It was pretty funny to me, I was looking back on my old posts and it seems I go through fazes in my collecting. I pick one particular item or category and run with it. I have done this all my life with my collections. I pick one thing or theme and buy the hell out of it, I only buy that particular item for a while then switch to something else.
One of my earliest memories was from being around 8 years old and my grandma taking me to a yard sale. I came upon a big beautiful unicorn statue, she was white, pink and purple iridescent. I loved her, she also had a couple little friends that were not shiny but still colorful with her. I asked my grandma (more like begged her) to buy me the unicorns for my room. Since it was all under $2 she didn't have a problem doing it for me. Thus the unicorn craze began and I was on the hunt for them till I had a whole shelf full. At the time unicorns where going out in the late 80s so it wasn't too hard to find good deals on the fad that was dieing out. I moved on from this collection a year (when I was a kid it took a little longer for me to switch collections, now it is more like months) or so later, I believe it went to pugs or maybe trolls but my unicorns was probably my favorite collection as a child. Think I may have 1 packed away somewhere, I need to get her out for old times sake.
As you can see I have moved from everything kitchen to pyrex to jadeite and also jewelry (I know so random but for some reason I love it at the moment). Also another one of my many quirks is if I find something at a sale or thrift store and there is more than one and they are cheap enough I have to buy them all... Kinda like an adult version of pokemon, gotta have them all. So sorry to over run you with a bunch of posts with the same theme but that is what I am focusing my money on right now. Who knows what it will be in a couple of months.....
