As a packrat, I collect everything but, no, no one item that I specifically collect

I love your apron collection. Very pretty. They add nice texture and color.

My favorite way to display items like this: instead of hooks, use drawer pulls/knobs. They probably would have been a little more expensive than your hooks but they add an additional layer of texture and visual interest to a display. It’s easy to mount them — buy a bag of special two sided screws; one side has machine threads which screw into the drawer knob and the other side has wider self-tapping threads that can be screwed directly into wood or into a plastic anchor.

I collect antique kitchen gagets including rolling pins….I use the smaller pieces to decorate the back-splash….I put the rolling pins in an old wine rack.

I collect books – loads of books, but those are easy to put on bookshelves. I also collect bees and beehive related items that I display on a shelf in my kitchen. In my dining room I showcase all my chocolate sayings and Hershey tin collectibles.

The aprons are just lovely. They add a nice homey touch!

That’s how I roll I think my neighbors get a kick out of them. I think I freaked my nieghbor out one day when I walked out in a tank top and short with an apron over it. I didn’t think anything of it, but he gave me the strangest look. I think he might have thought I was naked under there HA!

All I collect is books! Your aprons look so cute though…I really need to get one–or some! An apron would look just fabulous over my tank top and yoga pants, ya think?

I love aprons too, but I only have two. I have plans to sew some more though.

I collect books and I really need a better way to store them. I only have one over crowded bookshelf and then some boxes in the attic. I also collect crafting supplies which is more of a bad habit. I have a seriously unrealisitc perspective on how much I can actually use.

It seems I keep reading about people who love aprons. I only have one and never think to wear it.

I’ve collected French/Eiffel Tower stuff for years. Until our son was born, we had a “French room,” something I had dreamed about. While preparing his room, I decided to pare down my collection, so now my favorite pieces are scattered throughout the house.
