Sometimes I think I collect everything haha!!
But my most recent obsession has been collecting vintage magazines, newspapers, catalogues & postcards. I’ve been looking for primary sources for my research into the 19th and 20th centuries, and I’ve found that it’s those “throw away” items that really give you a glimpse at what people were actually talking and thinking about. Try as it may, a history book can’t give you this closeness of the past, you know? That FEELING of being there. And that’s what I’m after!
What about you? What do you gravitate towards?
