not so much a fan of maps as i am of GLOBES. they make such wonderful home decor and are definitely conversation pieces.

every globe that i have now is outdated, but still beautiful!

Love old globes too-- the older the better.  Vintage maps and globes give such soul to a room.

I like maps and globes, but for some reason have never had any as home decor.

The odd thing I really like are antique barometer's.  I dont have any but have been checking them out.  The antique ones are fairly expensive.  I might just settle for a replica.

I dont know why I like them, I have no real "thing" about weather and dont know anything about how a barometer works but I want one.

Hey, I know exactly what you mean, @Imaoldhippie --  I really like those too, and would love to have a vintage one!

@Oznell   Great thread!!  Thank you!!

The Christmas movie map-I have never heard of almost all the listings.

People who think "Krampus" is their favorite movie-something wrong on several levels.  Yikes!!!

I also like maps-used to love geography in school.

The only thing I do not like about maps is folding travel maps.  LOL

The old maps are so interesting, too, considering the tools used and the limitations of travel.

@Oznell - I've always loved maps, and it's getting harder and harder to keep up with the changes in the world. My old high school globe sits on top of the bookshelf in DS's bedroom!

So some years ago DH and the kids got me a bag for Mother's Day. I'd never heard of Patricia Nash, and it was a short time before she came to QVC, but this is the one they got - because Mom likes maps!

I was stunned by that Christmas movie map too, @Cakers3 ,  till I went back and found it was based on people's fave holiday movies of THE LAST SIX YEARS!

Why would anyone think there were ANY good Christmas movies in the last six years??   Good grief.

Ditto--  it is a horror show when I try to fold road maps -- they furl and unfurl like awkward, billowing windmills as I try to fold, and inevitably have unsightly bulges they never had before when I'm through....

What a wonderful, enviable gift you received, @beach-mom !   Your family is so thoughtful and they know your preferences and partialities, which is priceless!

Maps are fascinating!  I especially love the really old ones!  I once had a handbag and wallet that had an old word map all over them.  If I recall correctly, I purchased them fronm HSN.

@Oznell   I love maps, too, and the ones you show are great!  Thanks!!

I think the redhead hotspot in Russia is from Georgia (Russian Georgia).  

I like the maps that show how many countries can fit inside Africa.  I don't know how to post the image, but the countries that can comfortably fit inside the African continent include the US, China, India, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany - and more.
