Interesting article about collecting at Remodelista.
'According to Martha Stewart Living alums Fritz Karch and Rebecca Robertson, collectors can be neatly divided into 15 personalities. In their new book, they devote a chapter to each type, along with the astonishing results when pack rats put their finds on full display. The two–who happen to be seasoned hunter/gatherers themselves–note that too often beloved objects are squirreled away out of sight; the authors’ mission is to show how rooms come alive when dozens of pressed glass plates or vintage toasters or found feathers are masterfully brought out into the open.'
I think David and I might be considered 'containerists'. Because there is not a wooden box we will not buy and collect. Containerist collectors gravitate toward vessels of all sorts; this one built a pyramid out of Hermés boxes–a display that doubles as storage. Photograph by Dana Gallagher.

My Mom had a good start on a coin collection from all of her travels. Of course I have my sand collection.
