If you haven't been over to The Altered Page lately then head over and see my answer to today's question:
Show and Tell.
SHOW us one photograph of the object or objects that you collect and TELL us how your collection(s) came to be and/or what they mean to you. Feel free to include any anecdote about how you might have found/bought any of your treasures.
Keep watching for more questions and check my answers along with MANY other artists in Seth's edition of The Pulse.
