I remember hearing a saying a few years ago that two of anything is a collection. As I have become more and more involved with collecting I have pondered that saying, and how true it is. It is fine to have one of something. It may be a very nice something, but it is hard to consider it a collection. So, ask yourself, what do I have two of? Is it two silver dollars? Two Hot Wheels cars? Two PEZ dispensers? And, once you have two, why not three, or four, or five of them? You are a collector. You know it, and you love it.
The other night I noticed that my daughter has three miniature snow globes lined up on one of her shelves. It’s a collection. It is her snow globe collection.
That same night I noticed that she had three princess/fairy dolls lined up on her dresser. They are a collection. They are her princess/fairy doll collection. 
I was looking at a few of the things I have in my office and realized that I have two wooden puzzles. I believe that constitutes a collection of wooden puzzles. Maybe that saying is true. Maybe two of anything is a collection.
I also have one glass insulator. It’s kind of cool, it even has its original post, but I only have one.
Some people have large collections of glass insulators. Here’s a link to a glass insulator that is very expensive, and beautiful. But my one insulator doesn’t really make a collection. In fact, I was thinking about just throwing it away, but then I thought, maybe someone else would like it. Maybe someone else has a collection of glass insulators and they might want mine. Any takers?
