Yippee! I have a new collection. Armillary spheres. . I’ve always liked them and finally splurged and bought myself one a couple of years ago when I got my $10.00 bonus from shopping at Goodwill. It was white and a little rusty in spots fit in nicely with my globe collection and my shabby chic style.
I was content with just the one. But then I found another at a price I couldn’t pass up; so now I had a pair of them. It’s not really a ‘collection’ unless you have 3 or more; so once I got that second one, I REALLY wanted a third one!
My dear friend and thrift shopping buddy got me this smallest one for Christmas!
Is it not THE PERFECT size to round out my collection??? I do not think I could have found a more perfect one if I had tried. Now it’s officially a collection of armillary spheres!
Here’s the other special treasure I got for Christmas, to go with my Santos (faux and repros!) collection. Isn’t she sweet?!?
And here she is in her place of honor amongst my others.
Did you start any new, or add to your collections over the holidays?
P.S. If anyone knows the correct plural of armillary PLEASE let me know! I tried looking it up and can’t even find the original word. sigh. *** Asked and answered (thanks Pam!) and edited accordingly.
