Good morning everyone


Beside collecting things cat related.....

Do you collect anything?

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
Monkey stuff. I adore monkeys I dont know why and I for the life of me I have no clue when it started but I love and adore monkeys. Amanda got me a monkey poofy for SS last year and its in a place of honor with the rest of my monkey stuff...I even have a monkey hoodie from Aeropostale that I only wear on special occasions.

I do randomly collect doxie stuff. One day I want to do up a blankie with all pictures of Franklin to add to my doxie stuff.

Cookbooks! I collect cookbooks. But I'm to the point where I'm trying to be careful. Before I buy a book, I need to make sure that I will use at least five recipes from the book. It used to be only one recipe, but since I've over-grown all my storage space in the house, now there must be at least five recipes or I won't (can't!) buy the book.

I have a key chain collection I started when I was younger. I also collect license plates.

My boyfriend collects odd things and keeps them all on a bookshelf, but I say that it just collects dust

Cats, apparently
. And my dad accused me of being a cat food/litter hoarder when he saw my garage
(hey, with this many cats I can't run out, it would be a disaster!). I don't really collect anything right now.

But when I was younger, I collected everything. I had a keychain collection, a cute eraser collection, a pretty rock collection, fuzzy stickers, books, Beanie Babies, Sylvanian Family, and, for some reason, I used to pick up every BB I found and put it in a pencil case. I had 3 cases full at one point! I was an odd kid.

Mostly cats and cat hair......although I do tend to pick up interesting stones, and have a small box full of those. Most interesting find is agatised wook, similar to petrified wood but a warm rich amber colour.

I seem to have a pretty good rubber ducky collection - I get one in my Christmas stocking every year.
They are dressed up in costumes, and three of them are cat-duckies and they look similar to our cats.

I'm more of a "get rid of it" person.

I collect 2 things:

Jim Shore's figures.. Disney related mostly, but I do have others for holidays. I find them so unique and beautiful.

I also collect those crushed pennies that are usually found in amusement parks and other tourist areas. I recently got 3 from Sesame Place this weekend with Elmo, Abby and Oscar on it, lol

Dust?



Seriously though I collect reproduction turn of the century carousel horse and menagerie animals, and reproduction Notre Dame gargoyles and grotesques.
Those two collections have spawned snow globe and music box collections.

I used to collect clowns but ran out of room as to where to put them. I now just display my cat clowns which are adorable.

All the cat clowns I have are from Jim Shore and I agree they are beautiful.

I have a few porcelain dolls lined up on the plant shelves in our dining room. A German doll, Bride Doll, and a few others - also Heidi and her boyfriend Eric (I never even knew Heidi had a boyfriend). I have 2 dolls that I picked up on sale at a mall - and when I got them home I discovered they have names. One is Ida and one is Jacqueline --- coincidence - my late mother's name was Ida and my niece is Jacqueline. Everything else here is cats!

mostly tyco rc cars
have a few other cars in the mix tho.
Also I am the same with cat food/litter-planning to do a good load up at petsmart. was told no one really comes to early(big box store in the same plaza) so plan to go when first open. My bedroom closet is the best place to store food since cats cant get into it to shred the bags for the fun of it...
