i simply remember my favorite things

Old postcards, Wildflowers (pressed), Stamps, Old sheet music, Old books, Coins, Memorabilia, Old maps, Old black and white photographs, Antique Toys, Card decks, Antique marbles, Fossils, Antique bottles, Seashells, Autographs, Sea glass. . .

I'm not sure what it is that makes collections so interesting. . . maybe it's the fact that someone is so fascinated by something that they would give so much of their time to it.

At home, I have a pretty good sized collection of bookmarks. I was in love with reading as a kid. Many of them are homemade, given to me as birthday presents, or bought from places I would visit. I have ones made from wood, ones that turn colors when you rub them with your hands, and ones that have wildflowers pressed inside them.

The collector in this video is pretty intense, but it's a good reminder that you're never too old to start or stop collecting something. So what will be yours?
