  3. Things. Paper art stuff. What it really boils down to, though, the most treasured things are the things given to me by my girls and my dear friends (like you!)

  5. Hej Heidi

    I didn't quite jump in the dumpster ;-) ALMOST lol!

    These baskets are lovely, so unusual I have never seen wicker baskets painted...so intricate...is this something particular to Alaska?

    I love enamelware and TINS! I have quite a collection...oh and anything RED, in particular clogs and bags HEHEHE!

    Have a great weekend Heidi

  6. Hi Heidi,

    I have just been ooohing and aaahing over the photo's you took during the weekend. That view you have is amazing. While I sit in my appartment in town you have all that space and those mountains around you. It really is amazing!

    Like you I collect baskets as well, but I also collect china. Especially romantic china with flowers or polka dots.

    Enjoy your evening! The days are getting longer in Holland at last.

    Lieve groet, Madelief

  7. Those baskets are sweet - don't think I've ever seen them before. Are they gypsy baskets - like painted tinware? I used to collect honey pots, but now I'm selling them on :)

  11. The baskets are really pretty, I can see why you like collecting them.
    I seem to collect lots of pieces of furniture that I insist I will paint and do up, although a lot of it is cluttering up my poor garage... Em x

  12. I really like your baskets. You could say i collect anything vintage from the 50's and 60's well anything that talks to me and says please take me home you know you want to. But if i think about it its 50's drinking glasses, 50's frosted glass wear and vintage evening bags ;-)) dee x

  13. Hello,

    I´m from germany and collect many things too. I have never seen baskets like this, they are really adorable.
    Because I love old things, I collect old porcelain and porcelain cake spoons with floral decor, old metal tins with floral decor, old enamelware, books, brooches from the fifties, pastel-coloured MES from the fifties and some pretty things more. I think that beautiful collections make a home warm and cozy.

    much greetings from germany,
    Tanja

  17. Lovely baskets, Heidi! Beautiful collection ;o)
    When I was a little girl I collected pencils, after that I collected moose (but the most people here don't know the different between a moose and a reindeer..so I stop the collection because I got to much reindeers *smile*)..
    Now I collect...napkins ;o)
    Have a nice day!
    Groetjes,

  19. I was just researching collections the other day! I love them when they are decorated well. Vintage cameras, antique postcards, and skeleton keys were among my fav!
