Out of all the things I collect, books are by far the most in quantity.....probably about 2000 in the whole house. I know that sounds almost impossible AND I've skimmed, read or at least touched all of them.
I would collect books. With all the rewriting of history I sometimes feel like the keeper of true history. I have compulsions to have original print or early print books. I love old books....1800's...I do a lot of buying on ebay.

Heather, you know that a collector can't be "out collected"....Your post about your mother's books just made my competitive streak rise up....I've got to collect more books!!
Frannie, this has been a cute topic. It's interesting to see all the cool things gals collect.
Blessings

Hmmm . . . so many things I love . . . transferware, blue spatter enamelware, old treenware, quilts . . . hard to choose. But I think the one collection I would keep would be friends.
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda

I love so many different types of collectibles too. If I could afford it though, Kosta Boda glass pieces would probably be the one I would go with.

oh maryjane .. congratulations!!! boy? girl? name?
we're very excited about our new one due mid-June .. that will be NUMBER FIVE (plus that ONE great-grande!) they don't know boy or girl and always want to be surprized! wednesday says that usually at some point in her pregnancy (well, with her two others) .. a NAME would pop in her head that she loved .. and never another one .. and if it was a boy name .. she had a boy .. and if it was a girl name .. she had a girl.
Big brother, LUCAS has chosen ZACK for a boy (Zachary) .. and he wants another SOFIA if it is a girl!
tell us about the new little darling! xo

This little baby doll is my son Nathan's baby. She is a real sweetie and they named her Sadie! My Grandmothers name was Sadie so we are thrilled! She is now my 4th granddaughter and the rest of the cutie pie's are boys, 7 of them! I was just looking at her newborn picture and said out loud to myself "she looks like me"!!!!! We live close to 9 of the grandchildren and 2 live in Oregon! My life has changed forever because of these grandbabes! Isn't being a Grandmother the best!!!! Priceless collectibles! Thanks for asking Frannie!
