Just wondering what other people collect? I feel like I want to ' collect' something! A hobby if you like, something small, useful and or pretty, that would bring me pleasure ( no smutty answers lol) that I could add to when I saw a different one. I would maybe have a list of ones to collect, as and when I had the money. I have other hobbies that keep me busy, so would like something that doesn't necessarily take too much time, apart from buying said items. Do others do something similar? And maybe they would be worth something in the future, whatever they might be......

Like gillybob, I collect sea glass too. It's free, it's a good reason to walk around the beach looking for it and it's lovely to have it in a glass bowl in the bathroom. I've collected enough to cover a small garden table with it; like a mosaic top. Now I'm looking specifically for particular colours of glass.

You can do as little or as much as you want

I used to collect thimbles and have a nice display iny cabinet. I used to be a member of a thimble club and they sent a leaflet every month but it is now disbanded.
