for lots of them. My boys are STILL sick! Dentist appts have had to be cancelled and Cody cancelled work all week. Cody is broken out ALL over his body! He read somewhere that if you've never had the chicken pox or shingles (etc.) that is when older people get it. Me and Jimmy are immune then since we've had both. They're slowly getting better. It has really done a number on them. I think it's worse the older you are. You wouldn't BELIEVE what Cody looks like. He's too embarrased to even go out anywhere. No sick people allowed around us this year! Ha!
ReplyDeleteSweet collections. Love the dogs. I am a collector of a lot of things myself and always love getting new pieces. Diane
ReplyDeleteThe ironstone is my favorite, you can never go wrong collecting that.
ReplyDeleteKim - I love all your beautiful things, especially your antler collection. I picked some loose antlers up at a flea market in November and also a pair that needs to be mounted. I was able to use them all on my mantel this Christmas, scattered with all the greenery and pheasant feathers. I really liked how they added that bit of rustic-ness I was looking for!
ReplyDeleteI also want to say thanks for all of the inspiration you freely give us and pictures of your lovely home. I always look forward to visiting with you!
I love old books! You have so many lovely things in your home! Happy New year, my friend! ♥
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteI love all your collections, and I love your new look for your blog. It looks very clean and organized. I may have to check out your designer!
You have some of the prettiest collecions Kim and you really have a knack for displaying them. I have collected things in the past that eventually take over the house so I try not get started. I do have some pretty pyrex that I will pick up when I am see it. Happy New Year. Patty

Hi Kim,
ReplyDeleteWhat were demijohns originally used for? Wine, I'd guess. You are a world class shopper and collector. Love your ironstone collection!
Oh Kim, love all of your collections! They are awesome! Love your pottery and those books are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour collections are legendary in blogland...personally my favorite is the ironstone but the vintage books are closing in. LOVE YOUR NEW BLOG DESIGN! I think it looks fantastic. I'm back to work tomorrow but will try to stay in better touch. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteI adore Antlers! And dog of course. Your statue looks like my darling King Charles Jackson. Great Collections! XO Cindy

Great collections. I love the leather vintage books!
ReplyDeleteYour collections are wonderful. I have been gathering photo's to use in a post about collections and I'd love to use a couple of these, crediting you, of course! Wishing you a very happy New Year! x Sharon
ReplyDeleteIt is great seeing your collections front and center. I have always admired them as they appeared in your posts. Love the antique books. I love collecting them also to use in my decor throughout the house. Your books are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I collect anything...now I feel weird because your collections are so gorgeous! I'm going to have to think of something I'm interested in collecting, besides purses :)
ReplyDeleteStacy
You have some wonderful collections Kim.
ReplyDeleteI really don't collect anything. I did have a rooster collection going, by accident, but now I am whittling away some of them and only keeping my favorites.
You are already fabulous....but a collector too! I love antlers! Thanks for the link to the party! I am off to visit!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim,
ReplyDeleteCollect - I love, love antique glassware (dessert cups, wine glasses, glasses, bowls). I collect when I can. I also love vintage stationery, or ornate stationery.
Very nice collection. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful collections Kim! I like you new look too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I share all of your loves, but have yet to start dogs, hunt scenes, and antler collections. I have a fairly nice ironstone and transferware stockpile found thrifting and antiquing, and I am eyeballing several roe antlers on ebay right now. I use old books throughout my home too.
ReplyDeleteI am new in blogland, and your beautiful blog has been such an inspiration!

ReplyDeleteA girl after my own heart - love the demijohns (I have a collection too) and the pottery and the books ... love everything!
ReplyDeleteKelly
Love the collections. What a wonderful idea for a blog party. I jumped over and joined in, since I'm a BIG collector of way too many things. Your old books, Majolica, and antlers are my favorites. Great post. CJ

ReplyDeleteYou have hands down the bestest collections ever!!! Try to stay warm!!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!

Hi Kim! It is fun to see your collections all in one place. Your home is just full of lovely items...it is so warm, delightful, and interesting. I saw this post over at Alison's "The Polo House".
ReplyDeleteYou know how much I love all your sweet lovelies.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing all of these things with us!
I could take any one of these and put them right into my home.
:)
Thrilled you came to the party, gf.
