I used to collect pissed off X girlfriends. Now I like little miniature lighthouses.
 
I collect the wings I have pulled off of common household flies. I'm up to 3 sets now.

Hey, I just started!
 
I collect dust...some of it is old enough to be very valuable now.
 
Shylady, I collect dust too. Maybe we could trade? I'm in PA. PA dust might make your collection more valuable?

I also collect egg cups. And for the life of me, I have no idea why. :)
 
I'm one of those strange people that collects spoons. I even have a case to hang them in for all the world to see.
 
What do I collect? Way too much stuff! I need a bigger house.
 
Hey! TX dust for PA dust sounds like a great trade. It should make both collections worth more.
 
I collect Molas, which are threaded embroidered patches of cloth made into pictures. They are made by the Kuna Indians of San Blas, Panama. I travel to Panama frequently (just got back from a trip last week), and I get Molas every time I go.

I also get these tiny little sculptures carved from a Puros Nut. The inside is soft and called Vegetable Ivory. The Kunas carve lizards, turtles and whatever else they find worthy of carving into these little acorn sized nuts. They are quite beautiful. I have about 30 of them now. I just got a turtle last week.
 
Swarovski silver crystal...which has resulted in my own fine collection of dust as well.
 
Fantasy stuff, books, dolls, dust. Living in one of the dust capitals of the world, I don't have dust bunnies, I have dust monsters.
 
Generation 3 Corvette stuff. Anything I can find. And Starwars (Iv-VI) stuff too, though not nearly enough of that.



And then there's the piles of papers I have stacked up all around the place, I'm sure they're important really.
 
Literature on Arthur Pendragon--books, movies, comics


It all started with Disney's "Sword in the Stone" when I was but a wee lass...
 
All things fantasitc... I've only live in this apartment for a year and its almost full of little pewter statues.. I have something like 200 now, most of which are still at my house rather then here with me.
 
I collect....

Penis pictures... I don't why, but people keep sending them to me! Let's just say that it's blackmail for future reference. *evil grin* How do you like THEM apples?
 
Umm candy wrappers left over soda bottles..lol jk

Frogs, Native American, baby name books :p, and a lot more junk..oh wait, I have two Hope-less chests filled with dishes. LOL! I like buying glasses and cups and plates! Shrugs
 
"Its some kinda' Ducks Unlimited Hell In here"

Decorative waterfowl decoys and real ones that have become decorative.

Every once in a while Coke cans.
 
First edition Oz books and Scandinavian embroidery patterns for Christmas ornaments. Have made 60 ornaments so far.

I Have An Entire collection in a pretty little box:) It gets bigger every week!

Are you a fan of Howard Hughes or just really in need of a hobby.lol
 
Porcelain, bone china and parian ware tea cups and saucers. Tea pots. Books. Cobwebs.

My cobweb collection is stunning.
 
I collect antique lockets. The older the better, and preferably with yellowed photographs or trinkets in them. I love going through old curio shops and finding a locket with baby pictures or sweetheart pictures in them. Ohhh! And I love it when they're engraved.

I have quite an assortment.

I also collect alligators.
