Pins

1 hobby. 34 years of “work”. 2833 collected items.

It all started in the early 90’s with my father who brought me the first five pins when he came back from a trip to France. I was about ten years old. Ever since he kept on bringing me pins from all over the world and so did my mom too. Friends and relatives gave me some, i both others myself and what do you know, one day i woke up having a great collection with a diversity of themes from Disney pins, NASA, Formula 1, South Park, Rotary Club, AC Milan pins, limited edition or designer ones, religious pins with Saint Paraskevi or Saint Demeter, to rare pins from European Union’s Police or like the one that i received from the designer Tonino Lamborghini himself, the son of the great automobile creator. I even have a pin with my own portrait. Pins from Venice, New York, Australia, Spain, Lebanon, South Africa, Mexico or Tanzania, you name it, i have a pice from there. What can i say… i didn’t necessarily choose this hobby. This hobby chose me and it soon became a hobby to put it close to the heart.

In the following images you have a selection of my favorite pins and few of the finished cork board frames. If curious, you can check out the full collection on my Facebook page. Have fun.
