My Brick Collection. This is the eighth rack of bricks, mostly from outside south Wales with examples from north Wales, Gloucestershire and miscellaneous bricks given to me or found over the past twenty years. The farthest travelled is the Fritsch Holzer sent to me from Australia (sixth row down on right). This rack was first constructed out of scrap timber ten or more years ago but refurbished in the summer of 2016.

A portion of my collection. Mostly syrups, mostly glass, mostly EAPG, some depression, some vintage - with a few miscellaneous items.
what is silly mimi collecting this time? the answer is vintage light bulbs! i find the filaments to be fascinating :) the obsession started with the giant 14" light bulb from poetic home's etsy shop and seeing another vintage light bulb collection on modern50 (i love this website. they have a wonderfully curated shop!)
vintage light bulbs (i only collect ones in working condition) from etsy and ebay, porcelain lampholders scavenged from urban ore for mere pennies!
Numerous handsomely bound late 19th.c and early 20th.c, half or fully polished calf and morocco bindings by Riviere, Sangorski, Root, Morrell and Tout. Many titles with original wrappers bound in, all edges gilt and tooled compartmented spines. The books were purchased as an original collection at the begining of the 20th.c by George Lambert MP (1866-1958). Lambert put them away in his ministerial black tin box in 1947, and wrapped each volume in white linen, where they remained until the box was eventually opened in 2008 for the contents to be sold at auction. A catalogue valuation of £4,000 - £6,000 for the set with box included.
These are various dolls and action figures that I have been preparing for a a new doll drama. Meanwhile, I am finally back to working on Young Dolls In Love! This will probably the final season at least for now so I want to wrap things up!

The Peggy Guggenheim Collection, a modern art museum on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro sestiere of Venice, is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, an 18th-century palace, which was the home of the American heiress Peggy Guggenheim for three decades. She began displaying her private collection of modern artworks to the public seasonally in 1951. After her death in 1979, it passed to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which eventually opened the collection year-round.

Peggy Guggenheim Collection
Bronze / Bronzo
The Peggy Guggenheim Collection is a modern art museum on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, and is one of the most visited attractions in Venice. The museum was originally the private collection of the American heiress Peggy Guggenheim, who began displaying the artworks to the public seasonally in 1951.
After her death in 1979. it passed to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, which eventually opened the collection year-round. The collection is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, an 18th-century palace, which was Guggenheim's home.
Collection
The collection is principally based on the personal art collection of Peggy Guggenheim, a former wife of artist Max Ernst and a niece of the mining magnate, Solomon R. Guggenheim. She collected the artworks mostly between 1938 and 1946, buying works in Europe "in dizzying succession" as World War II began, and later in America, where she discovered the talent of Jackson Pollock, among others. The museum "houses an impressive selection of modern art. Its picturesque setting and well-respected collection attract some 400,000 visitors per year", making it "the most-visited site in Venice after the Doge's Palace". Works on display include those of prominent Italian futurists and American modernists. Pieces in the collection embrace Cubism, Surrealism and Abstract expressionism. During Peggy Guggenheim's 30-year residence in Venice, her collection was seen at her home in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni and at special exhibitions in Amsterdam (1950), Zurich (1951), London (1964), Stockholm (1966), Copenhagen (1966), New York (1969) and Paris (1974).

Building and Venice Biennale
Entrance to Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Palazzo Venier dei Leoni
The collection is housed in the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni, which Peggy Guggenheim purchased in 1949. Although sometimes mistaken for a modern building,it is an 18th-century palace designed by the Venetian architect Lorenzo Boschetti. The building was unfinished, and has an unusually low elevation on the Grand Canal. The museum's website describes it thus:
Palazzo Venier dei Leoni's long low façade, made of Istrian stone and set off against the trees in the garden behind that soften its lines, forms a welcome caesura in the stately march of Grand Canal palaces from the Accademia to the Salute.
The palazzo was Peggy Guggenheim's home for thirty years.
In 1951, the palazzo, its garden, now called the Nasher Sculpture Garden, and her art collection were opened to the public from April to October for viewing. Her collection at the palazzo remained open during the summers until her death in Camposampiero, northern Italy, in 1979; she had donated the palazzo and the 300-piece collection to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1976.
The foundation, then under the direction of Peter Lawson-Johnston, took control of the palazzo and the collection in 1979 and re-opened the collection there in April 1980 as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
After the Foundation took control of the building in 1979, it took steps to expand gallery space; by 1985 all of the rooms on the main floor had been converted into galleries ... the white Istrian stone facade and the unique canal terrace had been restored and a protruding arcade wing, called the barchessa, had been rebuilt by architect Giorgio Bellavitis. Since 1985, the museum has been open year-round.In 1993, apartments adjacent to the museum were converted to a garden annex, a shop and more galleries.
In 1995, the Nasher Sculpture Garden was completed, additional exhibition rooms were added, and a café was opened. A few years later, in 1999 and in 2000, the two neighboring properties were acquired. In 2003, a new entrance and booking office opened to cope with the increasing number of visitors, which reached 350,000 in 2007. Since 1993, the museum has doubled in size, from 2,000 to 4,000 square meters.
Since 1985, the United States has selected the foundation to operate the U.S. Pavilion of the Venice Biennale, an exhibition held every other summer. In 1986, the foundation purchased the Palladian-style pavilion, built in 1930
Management and attendance
Philip Rylands was appointed director of the collection in 2000.[18] As of 2012, the collection was the most visited art gallery in Venice and the 11th most visited in Italy.
2014 lawsuit
Following the gift of works to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation by Hannelore and Rudolph Schulhof of Germany in 2012, works collected by Peggy Guggenheim were removed from the Palazzo and placed in storage to make room for the display of the new works.
The Schulhofs were honoured with inscriptions of their names alongside Guggenheim's at both entrances of the museum. Their son, Michael P. Schulhof, has been a trustee of the Guggenheim foundation since 2009.
In 2014, seven French descendants of Peggy Guggenheim sued the foundation for violating her will and agreements with the foundation, which they say require that the collection remain intact and on display. The descendants also claim, among other things, that the resting place of Guggenheim's ashes in the gardens of the Palazzo have been desecrated by the display of sculptures donated by Patsy and Raymond Nasher nearby and by the use of the burial site for fundraising parties.
The lawsuit requests that the founder's bequest be revoked or that the collections, gravesite and signage be restored. The foundation calls the lawsuit meritless. Other descendants of Peggy Guggenheim support the foundation.

The name and graphic inspiration derives from James Beard award winning restaurant owner Celina Tio’s former boarding school in Pennsylvania, where the mascot was a moose. “Collection” was a homeroom-type gathering time for students.
