This was back before the internet and ebay.  Collections like this represented years and years of weekends searching and scoring in flea markets and tag sales.  A collection was really a hobby of sorts, and I thought it would be cool to have a fun collection one day too.  Then I got older and the sport of the hunt seemed to have waned with the onset of the ease of e-commerce.  Just recently, my past desire to acquire has been reignited by these charming images from my latest design crush, the brother duo of <a href="http://dougandgenemeyer.com/about" target="_blank">Doug and Gene Meyer</a>.  Meyers' bright and quirky vignettes have me rethinking...maybe a vintage lunch box collection, or fashion illustrations (<i>in the kitchen!</i>), glass match strikes, so many options!
