I thought I was running low on collections until I was rummaging around in a cupboard for a headband recently. Not something I wear frequently, due to the headache factor. I wore one last week because my hair needed washing and it didn’t feel right to wash it and […] Read More
In addition to my scarf collection that hangs like a tapestry above my bed, I have an abundance of shawls and sarongs. When I opened this basket of treasures recently to prepare for summer, I found one still in its wrapper. Even though I don’t wear many of them often, […] Read More
In addition to my previous rock collection, I have another grouping of rocks that I picked up on trips, along with shells and bits of bark and other seashore and forest treasures. The problem is I can’t remember which shell came from which beach, or which rock from which trail. […] Read More
I collect gem stones: rose quartz, amethyst, celestite, aquamarine, selenite. Others I will have to look up to recall. The rock with the beads is a gift from a friend from Huston. I have given a few away to my nephew who was a budding geologist when he was younger. […] Read More
After my kayak trip, I’m heading to the Okanagan to visit family. I will need a sunhat. Discovered that I have a collection of these as well. I just bought the floral cowboy one, so maybe I can part with the big straw hat now as I rarely wear it. […] Read More

I left the batteries in it too long and they exploded. Despite many attempts to clean it out […] Read More
I have a lot of collections in my bedroom closet. Aside from flip flops, there are the summer shoes. Sandals, canvas slip ons, flats and wedges. Some suitable for work, some for dress. Some reminiscent of trips: to New York, to India. The latter ones I never really wear, but […] Read More
We used to call these summer shoes thongs, but of course that term has been usurped. I’m a flip flop fanatic and wear them all summer long. That has resulted in flat feet and plantar facsiitis on occasion. I have flip flops for all purposes and in all colours. […] Read More
