If you had to sum up what you collect in one word or name, What would it be?
Whether it be lacy, Precious Moments, PINK, Bathing Suits or whatever. :D
I collect a ton of things, but since I only said one, I will pick one of my biggest collections and say "Pigs" :D

Just one thing? Don't think I can do it..LOL. Hmmmmm .....it used to be pottery(Frankoma, blue mountain, haegar, hull, mccoy, evangeline, mcmaster) but now we live in a small cottage so most is packed away. I have so much craft stuff that I'm sure hubby would say all things crafty. I love to read historical romance novels so yeah lots of Laveryl Spencer, Nora Roberts, Diana Gabaldon and Rosemonde Pilcher around too. Oh and love angels, Santa clause and teddy bears.

Are you asking which one of our collections do we like the best?? I think I have collected about everything listed here at one time or another. I am on the back side of collecting. I am giving stuff away. Granddaughter took my grandpiano music boxes the other day. I used to collect buffalos and had them in boxes in storage. The otherday, got them out and set them out. We recently redecorated a bedroom into our buffalo/indian room. Around and around stuff goes.
My favorite collection is probably antique school books. Especially Am history. |

I collect figural napkin rings-my grandmother started me on this and she has a beautiful collection. I love to think about the stories these napkin rings could tell if they could talk. |

Well...it's hard to narrow it down. I'm going to say vintage kitchen items. Can range from old Fireking and Pyrex to painted handled rolling pins and the oddly colored flour sifter. Has to be old, has to be well loved (used :))

I like to collect farm house depression era items. Pretty easy to find- and the items have such character. And those items bring back so many memories from my grandparents farm house!

I collect Jadite and paperweights. The paperweights aren't used to hold down paper or anything else...I just enjoy looking at them.
I guess you could say I collect quilting fabric too...I have so much, it must be considered more of a collection that supplies.

I'm with Melanie...lately it just seems to be DUST! LOL
When I was a teen, it was clowns. I had a ton of them! Then when I finally moved on to teaching, I started collecting (of course) apples. My whole kitchen was apple stuff. For a minute about 15 years back it was bumble bee stuff. Now occasionally I will pick up a flying pig something or other for my office. (Cause they'll get that paperwork...when pigs fly!) I have a lovely small collection of tea cups. Most were inherited from my mother in law when she passed.
I guess I don't really collect anything but I do seem to have an over abundance of yarn, fabric, and beads......but you can't really call those "collectibles" can you...I mean...I'll use it in some craft or another...some day...right??? LOL. |

I used to collect angels and they are still my favorite thing to collect but my children seem to think it's just more clutter so I surptised them and took most of them down and stored them in a tub wrapped up with the directions that who ever comes to my funeral party is to take one home...
Now I tell my children and friends to save me buttons. They are so much easier to collect and not clutter up the house.
Hope all your days are Sunnydays.

They should he here this week and I cannit wait. And then there is the eighty or so that I have in my to read pile hiding in my closet, along with the hundreds that have already been read on my books shelves.
