I collect: Heart-shaped rocks, Home Grown Friends statues, Precious Moments statues, old perfume bottles of dried flowers (xD), and those little dissolvibale bath oils that come in shapes xD

I collect those tinsy painted woooden bobble head turtles. I adore them!!!!! I also have a bit of an obsession with candles

that's not even half of them eithor like i said that's an older picture there are even more i LOVE those little turtles!!!!

I collect teddy bears.I have a bunch of them!

I don't have an extensive collection of anything really.

I did start to collect musical snow globes, but it's been over 10 years since I started and I only have 3

I have a full spoon rack on the wall in the kitchen, but I didn't set out to collect them. I found a couple of spoons that my mother once had and I kept them. One year a guy I was going out with comes home with a wooden spoon rack in the shape of the Crest of Manitoba. I really had no use for it but he suggested that I put those 2 spoons of my Mom's on it and hang it up. So I did. LOL

That rack sat like that for like 5 years or so. He and I broke up and a few years later I moved into an apartment in the upstairs of a house and the lady who owned the house lived on the main floor. She went travelling the world for an entire year and every place that she went she brought me a spoon for my spoon rack. She filled up my rack during that year of travelling. I have no intention of "collecting" anymore

The closest thing I come to a real ongoing "collection" is small kitchen appliances and gadgets. I LOVE kitchen stuff.

I collect snails, all types of materials, sizes and funtions...My favorite are my snail piggy banks, and my crystal snail ring dish.

hehe I have to dust them so I'll get them out tomorrow and get a few pics, most of my horses are in storage though, safer for them there, not much room in the condo.

I start a thread tomorrow with pics just for you

Pittsburgh Steelers stuff!

I don't really collect anything but for birthdays and every christmas, a family member (it varies every year) gives me a pig. They know how much I love pigs and they always find one.
This is my pig from this year's birthday - I saw it and I fell in love with it - it is a money box.


I also love retro stuff so it matches me well.

I collect Wonder Woman comics, action figures, and other stuff. I also have a small collection of fairy statues, and related to that a (hopefully) growing collection of Jim Shore Heartwood Creek Tinkerbell statues.

Tricia

i dont really collect anything , i kinda do have alot of old guns, and stuff.
but that is about it.4

I seem to collect cats, does that count? Honestly, I love anything dealing with dragons, mythology, fairies, all that good stuff, and I do have a good collection but it is still in storage. My husband collects shot glasses though. We have 4 shadow boxes filled and need to get another one. But, they're kind of cool because there is a story behind every one of them. Although, some of the stories I may not want to hear!

I collect rocks. I like agates, but also have just plain rocks from all over the world. My friends bring them to me when they travel. (we don't travel much)

My favorite rock is an anhydrous agate. It's a rock with pre-historic water trapped inside. You can see it if you hold a flashlight underneath and move the rock a bit to see the air bubble in the fluid. It's really neat.

I like geodes, and crystals, like amethyst and such. I just love rocks.
