Wonderful links and video interviews posted within thanks AN...how wonderful it would have been at that first exhibition to have them all explained by her.

Where/how would you keep/store over 300 pins, most of which are not exactly small?

ETA: Forgot to say the Faberge lot wouldn't be too shabby either
