Well...I was looking around my home this morning and thought I needed to show you more of my collections. Okay, should I say...Part 2...I guess I may now have shown everything so I wanted you to see that I REALLY do collect a lot of different things. And...Yes I Know I have a lot of *THINGS*, ...I am such a visual person...my true artist within, so that is how I rationalize it! LOL
Close to where I live, in Ann Arbor, Michigian is a very wonderful well kept secret. There is this wonderful place called Treasure Mart. Treasure Mart is in an older home in the middle of a downtown residential area that are mainly college housing/apartments. It is 3 stories full of home items of every kind. My dear sweet friend Susie introduced me to this wonderful place. We take many day trips there and can spend hours sifting through each floor, looking for buried treasures. Many of my current items (my pottery) that I have started to collect were from here. These treasures are brought in from all over the area and left on consignment. The best part....the longer they stay there...each month they start discounting the item by 10%...so you could find something that has been sitting there 6 months and get 60% off its original price. That's when you know you have found a really find a good deal!

Love your collections, Lorena! The blue and white is so pretty in that big cabinet.The little table with the pottery items and the GWTW lamp...I have the very same lamp! The flowers are probably different, because they look hand-painted, I don't know. Don't you just love it!

Hi Lorena, I love all of your collections! I also have the porcelain shoes and purses and demi cups/saucers. I started collecting small things and now have moved on to bolts of fabric and furniture. LOL
