WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I collect matches because I think they can serve as a reminder or memento of a certain time or place and the covers/boxes have always drawn my eye.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

Some of my favorite ones include the Concorde Air France matches, the 1,000 Stamps commemorative Princess Diana and Prince Charles matches, and the matches from the Plumeria Beach Cafe in Hawaii. The Concorde matches were from the days when my dad used to fly with them and The Princess Diana matches my mom has held onto since 1981. The matches from the Plumeria mean a lot to me as my family went on vacation to the Kahala in Hawaii every year of my childhood and some of my best memories were formed there.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I like to keep my matches on display and use them as decor for my home.
