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!!!

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!

Honey, there are 1000's more where than came from!!

None of those are doubles!!! I have boxes and boxes full of duplicates!

Wow, that's nuts! How did you ever get started in collecting them? I thought my aunt was nuts for having like 400 Lucy Riggs ceramic bears!

I collect (or rather used to before kids) GWTW memorabilia. I started out collecting reproduction B&W prints of scenes from the movie. First original piece I purchased was a B&W still print of Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable - only 120 prints were made for magazine publication only. The biggest (and most expensive) piece I have is an original movie poster from 1954 with a deep purple background - it is my most favorite piece because it's so different.

I used to collect beanie babies but they are now bagged and boxed and put away. For a time, we collected 1/24 scale Nascar cars - something the whole family enjoyed collecting.

But now, like Nicole, I collect dust

One of my friends got me into it! She actually sold all her stuff, but I still have tons. I'm actually going to go through it soon and sell duplicate sets on eBay. I have so much stuff in my parent's attic!

I used to collect cats (real and china, wood, etc.), elephants (not real), miniatures,
depression glass, pictures of paths, antiques, and there's probably more. Are 2 ex-husbands a collection?

Now, I don't collect anything unless I can wear it. I just don't want anything else for my house.

That is a great collection! Since I really don't collect anything, how did you get started and why these?

My friend had a great collection that I admired. I loved playing with FP little people when I was young. She gave me one as like a souvenir, and then I wanted more!

Ponyup · 10-10-2006, 09:52 AM

Music boxes, things with kittens, stuffed animals (have tons, must get one everywhere I go), & I guess Dean Koontz books.
