Do you collect?

Source

If you follow me on twitter you might have seen my call outs to people who collect to get involved with a little project I'm working on for LOTS. My call to you is to ask yourself if you collect anything a little different? Do you want a space to show off your little collection, feature on LOTS and tell people all about it?

You all know about my random obsession for the vintage compact but I'm looking for bloggers that also collect. Be it perfume bottles, buttons, china dolls, toys, postcards, old books. You name it, old or new I want to know about your collecting habits!

If you do collect and you fancy getting involved with writing a piece for my blog get in touch! I'm looking to provide a slot for us collectors to talk about what we collect, how we got into collecting, tips and a little look into what we have. The depth and the involvement is totally up to you I just want to give you the space to share your passion! Just get in touch and I'll send you an overview of what I'm aiming for - but I'm giving you the freedom to write it in your style. And just maybe we'll inspire someone else into the collecting world.


If you want to take part or want more details, you can leave your contact details below, email me at lo_ts@ymail.com or tweet/DM me. If you already got in touch via twitter I'll be emailing out things hopefully within the next day!

p.s have you entered my 500 followers give away?

  6. I have nothing productive to add as don't collect anything (except bills haha!) but I just wanted to say I love the idea, and would love to read the feature if you got it going. Maybe it will inspire me to start my own collection of something!! :) x

    1. Had a lot of interest so hopefully I'll get some posts back! One of the reasons why I wanted to try and do this is because, like you say, might just get someone else interested in collecting and I think a lot of people are very quiet about what they collect so here I want everyone to get it out in the open!!

  7. I love old coins and piggy banks, but aside from a shilling and one old piggy bank I bought from a car boot sale many years ago I've never started a collection, but definitely thinking of starting! I do have a large collection of running medals though!

  8. I don't collect anything terribly interesting... shot glasses and magnets from places I've been. And coffee cups, I guess.

  9. Oh I have so many collections of many many vintage things!! The main ones are Vintage children's hankies and vintage pinnies. But I do have large collections of hats, bags, purses toys,and vintage dolls dresses. Saddness I lost so much of my collections when our shop was demolished in the earthquakes. This included a large collection of slips and petticoats I started collecting when I was a teenager.
    In fact sweet I am a crazy squirrel who loves to many things. Eeeeekkk
    Love v

  12. I don't collect anything major like one particular thing but I collect 'memoirs' of stuff me and my boyfriend have done, train tickets, cinema tickets, gift bags, etc. I actually keep it all in a gift bag haha, I suppose that's just a bad habit of not throwing stuff out! Cute idea, look forward to seeing what people collect xxx
