What do you collect?

I collect strange medical books and novelty lighters, although I do not smoke.

Hmmm .... I collect cat figurines carved from various stones: agate, malachite, tiger's eye etc. I also collect M. Pena figures from Windstone Editions. I have quite a few Breyer horses too. Unfortunatley right now I am also collecting rejection notices!

YOU are so predictable!!

OK here I go.
1.beer caps
2.shot glasses
3. spider (I know it's kinda odd but I used to be afraid of them but then i started studying them, kinda like therapy and soon I started to collect them)
4. old and rare coins
5. cat pictures and drawings that either me or one of my friends made

According to DH, everything! I have superballs too. Other than that: rocks, pennies and coins of all sorts (esp foreign ones!), buttons, craft stuff...ok some of thoes are just me being a packrat, but I do love coins and rocks! I have some fossils too. Oh and I dry the roses DH gives me, so that's a collection for me too in a way! I also collect the Mandie mystery series by Lois Gladys Leppard. I've been addicted to them since I was about 10 or 11 and havn't let up yet!

O.K, here's my list:

Cat figurines

Beanie Babies (NOT too many, just the occassional one that strikes my fancy):

Shot Glasses

Key Chains

Anne Rule (true crime) books

I collect:

Louis L'Amour books
Penguins (preferably glass, but any will do)
X-Files memorabilia (used to)

I collect post cards

Um, dust? I collect lots of cat hair too!

The only partial collection I have is a collection of kewpie doll cake-toppers from the early 1900s. I bought a few of them on ebay and used them to decorate the table our cake was on at the wedding. One pair is even made of celluloid, which is a very soft and malleable early form of plastic.

I want to collect more but I have nowhere to put them and the cats would just knock them over.

Plus, I'd rather collect purses and shoes

I collect salt and pepper shakers, antique and unique ones only.

Well, I do have a small collection of unusual promotional pens, given to me by various vendors and customers. I especially like the ones that light up.

I have a cool light up pen! Changes colors....want it?

I have one too! I got it given to me when I applied for a credit card a few years ago but I have no idea where it went... It was so cool though.

Was it silver? Did it just glow on on one end of the pen? Can you change what color you want it to glow? If so I have your pen....

Aaw no but that one sounds cool! Maybe you could give me that as a replacement It just lit up bright blue

Well, I LOVE blue, but I think I'll stick with mine...

I collect mini football helmets (American)...mostly college, but some pro as well. Built a den to watch games, and have display shelves running all around the top of the room. Tough to dust, tho...

I inherited a collection of "curio cats" little cat figurines. So, now I have an excuse to buy more of them.
