Question

19．Nowadays，most of us live a busy life．What do you do to keep yourself relaxed？Besides spending time with family，having a glass of wine with friends or reading a book，how about a hobby？
   Personally，I'm a collector．I like blue and white pieces the best---blue and white anything﹗Plates，jars，vases，cups，bowls---I love them all．Collecting items is like something you can't get enough of．You get one，and you want to have more．
   I find collecting to be a fun and inspirational hobby．In many ways，it's like a puzzle I'm never tired of solving．I look high and low for new pieces to add to my collection．I can often be found visiting Marshell's，looking over their inexpensive offerings．In fact，I found one of my favorite pieces there．
   I've mixed inexpensive pieces from Marshell's with more expensive finds．A lot of times，it's the piece I'm not looking for that falls into my lap； I find a way to make it part of my blue and white family．What I love about my collection is that when I get inspired，I can move them around the house，mix and match and make things look fresh and new．
Ever since I was a little girl，blue has been my favorite color．I think I got it from my aunt in Mexico．Some of my earliest memories are visiting her in Mexico and sitting on a chair in her kitchen，which had blue and white tiles（瓷磚）from the floor to the ceiling．I would spend countless hours admiring all the beautiful blue and white plates and shiny blue tiles around her kitchen．Once I had a home，I began to build my own blue and white collection．
