evolution of a collection

It starts with two...

And becomes many...

I adore tin.  I also adore vintage seasonal.
Combine the two in old tin cookie cutters, 
and a collection begins.  

I keep Rubbermade bins in the basement labeled by season, holiday.
Each time I find something, it is added.  I often am surprised when I
open a bin to change out decorations and find a small village of one item.
Such was the case with tin shamrock cookie cutters.  One became many.
They just come out in March!


However, I do keep out a bowl of hearts & stars all year.


What are you currently on the hunt for...what is becoming a collection?

I love your collection, Kari...it's fun to have goodies to search for when you're out and about! My favorites would be the hearts and stars, too!

I've gone from a 5 bedroom parsonage to a two bedroom, very small house. I have had to stop collecting. :O( I still have boxes of stuff at the parsonage and I have no idea where they are going to go once they are moved down here. I may have to just collect herbs and flowers outside! :O)

I LOVE old cookie cutters and have way too many of them, I think. lol It is my hope to start sharing some of my collections with my kids (if they want them). Love shamrock cutters and only have a couple of those.

Kari, ahhh yes, it's time to change to springy thoughts, like GREEN things and greenery ... oh where, was that box I so neatly labeled "springtime"? Your thoughts have sent me in search of "spring"... I assume that I'm not alone on that...

Kari,
