WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I love collecting matches because it’s a tangible reminder of special places I’ve visited. It’s so fun for me to look through my collection and be reminded of a yummy meal, a beautiful store, or a fun event.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

My favorite matches are the ones from @lediplomatedc. It’s my favorite French restaurant in DC and I’ve been going since I was a Junior in college. There’s a vintage store by my house called @misspixiesdc that has huge bowls filled with vintage matches and it’s my favorite place to browse on a rainy day.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I have matches everywhere in my apartment, the bathroom, near my candles, and stored in my desk in case of emergencies. I’m obsessed with candles, especially the Keap Wood Cabin one from @keapbk.
