What about you?
Jnana's Red Barn 
Copper items, vintage pens/pencils/office stuff, old books, vintage sock monkeys.
How many monkeys do you have???
Four 1930s. The monkeys I keep in my bedroom as part of the décor. My collections are not big on purpose. I keep them small. I call them collections because some of these are not useful items, except for the copper items which I use in the kitchen and candleholders … that I actually use. At one point I collected all kinds of copper items, but got rid (sold) the non useful items and left only the ones I could use. The pens and pencils I also use, and the office stuff as well. The books I read, and hold on to the precious old ones.
