We're also highlighting one item each day that we find particularly
interesting - something that's very unusual!  Check it out!

appreciate, the feedback!

It's always fun to see what other people own and treasure! Although we can't
put the pictures in this newsletter, please visit our Facebook page to view
the images and learn about those items.

Please let us know if you'd like us to highlight one of your favorite
collectibles!

Here's an interesting store from Darlene A of White Rock, NM: "As a little
girl growing up in rural Mississippi, I had little money and even less
knowledge about collecting, but it must have been part of my DNA.  I started
carefully looking at the gravel in our driveway, collecting the pieces that
looked pretty or unusual, and putting them in an old purse my mother gave me. 
Years later, I saw used Limoges trinket boxes for sale in a shop in France.  I
could only afford to buy one or two even though they were very reasonably
priced.  They were so delicately pretty, and it was tough to leave the others
behind!  This began my collecting of trinket boxes of all sizes, styles, and
materials.  And, yes, I still like gravel and rocks!"
