What do you collect?

Let's see them, ladies! What type of items are you a collector of? I haven't spent much time on my collection lately, but I LOVE Hummels and Lladros. Also, Precious Moments and decorative crosses.

I collect anything with barns, shirts, sweatshirts, nick nacks, plates, anything.
If I had my way and lots of money. I'd live in a barn. I also use collect longenberger baskets. I have 63 of them but have stopped collecting because they cost to much any more.

Willow · 10-08-2006, 02:32 PM

Hmm...I collect lots of things..Cherished Teddies, Yorkies (alive and decorative! LOL) and Ty Beanie Bears, although I haven't bought a beanie bear in several months!

I have several collections. I collect Sabino glass. It's glass that has gold in it and it is white with opalescent colors all through it. I have several birds, butterflies, and perfume bottles. It's very expensive so I only buy one every once in a while. Here's a link so you can look at one.

I also collect Hallmark Christmas ornaments. This collection is one that my husband hates. It takes a lot of room to store the ornaments and the boxes, but I just love decorating for Christmas and getting them all out (which takes forever!!!). My tree is always very, very decorated. I play a little game with my grandchildren after the tree is decorated. Our tree stand makes the tree turn around so I ask the kids to find certain ornaments. Kind of a search and find. Everyone always has their favorites.

I also collect antique children's toys. I have several oak cabinets from the early 1900's filled with little kitchen things and I have a little laundry set with a clothes line, wringer washer, little iron, and even clothes pins. I also have a couple of miniature oak dressers. I just finished an antique children's dish set (I love e-Bay!!!) and I also have several other dish sets.

I probably have a few other collections but these are the main ones. I love going to flea markets and garage sales but I get a lot of stuff from e-bay.

I collect Waterford Crystal. I especially like clocks and picture frames. I love how the light reflects from them.

This past year I've started collecting perfume decanters. I only have 7 of them, but each one is very different from the others. There are some really pretty ones out there!

Kimberley.... I have a friend who used to work for Lladro (their US headquarters is here in Jersey) and has quite a collection! You'd go nuts!!

I collect Angels, churches and, antiques. The Angels and churches that I collect are usually very primitive.

I still have my first Barbie and Midge and several others from when I was little. I got my first one for Christmas in 1963. She still has her ponytail and her original swimsuit. I didn't have any sisters so my Barbies are in pretty good shape. Oh how I loved my Barbies!!!

SweetCuteness · 10-09-2006, 09:37 AM

Hmmmm... I collect shoes, purses, and jeans!

Kidding... kind of.

I don't realyl collect anything. I've started sort of collecting the little clay angels from hallmark. My mom and my brother got me my first ones, and I love them!
