Five Questions to Ask When Starting a Collection

By , About.com GuideNovember 21, 2009

Follow me on:

"The secret behind the best collections in the world is that they all stem from a passion. You don't just wake up one morning and decide to start collecting, say, cookie jars, especially if you have no personal, spiritual, or artistic connection to this object."

From The Fine Art of Family comes an interesting article about starting a collection. Although collecting is often is an unconscious decision (when starting), some folks do think about it ahead of time.

Run these questions through your mind the next time you find a treasure that makes you want to have more!
