Vintage Washboard Collection

I have a thing with collections.  I like the thrill of the hunt. 

I have a globe collection.  I can no longer cram any more globes in the office so I needed something new to collect.  I turned my ever short attention to vintage washboards.

I’d pick them up here and there from antique stores. I had 3 or 4 just hanging out in my laundry room closet.  For like the past year.  Or two.  I picked up a few more this past weekend to finish out the ol’ collection.

I’m using these boards as a reminder of how far the human race has come in terms of laundry.  I need to appreciate my lovely washer and dryer. 

Wait, who am I kidding?  Laundry is still horrible.  At least I now have a pretty collection to look at.

Ike just wants to know if his blanket is clean yet.  He gets cold at night after his recent hair cut. (He also wasn’t into modeling. He had just woken up from a nap.  A nap in my blankets.)

Now I need something new to collect.  Suggestions?  Are you a collector?
