I've noticed that I started collecting something with out actually knowing I am doing it- which really is the best way to start collecting something you really love! I've started collecting antique/vintage silhouettes. I realised this when I was reading the current issue of Country Living... if you don't get Country Living you should! I looked for the article online, but it doesn't seem to be on their site yet.Basically it talked about grouping silhouette portraits to make a huge statement. It shows some beautiful mantles full of portraits!
Here are a few samples of what you can do with a simple silhouette...
