- these are a few of my favorite things


There's nothing more interesting to me than what people choose to collect. I can't say mine are very unique or gross, but I am pretty consistent with them and I do get super excited when I add another piece to one of these collections. There are a few not pictured (such as my collection of owls) because they're pretty spread out throughout my room, but these are nice and neatly placed for your viewing pleasure!

I started collecting vintage brooches about a year ago and now every time I go to a thrift store or antique shop the first thing my eyes search for are the glass cases that hold them. I love the worn look of rusted metal mixed with the pastel colors and florals. Cameos are my all time favorite. I have about four or five of those alone. Not including the one permanently inked on my thigh - but that's for another post! :) 

My strangest collection out of the three listed here probably has to be the fact that I'm kind of a perfume hoarder. I think I have about twelve different kinds of perfumes/body sprays. I alternate which ones I wear depending on my mood, but my favorites are probably Daisy by Marc Jacobs and Bohemian by American Eagle. The bottles are so pretty, I can't help but buy one every time I smell one I like!

Disney! I used to have every single Disney movie on VHS but sadly my mom thought it would be a good idea to sell them in a yard sale years ago, so I decided to take it upon myself to build up my own Disney DVD collection and so far it's coming along pretty nicely. The only original princess I'm missing is Belle from Beauty and the Beast and I can't wait to pick up Toy Story! Soon enough I'll have to dedicate a whole shelf to just Disney movies.



There are my collections. Nothing too outrageous, but ever-growing and probably something I shouldn't spend money on (but do anyway of course!) Do you have anything you like to collect?  I'd love to hear about it!
