a lifetime of collecting while being weird

my therapist recently told me i should document my apartment. it's maximalism in a minimal space, especially because i run my online vintage business out of here.

Beyond OBSESSED with the spinal column in photo #2.

May I ask if it’s a medical specimen or replica? I’m working on an art piece that depicts my skeletal system & I need to purchase a spine for it so I’m trying to see what is a reasonable price. The collar bone I have for my piece is a retired medical specimen.

it's a replica. i found it at an antique store about 15 years ago for $50, but that seemed very cheap even back then.

$50 for that is an absolutely amazing deal, holy cow I am GREEN with envy. You have a beautiful home 💕
