Collecting Paperweights
Collecting paperweights can extend beyond the thrill of acquiring new and beautiful pieces of art. Your collection willinspire everyone around you to develop their own interest in collecting as well. During my teens, Aunt gave me a vintage paperweight every year for a birthday or a christmast gift. Before very long, I shared her life-long interest and love of glass. Paperweight collecting can be a rewarding hobby as well as a sound investment for the future.
How to begin:
This doesn't have to be an expensive hobby. There are thousands of paperweights that are available for ten dollars or less. But the first rule of any collection is always: Begin withwhat you love!
Paperweights can be found in almost any size color and shape. I have a fascination with the color blue, so many of my paperweights are various hues and tones of rich deep or light blues. Then too, I prefer rounder shapes and collect that shape more frequently. So start with color and shape. If you love something, it doesn't matter what it's worth, does it? Start slow. Take your time
