http://adventuresinaccumulation.blogspot.com/

adventures in accumulation is a blog about the things I love: thrifting, collecting, and home decorating. I'm looking forward to sharing the things I've acquired through the years. From time to time I'll also write about antiques, cooking, collectibles, handicrafts, history, homes, furniture, gardens, and just about anything else dealing with domestic bliss.
