Thinning out my personal collection

Thinning out my personal collection

Thinning out my own personal collection or for better word “collections” talk about having way too much! I don’t regret gathering so many beautiful pieces over the past 58 years, as I age, it’s becoming easier to part with them. So here’s the first group of my own pieces I photographed today. I’ll do a few separate posts describing each item, along with measurements etc… The glass display shelves and entrance are nearly completed, looking forward to stopping replacing items within my apartment. In the meantime, if you would like some info or would like to make me an offer on anything, don’t hesitate to text or call me. Call or text Jamie 0415555998
