Thank you so much for your interest, first of all. This single-mom (me) appreciates you supporting small businesses. Good for you! And your hair looks amazing today. Did you lose weight?

I’ve been a graphic designer for over two decades and as much as I love working with my clients, I have always wanted to do my own project. I just wasn’t sure that that project was. And then the pandemic provided this quiet, introspective moment where I actually the time to think and explore something new.

And then the realization that even though collecting art is expensive, collecting smaller pieces, isn’t.

It’s this hit of dopamine I get when I see a gorgeous matchbook that I’m on the prowl for.

My collection has taken over a few rooms in my home - thank goodness they are small masterpieces, or else I’m not sure where anyone would sleep.

If you’re interested in finding out more about the dark and obsessive art of the matchbook collector, here’s a place that is the gateway drug: Rathkamp Matchcover Society.

I hope you enjoy!!!
