Hands down The Little Mermaid was my favorite Disney movie as a child. Ariel had the collection. All her thing-ama-bobs and Dinglehoppers. I cant say that I have a collection like she did but I do have a few things that I collect to remind me of events, trips, and just the fun things in life.
I’m really not much of a collector of expensive things or big things. I like to keep it simple. So for me I collect post cards of the places I have been and I display them on a clothes line in my office. Not only does it remind me where I have gone but it inspires me to continue to dream and go places. This isn’t my wall but it does look something like this.
I also collect shot glasses. Small and easy to store if you get a trinket cabinet. I have glasses from 21st birthday, college graduation, friend’s weddings, career changes. I will be going out to buy one here soon now that I have passed the exams required for my Real Estate License. So excited to move forward. I will by another one when I sell my first house and when I buy my first investment property.
When I do have time I have a collection of scrapbooks. I love piecing together the people in my life I make memories with. Maybe its a theme but I just want to look back at the moments, a good concert, a family Christmas, a cruise to Hawaii. We are so quick to move on to the next that we forget to be thankful for the past experiences. I want to combine them, so I collect the images as I go. Maybe after I get my license and a few houses I will have sometime to create another.
That’s all I’ve got. Nothing crazy. Oh yeah and a stack of books that one day I might be able to read thru but does that really count??
