I started collecting with flower vases after buying three Carnival vases as a lot in an auction because, at this time, collecting flower vases reminded me of Samantha’s old aunt in the TV show Bewitched who collected door knobs. I remember how funny for me was that old strange lady with her odd and useless collection of door knobs! So, leaving on a Sunday morning for a nowhere trip to browse in antique shops in search of useless vases was better for me than yoga or meditation!

In the recent years I traveled to the NECGA convention every two or three years but attend regularly our own club meetings in Quebec (Association du Verre Carnaval du Québec).
