Collections

NOT UPDATED MUCH YET - MOVING IT OVER TO A NEW SITE SO CHECK BACK! Pictures and some links may not work yet.

Here is a list of my various collections.....Some of which I share with my husband. If you collect the same things, or just want to comment, I'd love to hear from you. 

We moved in Summer 2013 to a 2 bedroom condo in Hawaii, so we gave away or threw out a lot of things, and put a lot in storage. In the 8 years we've lived here in Arkansas, we haven't done much about displaying the collectibles. Now we're moving to NY, so we don't know yet how much room we'll have. Stay tuned!

I have many records (which I keep partly in an old console TV and partly in my entertainment center), tapes (which I mostly keep in little wooden drawers-under the curtain in the pictures here), and cd's (in the cd holder).  I got rid of many of these when we moved, but I have most of them on MP3, anyway.
