O! but your safe I live in australia so just a bit too far to come for a look see at all your great books. I collect vintage china, kitchenalia, yep! and old cook books, and lots of other "take my fancy" pieces. love the photos thanks for showing them.Pear tree cottage!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10056634124523395270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145651910402831492006-04-21T13:38:00.000-07:002006-04-21T13:38:00.000-07:00yeah I noticed you had the fireside cookbook which...yeah I noticed you had the fireside cookbook which I think is incredible Provenson work. I can't imagine a cook book like that being published now as some of the images of the animals would be probably considered in "poor taste". And its written by a top chef like Beard even. My wife recently co wrote a blender drink mix book that I was trying to get in on doing spots for but they didn't have the budget. Ah well, Helping out with the "research" was fun on that and I got to name some drinks like<BR/>the "fizzmopolitan".Drazenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06588169855921049801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145599139506883082006-04-20T22:58:00.000-07:002006-04-20T22:58:00.000-07:00nice collection.. mine is old camera's more specif...nice collection.. mine is old camera's more specifically old video cameras... take up less room than books, but they get dustier...<BR/><BR/>love your site.. dig your work..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145316062849693072006-04-17T16:21:00.000-07:002006-04-17T16:21:00.000-07:00I'm just drooling looking at all that stuff Ward. ...I'm just drooling looking at all that stuff Ward.

There's literally NO ROOM for collecting anything here. My apartment only allows for a small portion of my kitchy, weird toy collection. And as far as my cd collection goes (if you can call that a collection)...I'm considering throwing out all the jewel cases in favor of keeping just the discs, and what's uploaded into i-tunes. One nice thing about the South is having the space to collect stuff. But, I don't want to complain too much. It's still been an incredible move, totally worth it.JustMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301955517044392288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145067622391719062006-04-14T19:20:00.000-07:002006-04-14T19:20:00.000-07:00Disneyland is the passion, the history, the design...Disneyland is the passion, the history, the design, everything.

If you don't love it, ya got no business collecting it. Yours is the purest form of the art; you could give a damn whether or not those books have any monetary worth or ever will, because they mean something to you. I'll never understand those weirdoes who "slab" comic books in thick plastic and have them graded, and then hermetically sealed forever: do they even READ comics books? Do they LIKE them? Or are they hoping to retire with them? Keep on truckin', buddy.Robert Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18216484801391073449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145039130837620722006-04-14T11:25:00.000-07:002006-04-14T11:25:00.000-07:00I'm not much of an organizer myself, so my LPs are...I'm not much of an organizer myself, so my LPs are just in boxes and milk crates. We still haven't unpacked lots of stuff since we moved across country last year, so nothing has a permanent home yet (we're renting until we find a house to buy).<BR/><BR/>I don't get much opportunity to experience my collection in its natural state. Partly because we don't have space for me to do it, but mostly 'cause it's Christmas music and I don't like to listen to it outside of the holiday season.<BR/><BR/>But I have so much stuff that I am continually rediscovering things. And I have at least 100 LPs that I have never heard.... Lots to look forward to.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767191872191198020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1145031378308367192006-04-14T09:16:00.000-07:002006-04-14T09:16:00.000-07:00Hey Ward!

I think you have it right when you talked about how happy it made you feel to examine your treasures, why else would we collect. I also think it's super cool that you and Andrea have an attic to hang out in, I've never had one so it's a romaticized room for me.Abby Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769391338601110872noreply@blogger.com
