I used to LOVE collecting stickers. Every time I traveled or visited some place, if they had stickers, I would get at least one. Over the years, I started facing a dilemma that I never truly faced when I was collecting other things like magnets or keychains: where do I put them? Continue reading →
@jedda Oh, you too? I had a huge collection of stickers at one point, but also, a large collection of pins too. I come from a family that loved to collect stuff like these because we traveled a lot!
@alexink Do you have a special place for all of the pins and stickers you've collected?
I've been meaning to write this post for awhile and your comment on my photo of my new pins yesterday on Mastodon was what inspired me to finally write it. So thank you! ☺️
@jedda After college I found a folder of stickers I had saved so long they lost their sticky. 😂 Don’t get me wrong I used a lot of stickers as a kid, but the “special ones” never lived out their purpose.
I buy stickers sometimes, but I really prefer patches. They are easy to cut off and sew onto something else any time you want. 💫
@sarahshotts ah I didn't consider the stickers losing stickies. Might have to post more journals for future writing so they don't go to waste lol.
I've considered patches but I wouldn't know where to out them. Do you sew on clothes you typically wear in general, or somewhere a little bit more decorative?
@jedda I need to write a post too. lol The stickers are mostly long gone. I started putting them in journals I wrote or stuck them to other stuff over the years. But the pins? I still have, I would say, most of them, as they're in a couple of large boxes in a cupboard. I use to have them on cork board on the back of a large wardrobe I used as a room divider. I covered the wardrobe in the cork boards and just stuck the pins up randomly, till, that is, I ran out of space.
Then I moved here, and now they're in the dark.
