Marbles, buttons, super balls, rotary phones–I seem compelled to collect the bits and pieces of life. Beachcomber, gutter forager, accumulator! I aspire to minimalism, but miss it by a long shot. Here is a glimpse into the galleries of my personal museum. What do you collect? And how do you display (or not) your treasures?

I’m a bit like you. I collect a little bit of everything. Old dishes, vintage canning jars, cookbooks, vintage children’s books, knick knacks
I think I’d like your home, Leah!
You are welcome to come for coffee or tea or a cocktail if you’re ever in Cambridge.
Small collections are charming. As long as they don’t overtake everything. I collect spinning tops and have a small collection of old cameras. We aim for minimalism too so it’s a challenge to find a balance. Your collections are awesome. I especially love the phones and the pens!
Thanks! I agree about overtaking element. Small and simple! Of course, it’s a full time job to keep the flotsam of life (the endless school papers! the avalanche of mail order catalogs!) at bay!
