Firstly is Kit from Curly Frizz who shares her beautiful collection of old vinyl records! As a fellow record collector (purely of the casual sort—I mostly check the thrift shops to see what they have for a dollar!), it’s always fun to see what sorts of music others collect, and perhaps find some new-to-me titles and musicians to search for!
Kristen at Kristin Makes has what is perhaps the most intriguing collection I’ve seen in this tour yet! Pebbles she collects on visits to various towns and spots. As much fun as collections of manmade objects can be, there is something so beautiful about natural objects that remind you of a time and place you visited.
Reagan of Lil’ Vintage Homemaker is one stylish, vintage-lovin’ gal! She shared her beautiful collections of vintage hats and gloves, as well as some inspiring images of how she has worn these pieces out and about. I especially love some of the large, 50s hats she has!
Clare of Magpie Makes shows off her lovely collection of vintage jewelry pieces, as well as a beautiful little seashell box that was once her grandmother’s. I loved seeing what pieces she had inherited, and some of the stories behind them! A very beautiful and special collection!
Blanka at Minor Swing of O’Sullivan’s Girl caught my eye right away with her Beatles memorabilia collection! My sister is quite a Beatles fan, so perhaps I have had it ingrained in me (after years of hunting down Beatles records at thrift stores) to always take notice when I see something along these lines. She also shows off her fun collection of beer mats (coasters for us in the US)—so neat!
Renee of Nana Nay’s Garden shared so many of her collections—it was hard for me to pick which to picture! (But just having been thrifting today and on the hunt for dishware, you can guess what won!) She shows off her collections of old photos, Pyrex, dishes, stamps and cookbooks (love!). So fun!
Kristen of Summer Sets In showcased her collection of newer, but simply charming and beautiful, pottery. Each is unique in it’s own way—and I love all the soft colors that Kristen has picked for many of the pieces. The elephant teapot is my favorite!
Rebecca of Tales of A Wannabe Seamstress has the most lovely collection of vintage cookware! She says that she has lots of midcentury pieces, but adores the colors and patterns of 70s pieces too (me too, Rebecca!). Lots and lots of amazing patterns and colors in this post—prepare for a visual feast!
Next up is my Sister at A Two-Bit Jeremiah with her collections of rubber ducks and vintage vinyl—both of which are thoroughly her! We often have gone hunting for old records when she visits and thrift stores (and be sure to read about her neat finds at a garage sale last summer!). The rubber ducks are probably my favorite though—also because I look for them when SH and I travel! (They’re just plain adorable too—who can resist a rubber duck?!)
Ashley Louise at Yammering Muse shared her beautiful collections of singing figurines (be sure to click through—they are so charming and sweet!), Scottish bits and pieces, as well as the darling pins pictured above. I adore the pins—but also because I have a soft spot for Scottie dogs; I couldn’t resist using this photo!
Be sure to stay tuned for the fifth and final installment in the Cherished Collections Tour tomorrow!
