Those are beautiful! I could never collect anything like that, I'd be in panic mode all the time worrying one might get broken. I have never heard of those before. There web-site in very elegant!

We collect Hallmark ornaments. Our Christmas tree in the family room is just Hallmark. I collect Christopher Radko ornaments and that's the theme of my Christmas tree in the living room. I also collect Gzhel Russian porcelain but I haven't bought any in a long time.

Mandy I have several pieces of Swarovski jewelery and ornaments, they are very pretty. I start collections of various, snowbabies, prescious moments, elvis, but I always end up buying angels like I mentioned.

I collect (or rather used to) GWTW movie memorabilia. Before the boys came along, I purchased quite a few original pieces - and a few are even rare. I have an original movie program from 1939 in mint condition, a black & white still publicity photo from 1940 (only 120 were produced), a poster out of a warehouse in South America that I paid $15 for and was offered WAY more than that for it about a month after I bought it, and an original movie poster from 1954 that has a purple background. I have other original pieces but these I've listed are the rare things I have - I have books, other posters, movie stills, lobby cards, dolls, figurines, and music boxes. I still look for GWTW things to add to my collection. Right now, I'm adding the Hallmark Christmas Ornaments to my collection - missed out on last year's ornament as our store only got like 6 in and by the time I got there, they were gone

So I'll check ebay for it one of these days.

I also was part of the "beanie baby" craze a few years ago and now have 3 plastic containers full of them in my attic (they are all sealed in plastic bags). I don't collect barbie but I do have some of mine from when I was little - my favorite is Hair Happenin Francie from 1970 - got her as a birthday present

And as a family, we've collected some NASCAR 1/24th scale cars.

I wish I would have started collecting when I a child. My mother didn't want things cluttering up her house, so that idea was shot!!! Then when I first got married, we were just starting out and wanted things for our home. Not sure what I would want to collect if I did start.

My husband is the collector in our family. He has a 4 car garage that he can't park a car in. It is so full of so much crap. He doesn't throw anything away and whenever I've thrown things out of the house, I can usually find it somewhere in his garage. Drives me crazy. Maybe I will have to start a thread in the VENT forum...LOL

Oh, and antiques.

I think Lladros are fancy figurines from Spain.

I had heard of them before but I googled LLadros just to make sure. They have some really beautiful porcelain figurines.
