machin, truc, chose

A collection is a gathering of elements. I don't agree that a collection is any group of more than 3 things. I think the group has to mean more (or less) than its parts to be a real collection.
I'm interested the things we accumulate which have no real utility. Most items I collect have some potential function (art supplies, clothing, shoes, etc.), but their organization or quantity suggests I'm not keeping them around to be used. Clearly, the act of collecting is fulfilling a psychological need.


my collections:
-yarn
-fabric
-thread
-books
-shoes
-threadwaste
-friend's hair
-pompoms
-abstract knitting/crochet
-bike-themed
-religious kitsch
-vacuform packaging
-music
-vintage sewing patterns
-small display cases
