Ben's keychain collection

Remember when I said Ben and I are in strict competition over who has the cooler key chain collection (I do!) well I finally got around to photographing his. I think we're going to have a Facebook comp to see who wins but feel free to voice your own opinion in the comments below. I think it's going to come down to who has more friends really :p

You can check out mine here.

I had this revelation the other day that Ben and I optimise the stereotype of little kids and their genders.  My favourite colour is pink and I like all things cute and as you can see above Ben likes swords and guns and tools and toy cars :p

The best thing that came out of all this (untangling his collection was certainly not) is that I've been wanting that cat keyring Ben got in Japan (for forever) and he finally gave it to me! (who ever said persistence never pays). I also love that it looks a little bit like Gremlin!

Key Ring Collection

For some reason I never got around to posting my keychain collection even though these photos were taken ages ago.   Ben and I often fight about who has the coolest collection but it's pretty obvious I do :P  Ben is keen for our collections to be judged but I don't think we could find unbiased judges because our two collections are super different his being mostly metal or wood and usually with a moveable part - very gadgety! Whilst my collection is definitely more on the cute and plastic spectrum.

The majority of keychains I collected whilst in Japan but I'm always picking up new ones - it's an inexpensive hobby :)

Ben often surprises me with one which I secretly (or not so secretly) love more than flowers!

and finally a picture of all my plush key chains which may be a little cheating but if it has a keychain it goes into the collection!  

Ben (who is back from work as of yesterday - hurrah!) actually taught me the trick to link all of your key chains together onto themselves in one big fun mess :)
