Emma was an avid collector. At one time or another she collected coins, stamps, feathers, rocks, beads, jewelry, Beanie Babies, Barbies, Pokemon cards, and nutcrackers. By high school she had a rather impressive collection of instruments: a recorder, a lap harp, a mini steel drum, 2 flutes, a piccolo, a clarinet, a sax and a guitar. She had amassed a rather impressive collection of hats and ties and even had multiple trench coats, a signature fashion statement of hers.
I remember a time when Emma was having a conversation with someone she had just met. She was telling the person a little bit about herself and mentioned that she liked collecting things. “Oh, what do you collect?” her new acquaintance asked. “I collect collections,” she replied succinctly.
