Hi there everyone I thought I would play along with another fun challenge over at Pip's today. The theme this week is My Collection which was chosen by Kate over at Fox's Lane. So I thought I would share with you my childhood collection of rubbers/erasers. I haven't added to it for a long time but I love it because it holds many memories. My Nan and Pop travelled overseas in the 80's and brought back with them lots of erasers from their travels which I remember quite vividly.
I won't tell you exactly when otherwise you might just guess my age (lol) but I thought I would share the photo of myself with my collection when they first arrived back from their travels. I can't remember what started the collection but I enjoyed finding unusual erasers, pretty ones and ones that smelt nice too! So thank you for stopping by and looking at my collection and I hope to see you again soon.Smiles Catherine xox
love the BEFORE & AFTER shots..and i reckon your rubber collection's pretty cool too!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You have'nt changed much - can see the "you" in there! Great collection Catherine, and a lovely memory.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I had kept my rubber collection. Those 80's ones were the best! My daughter has started a collection but the ones these days just aren't the same. I LOVE your collection.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great collection, there are some rubbers in there that take me back to my childhood - especially the icecream cone & the doller bill...
ReplyDeletemee too!!!!! I had an eraser collection and treasured it so much.
ReplyDeletegreat collection Catherine, they look so perfect.
I frikkin adore that old photo! How cool to be able to do that comparison shot...!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! Before and after pictures, awesome....and brave! xox
ReplyDeleteThe juxtaposition of your two photos is fantastic! How lucky you are that you kept your rubbers all this time.
ReplyDeleteI kept mine too, though my collection is much, much smaller. You can see them here if you care to. xx
Terrific collection! & I can so relate in the not doing anything with it but the memories it holds make it hard to let go..... I have that with my sticker collection! lol Great pics.
ReplyDeleteI have a Stamp collection that hasn't been added to in years. Love your before and now photos too.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as i scrolled down to your images i thought 'PLEASE let those be erasers!' And they are erasers! Oh I bet they smell ace! I really love this collection so much! Excellent excellent excellent!!! x
ReplyDeleteYou have taken me back- couldn't you get great erasers back then.
ReplyDeleteAnd like Pip- I thought of the smell too!! I love your two photos. Brilliant
Beautiful collection that looks like it'll be passed down too ... isn't this fun?
ReplyDeleteOh wow... what a great thing to collect! I always loved erasers as a child. To be honest.... I still want to go into every Hello Kitty store I come across! I still love erasers, pens, pencils, etc... !!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a flash back! I collected erasers when I was younger too! I still have them tucked away somewhere. I always loved the smell and the colours. Thanks so much for the walk down memory lane.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection. I used to collect them too when I was small, but threw them out :(( I really wish I hadn't now ofcourse. I used to have the cat ones like yours and the piano!
