I'm not much of a collector. I have some Star Trek toys, action figures, and ornaments. I have some comic books (most of them bought when I was in college). I have not added to these collections for quite a while - years I think. You could call my photos to be a collection I guess - not as tangible. Together we have a collection of Travel Magnets. For me, that's about it I think.
The Wife collects bags - purses, handbags, clutches. This is not a complaint. If anything I'm an enabler - I bought her a chicken purse for Christmas (It actually smells like a rubber chicken ... which it is). The Mom and the Matron of Honor also contributed two clutches/wallets to the collection. I am just marveled by how organized her purse closet is. I'm also surprised how she can find them so cheaply. For someone who hates to shop, she is a great shopper.
"This is not a complaint."
ReplyDeleteSmart man, smart man. :)
Can you show us the chicken purse?
ReplyDeleteGH: Smart is nice but I'd rather be wise.
ReplyDeleteMoH: Click on the link and you'll see a picture of the purse.
Organization is the key to ensuring your spouse's continued support of your collecting. Open up our walk in closet and you'll see a whole shelf dedicated to board games, but they're organized by genre and time period. This means the Wifey is cool with it.
ReplyDeleteTo think that you could have bought her a remote-control skunk instead...
ReplyDelete(that photo is nicely lit...just the standard flash?)
Love the chicken purse. Good job!
ReplyDeleteAB: Yes it is. "Organized by genre and time period" - that's a little too organized for me ;-)
ReplyDeletePhil: HA! She would have liked that. Afout the flash - see 1/6/09 post
MoH: Thank you.
