Being the little punk rocker that I tend to be, I collect a staple of what is commonly associated with the dress. I acquire small pins from friends and shows and other people. I have a glassful of bands I enjoy and various political messages. My favorite is a pin for the band, _Bad Religion_ that a former member of the band gave me. I think I have something around 30-40. ::scratches his head:: Maybe I should count them… ---

My partner and I collect vintage postcards from the 30s, 40s, and 50s. We especially like the ones that are printed on linen card stock like [this one](http://www.fortworthhistory.com/hoteltexas.htm). Our goal is to eventually display all of our hometown (Fort Worth) cards on our website, but it’s taking a lot longer to pull together than we hoped.
