WHY DO YOU LIKE AND COLLECT MATCHES?

I try to bring matches back with me every time I go out or when I come home from a trip—using them brings me back to that special place or moment in time. Occasionally I like buying them too, especially when they have a catchy tagline—next on my list are the ‘MISMATCH IS ALSO A MATCH’ ones from @cardsome2014.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE ONES AND WHY?

My favourite ones are the ones I’m yet to collect.

WHEN AND HOW DO YOU LIKE TO ENJOY YOUR MATCHES?

I store and display them all in vintage bowls or ashtrays around the house, and use them mostly at home to light candles. I love the smell that lingers in the room after I’ve lit one. Sometimes I find some in my coat pocket which makes the not-so-glamorous-after-dinner-ciggy a touch more elegant.
