I have been a collector since I was a child.... mostly aimless & pointless collections. Nothing very valuable, not too trendy, and rarely in mint condition. Just a plethora of "stuff" that I've had fun adding to through the years. If I have at least 3, I consider it a collection. I'll be posting a different collection daily, Monday through Friday, and spotlighting some other marvelous collections I've discovered on the weekends. I hope you stop by often!

COLLECTION #69: Old Matchbooks
Somewhere in a drawer or box is the rest of my collection! But these are a few of my old matchbooks, most from my parents home, where my Mom kept a glass jar next to the fireplace filled with matchbooks from various places they'd visited.
I love the two I have from the famous Brown Derby Restaurant in Los Angeles... my first big job after college was at a large LA advertising agency (Grey Advertising) and our offices were right across the street from the old Brown Derby, which was actually shaped like a derby hat. (It has since been demolished).
A couple of years ago, I created a layout about some of my match collection, here it is!

I used to collect these too. Not sure what ever happened to them but it would be fun to see them and the places I've been to and have forgotten.
