If you ever come to my apt as a guest, no need to bring a bottle of wine. Just bring me a cool matchbook and I'm happy as a clam! That's true too. My husband and I have a big glass bowl of cool matchbooks from places we've been ..and haven't. Around holiday time I posted that you should stick a pack of vintage matches in a cool guys stocking- and I was serious.

that would be a dream come true for me! eek!
what a fun thing to collect! i love the idea. my husband likes to collect the paper/cardboard coasters you get when ordering drinks at bars or pubs...sometimes i feel funny stuffing coasters in my purse, but he calims to have an interesting art project to use them for! we'll see :)
secret- we have a glass bowl of those too.
is this too much info for you? we have a really modern home? i swear it's not weird looking.
Great stamp...
Best wishes from Buenos Aires...

wow, i didn't know matchboxes could be this stylish (i really like the bird one).
the vintage ones are awesome! my grandparents collected matchbooks and had tons of them on display in a jar!
these.are.amazing! love, love them.
Wow, have a good weekend too :)
I have a matchbook collection too! My favorites are from old diners in the 40's and 50's with menus printed in tiny letters on the insides. Coffee was a nickle! Spaghetti, 29 cents!
Collecting matchbooks -- what a fun idea!! I might have to steal that on from you. They would be super portable and interesting travel mementos.
ps. that would be amazing! I would love to be featured on Dilly Dallas!
Hi Dallas!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I LOVE your website and blog. Like woah. I am definitely the kind of girl who like chic, modern, and bold -- and you seem to encompass all of them :) Keep up the good work - I look forward to following your journeys!

I need to start collecting cool matchbooks. I love these vintage ones you found.
hey thanks for introduce me your blog.
;)
As a kid, my parents did that same thing...we still rifle through their collection and reminisce. I really should start one of my own!
Oh wow, you collect matchbooks? So cool! You have anything from Indonesia yet?
very cool. you should take a pic of your match collection so we can see! xo.
That is a great collection, very original, there is a brand here in mexico with paintings or traditional dresses,quiet cute, saludos from Mexico and thanks for your comment on my blog
So funny...I saw this post the other day and thought to myself, "Huh, I wonder how hard it is to find cool old matchbooks?" Then I was at an antique mall on Saturday, and they were all over the place! It's strange how once something is brought to your attention, you suddenly notice it all over like that, ha.
Why cant we get matches like these today? Love them.
I love these...
