A few weeks ago I shared photos of my globe collection and talked about wanting to share more of my collections. Today I’m bringing you one of my favorites, my collection of medical models. I wish I had a better reason to share as to why I started but I’ve got nothing. I really just like how they look. If you haven’t noticed my apartment has a whole doctors office / middle school vibe going on.
working on it. Just like globes, and well, everything else, I try to be
thrifty in my purchase. I rarely shell out large chunks of money on a
piece. The piece I paid the most for (one hundred dollars) is the life sized torso I purchased from Jerry’s Junk. Considering it’s one of my very favorite possessions I’d say it was a solid purchase! Honestly, when I think of my visit to Jerry’s Junk I regret not buying more from that guy!
My medical dude, who I somehow never named which seems like a very
Kaylah thing to do, is missing some pieces, that I hope whoever owns
them treasures as much as I treasure the piece I have.
Here are a handful of photos of everything laid out on my coffee table. I thought this would be a more epic shot when I set it up but really it turned out to be a mish mash of body parts. Still, it shows a few things that weren’t so easy to see in the photos of the items in their place, like the model of the baby in utero – which is what I’d consider to be one of the strangest items in this collection. Although to most people all of this is probably very weird…

*Literally* the collection of my dreams! I definitely miss being able to score big at estate sales – I've only been to one in New York and it was disappointingly expensive (like most things here). I need to make some thrift store/flea market pilgrimages back home!
I bet! Sales are even different here in Cleveland than what I'm used to in the middle of nowhere so I can't begin imagine what ones in New York are like!
I love all of Mary Roach's books! Great collection!
Last year I went to a retired science teacher's estate sale and came away with Woolly Mammoth hairs and a jar of rattlesnake teeth.
Isn't she the best!? I love her books. Can't wait to get my hands on her newest one.
That's awesome!! What an awesome score.
[…] mig lidt utryg. På den anden side er jeg vildt fascineret og kan ikke lade være med at kigge på hendes samling. Det er sådan en sær interesse, og jeg er vild med at hun virker helt ligeglad med om andre synes […]
