What do you collect?

Christmas snow globes, suits my sense of order as they only come out once a year.

Dogs!

I used to collect pens.
When people went abroad and wanted to bring me back something, I would say a pen please.
I figured they were easy to find and cheap and useful.

I like tea towels. My Mum used to bring me them back and now I buy them myself when we go away.
Lovely colourful reminders every day.

Owls, have rather a large number, my grandson bought the first
one 25 years ago and my elder daughter and granddaughters have added to it .

Shinamae

Dust, I have quite an impressive collection actually ..🤓

It's spiders and their webs here. Every time I turn around there's another one, they're so quick!
I tell the children we're a spider sanctuary 🕸️🕷️

Nothing.

Rubber ducks! I bought a few to use for an Easter Hunt as dgd wasn’t, then, keen on chocolate. Since then people have bought me the odd novelty one when they’ve been away and I’ve bought some as mementos and I now have a collection on the bathroom windowsill.

(think) forgive my spelling, not got my specs on.

(shelves)

Plastic boxes, you know the ones that fill the sleves after christmas, I thunk, ohh that will come in useful.So yes I have lots! of empty plastic boxes in various sizes.

Also empty cardboard boxes, like when you buy a new item and it comes in a box. I think, I best keep the box in case I have to take it back or sell the item (I do flatten the boxes first)

obviously not real ones Grandmabatty 🤣🤣 🐘

Babushka wooden dolls. I loved them from when I was about 7 and a friend was given one. It was beautifully painted and had 7 Russian ladies stacked inside each other.

I have 2 dozen or more now.

I used to collect bow brooches and powder compacts. All bought very cheaply. I sold most of them a couple of years ago and was very surprised at their value.
NanKate are you reading Everything is Beautiful?

Nothing - like @dragonfly46 I’m a shedder, not a collector.

I can honestly say I don’t collect anything and I love getting rid of things. My DH is a hoarder and cannot get rid of anything.

Pebbles, small rocks picked up while visiting different places just a little reminder of happy times.

Rubbish. I collect rubbish. Or maybe it is just that I can't get rid of it. I know I have too much of it. I do so envy tidy people.

I don't really have a collection, but my go-to purchase if I am travelling is local pottery vases or bowls. I have quite a few, but not so many as to be excessive.

Well, according to me, anyway. If you asked my DH he might roll his eyes.

I gave my only Julip horse to my horse mad granddaughter along with the stable. It was quite a wrench to part with it. As for collecting it’s more a case of what don’t I collect. Ladybird books, shards of pottery, sea glass. Old costume jewellery which I find more beautiful that any priceless diamonds.

cd's ,I know they are not fashionable but I still have and buy vinyl too.I much prefer taking an album from the shelf and reading the cover notes to listening to streamed music.The quality is better soundwise too on our system.
I have over 2500 CD's and around a thousand vinyl albums.I still buy new ones regularly
I would challenge you to find them though they are very well hidden as I like the house clutter free but easily to hand for use

I used to collect Italian pottery but after DH died it wasn't the same and I've boxed it all up for DD to inherit.

I've got a collection of Biba make up and memorabilia that I've found on EBay/ I've also got some vintage Julip horses if anyone horsey remembers them.

I sent collect anything but I think I would like some studio glass pieces.

I used to collect peoples problems.Now I have stopped for my own sanity !!
