It is so amazing to me to watch all the young 20-30 year olds buy things from the 1980s that I got rid of years ago. This whole vintage vibe blows my mind. Art that I would have paid someone to take away is now worth hundreds of dollars! I had a HUGE match collection.. so much that I eventually used the some of the covers and mod-podged them on the front of an old kitchen cabinet door and made a piece of art. 😂 I fished brand new kitchen cabinet doors out of a construction pile .. they put in the wrong color but they were beautiful solid wood going in the trash. I gave some away and a friend made a beautiful headboard out of them too. I think I finally got rid of the matchbook door last year. I was afraid it would end up at the land fill. These days someone probably actually wanted it!😂😂😂❤

I have a plastic console TV with pointy plastic legs and when you turn the volume and channel knobs, the S or P pops up out of the top of the TV. There's a red and white push lawnmower with wheels and as it rolls, the S&P "pistons" go up and down. Little red plastic toilets with S&P holes under the lids, ceramic pink flamingos and a black and white set of fat pigs humping I got from a truck stop in Georgia. There's about two dozen more like these. I have old matchbooks from the 70s and 80s but I don't still collect them and they're mostly from here (central Florida) and Cleveland (my aunt sent me a bunch she collected for me).
