I collect Roosters they started out only in my kitchen now they have spread to almost the whole house. And I have really good porcelin dolls that I have a computer room filled with. :)



sabis -> RE: What do you collect? (7/23/2005 2:42:21 PM)

i collect beads, baubles, fabric, notions, anything hands-on-crafty in the making of jewelry or clothing... but it's more a 'I know I will want to make this into something, someday...' rather than a 'I need to have this in and of itself, to enjoy collecting.'

i collect the works of Robert Anson Heinlein and a variety of other authors... Spider Robinson, Jacqueline Carey, AA Milne, Laurell K Hamilton, Charles de Lint, Sharon Shinn, Iris Johanson, Kay Hooper... so many books, so little time...

my mother decided when I was ten that I needed a doll collection, so she started one for me and continued it for about ten years. I have it in boxes in the closet, and yes, they're neat and all, but it never really 'clicked' for me.

if I had the financial freedom to collect anything I wanted to? I'd fill my home with Waterhouse's paintings.... and I'd spend ridiculous amounts on sex toys and lingerie. :-)

MissLeona71 -> RE: What do you collect? (8/16/2005 9:19:27 AM)

hmmm, trying not to collect dust :) I collect elephant items. When I was pregnant with my toddler I went to South Africa to the Knynsa Elphant Park and fell in love with Elephants. They are beautiful animals.
I also collect fridge magnets from the states and countries that I have been to.
My husband and I seem to collect a lot of movies. he has a lot of little nik naks from his niece and nephew. W/we both love books.
and My two year old collects toys, toys and more toys.
Oh yeah, W/we collect toys also :p



RosaB -> RE: What do you collect? (8/16/2005 12:30:51 PM)

I collect shoes.

Also, I seem to have in common with a few here, bells, elephants, and books are some of my favorite things to collect. Just call me a pack rat.



clover -> RE: What do you collect? (8/16/2005 12:51:29 PM)

I collect books, all different genres...if I read one I absolutely love, I try to find it leather-bound or at least some sort of special edition to save in my little library. I'm really rough on books when I read them, so I try not to touch my most expensive ones.
I've started amassing an odd collection of little gnomes. I don't care about who makes them or what their value is. All I care is if they look like the travelocity gnome, who I have an inexplicable fascination with.



fastlane -> RE: What do you collect? (8/16/2005 1:20:52 PM)

There are two things that I collect: Bears, since forever....keychains...i have so many now and no keys to put on them lol


Oh yeah, keychains are a fav of mine too. Anytime I go someplace I have to add one to my collection. One time a step-grandmother got me one from New Orleans, not knowing what to get me, and I think she was surprised when I got so excited over it.

I collect odds and ends of coinage ($2 bill, the Bicentenial quarter, state quarters, a few bits of forein currency) nothing all that valuable at this point in time... just something to do I guess.

And stuffed animals. ALthough my cat has been stealing the little ones I get as presents. *sigh*



luvdragonx -> RE: What do you collect? (8/16/2005 11:09:49 PM)

Cobalt bue glass. I don't have the patience to collect anything else[:D]



ragdoll -> RE: What do you collect? (8/16/2005 11:23:13 PM)

Neat thread!... and some of you collect such neat things, it makes me want to collect'em! (like elephants, carebears stuff and stamps) ^_^

...right now i collect Stickers... and Faeries (figurines, paintings, magnets, clothing, jewellery -whatever-)... i guess i also kind of collect plushies... but i don't really consider that a collection kind of thing. ~

NakedOnMyChain -> RE: What do you collect? (8/17/2005 3:25:13 AM)

I collect rocks and artifacts. I also collect books. And I'm into ghost hunting, so do all of the videos I have from recent years count?



MsStressed -> RE: What do you collect? (8/17/2005 9:44:59 AM)

I collect shot glasses and fridge magnets from different states and countries that I go to. I used to collect unicorns. I have a nice collection of stuffed animals.....trying NOT to collect anymore as I have no room left to put them.

bulletproof -> RE: What do you collect? (8/17/2005 11:48:59 AM)

dead toys. I have a doll head I found in the attic, and she has any remnants of toys I find. she has a barbie leg, a GI Joe arm, some game piece that's a creepy clown face, a tiny army man.

anything I find out on a walk, or at a park, she gets it.

yeah. I am that weird.



tade -> RE: What do you collect? (8/17/2005 12:44:29 PM)

I used to collect fish until one day I got one that grew to be over 3 feet long. Suddenly my collection was smaller and smaller.

We have a 2 month old son so we are amassing alot of toys (and not the kind we are used to. LOL

greeneyedangel -> RE: What do you collect? (8/17/2005 1:11:02 PM)

This is my first post and even though i am good with computers i can't seem to get an avatar up on here and have "vanilla" taken out from under my name LOL Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)



greenie -> RE: What do you collect? (8/17/2005 2:12:52 PM)

i collect bunnies of all kinds, stuffed, figurines, pictures, wall decorations...anything and everything bunny except the real things, though i have had a few real ones. i even have a tattoo on the back of my shoulder of 2 bunnies frollicking in grass.



solivagus -> RE: What do you collect? (8/18/2005 7:51:45 AM)
