WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I love to collect matches because they are a physical marker of a special place, and unlike a coaster, napkin, or stirrer, they actually have a real practical value.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

I love the vintage ones I have found at flea markets and garage sales because I love their graphics the most.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I enjoy them every time I light a candle, and sometimes I just empty out the big bowl I keep them in, line them all up, and stare at them with love.
