Most people collect and display something in their lives.
It might be a collection of family snaps stuck into an album, or holiday souvenirs arranged on a mantelpiece,assembled and displayed without any thought of being a "collector".
Other people form collections for a specific purpose: old masters for investment or memories "collected" on tape to preserve a changing way of life….
Over the years I have collected many things including 16 years worth of first day cover stamps.
BUT tell me, why did I collect and keep all the baby teeth from my two boys……
All to be found in this beautiful trinket box….
Do you have any strange collections ? ? ?

i have been collecting in jars the hair that i loose from brushing … since 10 years!
one day i will make an object from it…
I’ve also kept all my kids milk teeth they are in special envelopes in my jewellery box.
My mom actually saved all my brother’s and my teeth. I found them in a box I made her for mother’s day… it was how I figured out that the tooth fairy wasn’t real 😉
Mmm. That grosses me out just a little bit. I don’t think my rock collection is in the same league!
I think that’s really cute and I like the box! I collect pestle and mortars, ornamentsa and books!
OMG, I also have my 3 childrens teeth! To be honest I’m not sure where they are but now you have reminded me I’m going to look for them..
Just hope I actually do still have them..
Wow Sally! that is quite a collection!!!
Well think of it this way. Milk teeth are goinjg to be a limited edition collection
I used to collect things but then I got married and such foibles were no longer tolerated. The only thing I’m allowed to collect now is music because we can both enjoy it, and I do have a lot of CDs.
The solution to our future has turned out to be … iTunes. All the music I need without the shelf-space requirement.
Anne.. the trinket box was a leaving gift from the school in St Athan where i was a dinner lady…… stop laughing 🙂 can you imagine me looking after kids
That is one scary collection :-)…mind you I think I do have one or two from both boys somewhere, but not in a beautiful trinket box like that.. !!!!
I do have to admit, you are the first person I’ve heard of that collected baby teeth. Looks like you had to some money with a collection that big. 🙂
