WHAT do y'all collect?? I know most collect a lot, but just name 3 of your biggest collections.
1) Angels. I have quite a few, a couple Jim Shore I received as gifts. And other Angels too, I love them they are dainty and just cute :) I have a few concrete ones in the garden and received a pretty big one last year from friend A as a bd. gift.
2) Cookbooks, well no need to explain this, lol. And me, a person who hardly ever cooks (hangs head in shame) just love cookbooks, lol
3) USA decorating/interior magazines like Romantic Homes, Victorian Homes etc. I absolutely LOVE those, I love reading them, getting new ideas for my shabby chic/romantic interior and just keep all of them that I have.
I collect MANY more things but I promised myself not to list more then 3, lol. If I would have to list them all I would get crazy just reading it :)
SO gals, what is your top 3 list of collections??

Have a great day, Karen

Just three? Hmmm...well, you know how a collection has a way of birthing a 'sub collection'? Like my kitchen utensils has birthed a separate but equal 'rolling pin collection'. LOL! Then there's my doll collection that shot off into a 'toy collection'. And thirdly, the Japanese majolica collection that has sent out a healthy offshoot called the 'vintage aquarium ornament collection'. :D

How'd I miss this thread til now? I collect old potato mashers! I've been doing it for about 15 years and now I only pick up ones that have a different "masher part". You'd be surprise at how many different kinds of mashers there are. I just found one that folds up so it'll fit in the drawer!

I used to collect a lot of things that I no longer collect. It is hard to get people to stop giving you stuff after you stop collecting or loose interest. I used to collect bells, geriffs(sp) things with Iris on them. Now I collect:
1. Recipes/cookbooks
2. Yard/garden ornaments
3. Dust |
