My husband and I collect books. We both love to read, and hope to be successful authors of fantasy novels someday. I also collect fairies. I'm really picky, because I like them to look unique and not childlike.
I used to collect disney stuffed animals, and ANTIQUES! I LOOOOVE ANTIQUES!
When my house burnt down I lost everything. I had over $2000 worth of disney stuffed animals. One was a HUUUGE minnie mouse that was over 3ft tall.
Also had over $10,000 in antiques that was passed down by family members. It was an antique stove worth $6000, and an antique china cabinet that was soooooooooooo beautiful. I also had two antique dressers and an antique trunk full of everything that was left behind by my great greatgrandmother. I lost it all. It was the single most heartbreaking moment of my life. Driving up to where my house once stood and seeing nothing.
Then there was the collectable cat plates, had to ask hubby to stop ordering them because I was out of space. I think I have about thirty of them, some still in the boxes (in the attic).
I have a very strange collection of tea pots, which are about to be retired to the attic.
I have over 100 T Shirts, so I guess I am collecting those as well. The entire guest bedroom closet is filled with my soon to be "vintage" clothes.
I have a large collection of Laurel Burch cat jewelry and some of her coffee mugs and T shirts as well.
I used to have a huge collection over twenty boxes of Jello and Pudding which I finally tossed, if only I could be so strong when it comes to the clothes and shoes!
I collect Christmas ornaments, I have enough to decorate five trees and at least three houses. When my son moves out, he is getting at least ten boxes to take with him.
Right now, I am collecting salt and pepper shakers,pigs and police figurines.

ATM, I have mostly just the Disney waterglobes that play music and are based on their animated movies, but I am not limited to just those. The problem is they are so expensive. But the plan is to expand the collection at some point.
I also have a Harry Potter one, and fish. They're not Disney
. I love them, they are so pretty.
I had a small collection of the Disney mini-globes, but my girls kinda knocked the shelf off the wall where I had them displayed and they smashed. It wasn't good.
When I was little I collected unicorns, but they kinda went away.
I collect lava lamps, Betty Boop and Elvis figurines, concert posters, motorcycle and tattoo related stuff, and of course, cat stuff. And lots and lots of dust!
Back when we had extra money, I collected Collectible and Limited Edition Barbies, and Beanie Babies. Hubby has a HUGE collection of Star Wars toys, even though we had to sell a bunch when money was really tight. We also collect NASCAR die-cast cars of our favorite drivers, Dale Jr., Tony Stewart, Bobby Labonte, Ricky Rudd, Adam Petty (RIP), Richard Petty, Kyle Petty (Think hubby's a Petty fan??) and John Andretti.
KALEIDASCOPES!!!!!!! ...and books, I guess. I gave away most of my books when we moved into the RV, but we've recollected many, many boxes of them (all in storage).
But if I had a larger home, there are a lot of great things you guys collect! I especially love the water globes, too...
And Cassandra, I'm so sorry to hear about your house burning down. That must have been absolutely devastating.
I collect Die-Cast cars (Muscle Machines, mostly), shot glasses, vintage cameras and movie projectors, stuff that reminds me of my youth. I also collect whatever catches my eye at antique shops.
I collect vintage kitchenware (cookie jars, teapots, shakers, etc.)that depict fruit or vegetable faces! I've had this addiction for over ten years and it shows no sign of slowing (my husband swears they are breeding)!
