"Look At This Stuff, Isn't It Neat? Wouldn't You Think My Collection's Complete?..."

About 2 months ago, I gathered up all the little hooks and knobs and finally hung them in the bathroom. I love my little collection. Some of them are just from Hobby Lobby, a few were found on a roadside junk sale along a highway in Idaho, one was a gift, one is a broken sink knob...they all make me happy!
Every time my mom visits, we hit this little boutique downtown. We always find something we can't seem to live without (have you seen my paper towel holder?) which is why I only go in there when my mom visits-I'd be broke if I shopped there all the time!

Here are the treasures I purchased this time:
They are perfect, and every time I see them I will think of shopping with my mom and a 2 week old Corbin.
What I love most about my little collections of old crap is the story/memory of where I found each of them, or who gave them to me. I am now wishing I'd saved those bird nests to put under a glass terrarium greenhouse thingies on the counter top. As I threw them away last week, I thought to myself, "I just KNOW I am going to think of the perfect thing to do with these once I don't have them anymore!" Oh well!
At a different shop I found this little candle holder for $2. Yay. I think I'll fill it with birdseed rather than put a candle in there.
I'd like to find some old bird prints or something to finish the room.
