For all of you who are reading this series for the first time, it all started in April when I posted a pic of my some of my porcelain mugs on Instagram asking what my followers or other IG users were collecting. Since there were quite some responses, I decided to start this series inviting friends, and I do love the result of getting a sneak peek into my virtual and real friend passions and hobbies. Some images are a total surprise others not. All of them are beautiful! This time I am having friends over from Germany, Spain and Italy.
Thanks so much for having me, Gudy!
I’d like to share a collection I recently started but I am really excited about it since those are illustrated plates with designs from Lady Desidia (my favorite illustrator), one from Zara Home, onother from Abe the Ape and finally a design I have done myself (below right). I hope I’ll make this collection growing and can count in a future on a remarkable illustrated crockery.
About me and my blog:
Living between London & Italy, I’m an Interior designer & stylist and also co-founder and co editor in chief of Heart Home magazine, the UK’s first digital interiors/lifestyle magazine. I first started my blog Arianna’s Daily (formerly known as Arianna Interiors) back in 2010. My blog is a personal lifestyle destination about all things that inspire me. From Interiors to Travel, from Fashion to Food and all things that feed my curiosity.
Why Am I collecting these pieces?
I recently started collecting medicine bottles because they are beautiful accessories that I am immediately drawn to. Also as they are original pieces, each bottle has a history and a story, which totally fascinates me. It’s become a little addiction of mine and I just cannot get enough of them. They really do make the home that little bit more interesting.
You can see here former issues and there is a Pinterest board with all contributions.
Thank you , ladies, I so much enjoyed your pictures and little stories! Gudy, xx

Una sección que me encanta Gudy!! A parte de ver las cosas tan bonitas y a veces curiosas que coleccionan los bloggers, descubro a nuevos blogs!!! En este caso conocía a Maria Eugenia de La Bici Azul, un blog estupendo, pero no conocía a los otros dos, así que gracias!! Besos y buen fin de semana!
Thanks Gudy for having me on this series – a total honour :) x
Ari, I learned that medicine bottles can be blue too. I totally had the idea they were always kind of brownish. Will always think of you from now on when spotting any:-) xx
Thanks so much for having me Gudy!

I quite enjoy your “What do bloggers collect” series, Gudy. It offers a view into the variety of things people collect as well as an opportunity to “discover” more wonderful blogs to read.
Thank you, Sara, I am glad you are enjoying it. This series makes me happy too!
Lovely ladies and another great edition of what bloggers collect. Happy Happy weekend everyone :-)

How nice to see Anette here. Her IG is one of my favourites and I love the muted colour palette and those baskets!
How nice to meet Maria Eugenia with those fabulous illustrated plates!
Ari, I also didn’t know that medicine bottles come in these blue shades. They are gorgeous.
Another lovely edition of a great series. Happy weekend ladies x
All three collections are really nice but the photo of the baskets is absolutely amazing!
