Inspiring items to collect<\/h1>\n

1. Editions of your favorite book<\/h3>\n

Is there anything more comforting than cozying up with your favorite story? These days, there is often a variety of beautiful editions of beloved titles to choose from. We even carry gorgeous editions of novels such as Little Women<\/em> and Emma<\/em>! Browse here.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Vintage tea ware<\/h3>\n

Adventure to your local thrift store and take a peek at their tea ware collection. Because each piece is pre-owned, it comes with its very own story! Display them in a curio cabinet or use them daily for extra whimsy.<\/p>\n

3. Costume jewelry<\/h3>\n

Sometimes it’s fun to get dressed to the nines for no reason at all. What fun it would be to collect brightly colored earrings, statement necklaces, and bangles!<\/p>\n

4. Seashells<\/h3>\n

We love the quote, “Seashells are love letters in the sand.”\u00a0<\/em>Bring a tin bucket along on your next beach outing and pick up a few “love letters.”<\/p>\n

5. Paper weights<\/h3>\n

There are so many unique and ornate paper weights available. You are sure to find them at your local antique store or a quick Etsy search.<\/p>\n

6. Postcards<\/h3>\n

Did you know the very first postcards date back to the 1860s? There is over a century worth to collect!<\/p>\n
