Your Favourite Collectables!

Okay, now, you in on my side about my little collections.  I love to collect all kinds of things - from handbags to vinyls to coin purses - and it's your turn now.  I'd like to know what you love to collect.

It's been a few years since I started this blog about what I collect; and there's not that many blogs about coin purses - let alone what wickedly beautiful things you can find in charity stores - so what do you collect?  Be it sea shells?  Things that are a certain colour, beer cans, remote controls, sewing machines, picture frames, calendars... I don't how big or small, come and leave a comment on what you collect.  

We'd all like to know. 

And if you have a blog about it, give us the link so we can see your collection too.  I'd love to network with you. 

I'm asking you all this because I'm taking part in an exhibition on 21st July with 9 other collectors around Brisbane at the Home Festival about collections.  My exhibition is going to be about my book collection and how I got into reading, collecting my books and why I love to collect and how it lead to me being a writer.  So, please do come and comment on your collection here.  I'd love to know all about your collections.  And until my next post, happy bargain hunting.

Three Little Coin Purses

Today, I vowed to myself that I wouldn't buy anything too big at Life Line; and you know?  I didn't.  I found three coin purses and bought them... and that was it.  Well, okay, a coin purse and two wallets, but then, who's being specific?  It turned out to be a good day just to look around anyway and not buy anything in the place and I would have been happy with nothing.

Anyway, I did spot this Paul Frank coin purse in the window of the cabinet and absolutely had to have it.  It's the cutest colour and is just lovely.  However, the monkey really isn't the most attractive thing on it, is it?  But being a designer piece makes it the most collectable thing around and that's why I bought it for $2.

Then,I spotted the 'Wonka' wallet!  And what a find!  I'm all for Willy Wonka things and chocolate (it's lovely to eat Wonka chocolate when I do get to buy it once in a while), but this wallet is just the best!  It reminds me of the movie that Gene Wilder was in - you know, the first one? - I love that one.  It was so much fun.

Then, there was this wallet.  I found it interesting, but I don't know much about it.  So, I bought it.  The design on the front isn't DC Comics, but it looks very animated; and thus the reason for my purchase of it.  But it's a solid little wallet.  So, there you go, the three little things I found at Life Line.  What have you found for a bargain lately?  Until my next post, happy bargain hunting.
