stamps? canes? x-mas ornaments? dust? notches on your headboard? anything?

i collect penguins (mainly stuffed ones). got tons of the little buggers. i probably should put them out on display sometime soon.

i'm also starting to collect knives, which makes working at a knife store both fun and horrible torture. i mean, yay! i get to play with knives at work! but no! i have no money to spend on them, really!
 
I collect dust and display it quite proudly on all my shelves and picture frames. :)
 
Dust bunnies...I have some of the biggest you've ever seen.





Snowglobes and angles.

Damn it! I wondered who my competitor was in the dust bunny market! *sigh* And I was going to make a million bucks! Thanks a lot! Now tell me how to stop them from mating, will you?
 
I collect keychains. My goal is to get one from every state and some from other countries.
 
Anything Harley related. Old magazines, pins, parts, toys, pictures, models, posters, and movies. I prefer older material as my bike is a 1953 Harley. :D
 
DVDs and CDs. I have over 350 DVDs and over 2000 cds. I also collect wine, but my collection fluctuates wildly... :D
 
Plastic trophies, medals, etc.

Still playing little boy's games.

Well fuck...neither of us is going to make a million bucks now are we?

If I knew I'd tell ya I promise. Those little bastards get it on more than real bunnies do.
 
I collect Scotsmen. Ah well, maybe you should make that "a" scotsman. Wait, does naval lint count?
 
Black and white living things. I have two and 1/16th dogs right now.
 
books

I'm going to get kicked out of my flat, I think I'm causing the plaster ceiling of the room below to sag with the weight of the books.
 
My son collects coins, which I'm okay with.

My daughter collects shoes, rocks, sticks, lonely children, stray and not-so-stray animals, bugs, interesting clumps of dirt, and whatever else captures her mercury-quick attention *G*, and I'm okay with some of that, but if you could see some of the damn ROCKS in my house and garden lol..... and I always get rid of the extra children and animals <shudder>.

As for MY collections, I limit myself to books (since I've TIGERed myself out, lol). I just don't limit my books *G*.

Chickens

It started years ago when my dad worked for Tyson and it has grown since then. Trying to figure out how to combine my chickens with someone else's stuff when I remarry if a tough one. At least he is accepting of my chickens.

I started thinking and had to come back and edit ...

I left out my cookbooks ..... I have over 200, I love the ones put out by schools and churches as fundraisers. Those are my favorite.

Collectables

Other than the ever-popular dust bunnies, I have a hugh collection of giraffe items, including statues, picture frames, photos, socks, etc. Amazingly, I haven't come across a duplicate item yet!
 
i used to collect beer trays, mugs, openers, lights, coasters etc and then i started on my Indian collection of plates and statues, books, dreamcatchers etc. i would like to get more but i am rather limited to space and money now.
 
Junk.... and a lot of it.

"I also collect wine, but

That deserved being repeated. My wine collection flucuates too. Any ideas as to why???
 
keychains for the last 13 years
hats for 11 years
Just started on lamps last year
and... I collect people (don['t ask)
 
i collect Dragons and OU Sooner stuff. i love dragons i have about 20 of them all over my room and i have alot of shirts of dragons and OU. Sooners rock. the dragons are mainly pewter i have a few that are porcelin(i hope that is spelled right). my momma used to collect bears.
 
Okay, so I'm a big kid. I collect teddy bears... particularly Boyd's Bears... the ones with fur that looks sort of like shag carpeting. :rolleyes:
 
I have a large collection of comic books and action figures not dolls action figures dammit..mostly rare and hard to find stuff but i have so many of them that i cant keep track of everything ..
 
I seem to be collecting kids atm. ;)

At Christmas, I collect Ballet-based Ornaments. I have nearly enough to fill a small tree now.

I also collect the Pretty as a Picture figurines (You know, the pictures of little kids done in black and white, with little splashes of color, usually in romantic gestures)

And now, I am starting to have this thing for watermelons. My mother has always collected watermelons. They decorate her kitchen, and dining room. Well, mine was Ivy for those two rooms, and watermelon vines look damn similiar, and the red really compliments all the greeen. So now, when I see one, instead of grabbing it for my mother, I usually keep it. Makes her jealous. ;)
