Status: offline 		Since the thread of "Strange Hobbies",*looks around* I started thinking about what people collect. With so much stuff out there, what are some of your "strange" collection of collectables?
I collect Bellows, figures anything that has to do with blowing would be ideal for me :)
I do look forward to reading what others collect, even if it's just dust.
Cheers!

But if it's tangilbles you're interested in... old Apple Computer hardware. I've recently given up all but a few pieces and I'm struggling with the decision to let those go.

Status: offline 		until recently, i had the world's largest & most eclectic collection of flamingos...i even had an old hairnet that was sold in an envelope with a flamingo on it...i have a flamingo tattooed on my left upper arm...unfortunately, there were waaaaaaay too many of them to display,so most lived in boxes in the closet...not long ago, i decided that if something had to live in a box in the closet, i didn't need it & began getting rid of them & lots of other stuff...

i also have a few Miss Piggy things, including her Guide to Life & i collected teddy bears with clothes on...my favorite one of those was Snoopy dressed as Boy George, complete with braids...

i have way more clothing than the law allows for one person, but i think that's more a fetish than a collection...just like all the sheets & towels, dishes, glasses & flatware i have a need to buy...no wonder i don't have room for the flamingos.....

My mother collects anything with cardinals, my sister anything with hummingbirds, and my other sister, those beanie babies.

Status: offline 		I collect fabric - has to be 100% cotton, dress weight - and usually really expensive

I also have a reasonably extensive collection of left-handed scissors - for obvious reasons.

I have a fair collection of wood that i picked up in an empty lot - its soft and easy to carve, and looks fabulous when sand papered smooth and oiled.

And right now i seem to be collecting parrots - i have 5 - an african grey, two green cheek conures, and two budgies.   Sir has catagorically stated that we have enough birds in the house!

Does a NASA flight patch count? If so, then I have one from the Apollo 8 mission.

Status: offline 		I mentioned in another post that I collect sad toys. I found the first one, a raggedy old rabbit,  in a pile of old dead flowers in a cemetery near my house.  I find them in flea markets usually.  A sad toy is a toy that is really worn out, a la the Velveteen Rabbit.  It can't be an expensive collectible type of toy, that precludes its being sad.  The nature of a sad toy is that it is unwanted. Collecting it is tantamount to rescuing it (I also have a small pride of rescued kitties).  If it costs more than $2.00, it's not sad.  I have about forty of them now.
