walter benjamin has an essay about collectors, which is just the right think piece on this topic!
I like that the clocks are not displaying time. They are purely aesthetical.
A friend of mine collects vintage & romantic looking tea cups. I think she does not display them though.
here a pict. of the nicest collections one could start:
I can also see myself collecting antique lamps!!!
and last but not least you can mix different objects and collect by size, age, color etc.

So, what do you collect?
Keys!
Keys!
Ah, interesting. Keys represent the ability to open and close doors. I wonder what doors you are planning to open ... ;-)
I intend to just create some random keyholes and have people wondering what they open--
it's for the person that asks "What does it open" to imagine what lies beyond that door !
:)
anyway, that's my plan.
Currently they are all in a box :D
Great idea. I guess you could find some old keyholes at a scrapyard to build a really nice display.
And as long they are in a box no one can use them to open doors they are not supposed to open. ;-)
