I've never been much of a collector (unless you count books) but I am talking about items that have no value except for sentiment or to cluster in decorative attempts. Lately I have found myself wanting to collect, collect, collect. Maybe it's because I can't. We don't have much room for anything but the basics and us. 2 humans + 2 puppies, we are at capacity in the Keebler tree house we call home. If I had more space I would want one (or a dozen) of these vintage globes. They are priced fairly well as I stopped in a thrift shop the other day in my neighborhood and they wanted 150 bucks for one of these beauties (which weren't as beautiful as the above). Yes, I do know that the first image is a photo by the talented Victoria Smith but with a small space, comes lack of walls to hang things. Oh well, this isn't forever (gosh, I sure hope not!). If you have space you can pick your globe up at Trampoline, I'm So Vintage, or High Street Market, to name but a few shops that have gone global...
