What To Collect


Collections are a great way to decorate your house or office. The key is to choose something that you love and be creative!

If you love sports, find unique items that are sure to get attention. Cards that are given away to fans at sporting events can be placed in a mat and framed to create a nice wall hanging. Bobble head dolls, autographed items, and stadium giveaways can be grouped together for an eye-catching display. Pins can be attached to a vintage baseball cap and tossed on a little used chair for a nostalgic look.

Vintage toys make attractive decorative pieces on mantels and entertainments centers. Large plush animals or dolls can sit in a child’s chair in the corner of a room. A stack of old games are not only fun to look at, but a fantastic way to liven up a boring party! Old yo-yos in a glass bowl make an unusual decoration in the center of a coffee table.

In my six years of selling, I find that vintage and rare items are so much more appealing to my buyers than new items. (And by rare I don’t necessarily mean expensive antiques or gold coins!) I sold a vintage 1970s Yellowstone coloring book to a former Park Ranger and I can’t tell you how many e-mails I get telling me that the old toy purchased from me was a childhood treasure thrown out many years ago while cleaning house.

Pick something that has special meaning to you and use your imagination. Just about anything can be found on eBay and used as decorative pieces at home or work. Life is short. Surround yourself with things that make you smile!
