Collecting - Collection


I don't collect, it just happened



While living part time in Santa Barbara, California, we often visited a certain consignment shop




Always, something interesting caught our eye and it would come home with us to Utah. 
No doubt, the flowers were added much later.
I didn't do it (although my friends have accused me of having done so)




No cabinet of this height would have only been 11 inches deep.
The previous owner cut half of it away and also cut a hole in the upper left hand corner to accommodate a thermostat.

As far as the shop owner was concerned  "she had ruined it".




I covered the hole with a home made Tussie Mussie




Large and small, they all fit




Mostly Capodimonte from Italy




A very old piece of Meissen




My very talented friend Renie painted these boxes




Small pieces of Capodimonte are not expensive.  They are easily found on the Internet




Not much room left




Where would I have put my treasures if the  "Lady hadn't ruined it"
and therefore, I could afford it.




 Yes, gold is my color




I like color, I must be a Gypsy


What do you collect?
