odd collections

I like this image by London-based designer/illustrator James Joyce which is posted on Designboom today. For a long time, I saved bread ties -- the plastic square kind with the date stamped on them. I was planning to scan them in and do a t-shirt design, or some cool thing or other. Eventually I just threw them away. I should have held on to them; but when you move, your odd collections get sacrificed. Like my collection of sugar cubes from Paris. Sadly, I do not have them anymore either.
