Flavorwire is giving away a copy of Todd Selby’s new book The Selby Is In Your Place, a collection of photographs featured on The Selby dot com to whom ever has three odd collections that they would want to see photographic evidence of. Of course I freaked out and started listing off all the odds and ends I somehow collect and realized that my hoarding is why my room is such a mess. Ashamed and slightly forlorn I decided to list only collections that have four or more of a particular item. But before I go to Salvation Army and Goodwill to give them all the stuff I collect without realizing it that I didn’t even want to start listing, I have listed here for your entertainment the items I collect incessantly and ENJOY collecting. (Books, DVDs, magazines, shoes and art go without saying)

-Vintage Scarves (Dior, Oscar De La Renta, Burberry, Givenchy, etc)
-Cute Bars of Soap
-Tae Kwon Do Belts and Weapons (I used to teach when I was in high school)
-NARS Eyeshadows
-Garter Belts
-Bar Tools, specifically strainers
-Fabric (I have more fabric than I know what to do with, and I keep buying it!!)
-Tea
-Teacups
-Cocktail Hats
-Calligraphy Pens and Bottles of Ink From My Trip To Florence

Then I realized how badly I wanted the book and listed even more stuff…

-Cookie Cutters
-Mirrored Objects
-Pictures Of Street Art I See
-Business Cards From My Trips
-Vintage Gloves
-Gershwin & Cole Porter Sheet Music
-Perfume In Cool Bottles
-Tins, Especially Long Rectangular Box Tins
-Coins

Photographic evidence coming soon…
