This has come down to me through my mother. She started it; she wanted 100 before she died. Two weeks before she died, I purchased 4 lamps to complete the 100. I am so glad I did! Now I continue and I now have 150. My goal? I don't have one; right now it is just a reminder of memories. I also collect "dice". For some reason I am enchanted by the different ones. Now I am not actively seeking out new ones, but when I find one different, I just gotta have it. A pair of dice old fashion earrings is my favorite. Well, I collect “miniature lamps”.

My husband is the collector and drives me crazy with all his junk. He rents 3 storage units and still hogs most of my closet spaces with his "stuff" all useless old junk that he never uses. He likes anything form the 50's era and before, mostly he has old car parts and kitchen gadgets, toasters, egg mixers, old juicers, old sandwich presses-all not useable, most do not even work! He drives me nuts!
