Did you know that more than three of anything is a collection?
What odd collections of things do you all have out there? And I’m not talking about shoes or lame shit like table cloths or wine glasses . . . I mean what kind of obscure collection of three things or more do you have/love/hoard/feel no special attachment to/or is a guilty pleasure?
I have a collection of monkey t-shirts. And I actually have them with me out here with the small amount of stuff I’ve brought along with me while I live on the open road. I wore one of them yesterday. Along with a monkey on each breast, the t-shirt has chinese characters on it that spell “New Person Being Born.” It ended up being my mantra for the day.
But the story of New Anna Being Born is the next post.
I pick up beach glass. And not the kind that’s ready with the soft edges and the gem type atraction but the little jagged pieces. I guess I started doing this when I realized thast shell collecting was anti-ecology and just not pc at all anymore. I prefer to leave nature as we find her but broken glass… Love you, AnnaBanana. I’m looking forward to the NEXT post.
I collect folding, collapsible, and telescoping furniture. It isn’t that I have more than three pieces that makes it (in my mind) a collection, but the fact that I have slightly more of it than I need. AND i still feel tempted to pick up even more when I come across it.
I also keep empty bottles and dead lightbulbs in a collection of “interesting glass,” the highlights of which are probably the 2 Mrs. Buttersworth bottles, which I guess is “half a collection” of Mrs. Buttersworth by your definition. I love her almost as much a Scooby Doo!
Seems like I almost have a collection of friends who have collections of interesting glass . . . Bob, my question for you is are you at all into telescoping props? Because I have a skirt checker that we could get into great trouble with. And Nan, nothing makes me think more of you than when I’m on a good beach-combing excursion for glass!
Props to the props. I think I might be a folding skirt checker every time I touch my toes.
