Re: Do you collect anything ?


I'm not actively collecting anything presently, but have a good collection of bone china tea cups, demitasse cups, salts, and a small bit of Chinese porcelain and American pewter ware.

I am a mess when i go to a beach for collecting stones and shells. I have various collections of them in the house and garden.
Gemstones mainly but I'm not above picking up the odd stone off the beach if it's an interesting looking one

Re: Do you collect anything ?


Oh no, where to start. I am a hoarder and a collector - as is OH - we barely have enough room to swing the cats!!

Stones - mainly for the garden, but small interesting ones go in the house
Beswick Horses
Border Fine Arts - sheep and border collies
Small boxes
Jugs
CD's, books, pictures
Golden Retriever - anything - books, ornaments, stamps, postcards etc.
To a lesser extent - models of cats and hens
I have a huge collection of Beanie Babies - now all in the loft

I'm sure there are things I've forgotten.

Sometimes - generally if I like the picture! IMO this is a good thing to do, later on you may want to store them in a special way to commemorate those occasions. In my recent sorting of family photos etc. I came across my mother's card she sent out on my birth/christening. I was glad to put those in my album.

I do keep certain cards, i have all the birth congrat card from my sons, plus their christening and birthday cards from their younger days.
Now i keep the odd birthday card from close family and certain christmas cards if they have a realy nice picture, i put them up each year. One year i saved a realy nice card from an old neighbour, the next year she had passed away so it was nice to still have the card.
I still have my nana's last birthday card she bought me just before she died.
