Collections are the outward manifestation of a deeply-felt principle or emotion, and are quite different than ordinary garden-variety ”clutter.” One man has a love of photography and takes pictures of everything. Another woman buys more shoes than she could ever wear, to make up for having hand-me-downs as a child. Someone else might keep all of her mother’s old clothes and papers after her death. Whether we love hats, unicorns, or butter tubs that we “might use someday,” collecting makes us feel good — it fulfills some NEED in our lives. What do you love to collect?
