Ok.. this is sad but I will admit this.. I have a HUGE container of beanie babies in my basement, they haven't seen the crack of dawn in years. I used to collect cabbage patch dolls, then I used to collect those garbage pail kid cards, stamps, but I really don't collect anything now..
I was thinking I could use some of my boredom/down time with collecting things. My aunt has a HUGE radio collection that she says will be passed on to me when she's gone, I know she wants them in the Smithsonian..so I might just put them there, I don't need hundreds of radios. I was just wondering if anyone collects anything? I guess my pen fetish could be a collection.. I can't get enough Gel pens.. I even saw this article online about different collections.. Someone had a snoopy collection Will anyone fess up to collecting things? stamps? coins? baby teeth? Monique http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-13493 (this should be the correct link to the collections, I hope) |

I recently freed my beanie baby collection from their imprisonment in their plastic tote box. They're now collecting dust on my bed's headboard.
I also collect yarn, crochet hooks, knitting needles, crochet patterns and dog statues. Also, in my jewelry box, I have a nice collection of Irish clauddagh jewelry. (a clauddagh is a traditional Irish piece of jewelry, usually in the form of a ring. It's a heart that's being held by two hands, with a crown on top of the heart) I have two clauddagh bracelets, maybe a half dozen earrings, four or five rings and about 5 pendants. I love to collect stuff!

Lets see I have a have a salt and pepper shaker collection. Probably over 200 now. Having been collecting them since I became an adult. I also have several baby crissy dolls. I still have my original doll with box and clothes from when I was a kid. She sits on the bed in my extra room.

I collect hummingbirds, just about anything that has to do with them. Last count I had over 200 different hummingbird items.
And Beanie Babies! What to do with them? I don't even remember how many I have! I also have a thing for windchimes but I'm weird, I don't have them hanging outside lol before I got married I had 14 of them hanging in my bedroom. Everything is now packed in boxes and in storage If I had that $30 million maybe I could buy a place big enough for everything! lol Right now though the only thing I've been able to collect are dust bunnies and bills!

Every year, my dad goes with me to Hobby Lobby or some other store that sells ornaments, and he buys me one or two new ornaments for my tree. I love the blown glass ornaments.

Scalps. But I can't chase 'em anymore.
Wood boxes, all from different places I've visited, or that I've made myself, or cool cigar boxes. I have no idea why I do it, I just love 'em! I love making them too, and I'm not even good at it.
