My topic is going to be marbles. I have just started collecting marbles. I think they are very interesting and love things with color. They are easy to decorate with. I just put them in jars around my house. I am going for the ‘country’ theme. I am a new homeowner and I am eager to make my house a home. Even though marbles are neat to look at their history is interesting and each marble is named something different. Since I am collecting marbles, I would also like to know how much they are worth. Many times I will go to an antique store and they will be over $20 dollars for a small baggy of marbles. I want to know what makes them so expensive and the most rare kind. When you are collecting something, I think it is good to know the history, the present and the future of that item. I am excited about this project. I can’t believe I said that! That rarely happens! Thanks Annette for letting us do something that means something to us.
Hi Kristi,
I like your idea of marbles. They really have been around a long time. I see lots of magazine articles about decorating that include marbles. I too am a collector so I was immediately intrigued by your topic. Good luck!
