One Of My Many Odd Collections



The pictures are pretty self-explanatory
Ummm, I started collecting Binder clips a couple of years ago. I am not obsessed, I just pick them up whenever I see them on the ground or under desks. There are a lot more than it seems, I just lined them up in size order. The smallest one is about 1/2 tall (excluding the metal clip part) and so far the smallest one I've ever found.
Enjoy. Or not.

Hey Alice, I love your blog - your posts are very clever! I am responding for two reasons - one is that I am anxious as well to see who they will cast as Edward and Jacob! I personally have feelings for both for different reasons - Edward is very enticing, among other things, and I am afraid my knees would turn to jello if I saw saw him (not for fear that he would eat me, though). On the other hand, I married a Jacob and wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. ;)

I love your binder clip collection post! As far as odd collections go, I used to collect plastic bread wrapper tags when I was quite a bit younger. I haven't thought about this for years, until I saw your post today. I laugh to myself thinking that there is actually someone else out there who collects odd things! The most embarrassing part to admit is that I swore that they would be collectors' items one day and I had them organized into groups of 10 and sorted by color. That way I could count them easily and see what color I needed to catch up on! Odd, indeed!

Love, Sis F

I heart binder clips, although I have managed to hurt my fingertips with larger ones. Of course I wasn't trying for pain, I just wanted to see how strong they--

Er.

The second picture is very soothing.

Binder clips are ingenious little devices.
I agree - the second picture IS soothing.
