I have a large collection of swarovski crystal, including a lot of "retired" (discintinued) items, and a lot of limited edition bits.

I collect Beswick and Royal Albert Beatrix Potter figures 

 also have a rapidly growing herd of Geoffreys LOL

and according to Mr S I also have a compulsion to add to my Yankee collection ........though I thoroughly disagree

[stampingpat]

I seem to be getting a right collection of ummmm hedgehogs!! LOL

[ilove2patch]

Fabric & threads! lol

[stampingpat]

Oh almost forgot...... I also collect cookbooks. 🙂

I have a small collection of Caithness glass vases;  I also have collections of postcards and old knitting patterns, though intend to reduce these.  And like Maggie, I seem to have collected a lot of fabric! (and unfinished projects!)

[bitsnknots]

At the moment, I seem to have a small collection of wool.  I used to collect clowns but got fed up with that and I've sold nearly all of them.

[ed_blackadder_1]

Cookery Books, China and wooden cats, local pottery and the china dinner service and matching bits we had for a wedding present,

oh and I have 48 Beatrix Potters dating from the late 50's and 60's, Had some every birthday and christmas when I was little, in a carboard box in the loft.

Not much room for any more collections

ed-blackadder My beatrix potter collection also started as a child sadly due to an accident it was all lost and I only started again when My Dad replaced Peter Rabbit for my 30th birthday

They are lovely, but with children and animals in the house I haven't had them on display for about 20 years, so I suppose they are just an investment now. Shame really.

A friend once claimed I had a collection of collections which I though was a bit unfair as I only collect stamps, postcards, minerals, fossils, carnival glass, brass instruments and books

Oh no their too nice to be stuck in a box and the grandkids love touching them while I tell them the story but thats part of the enjoyment.

[ed_blackadder_1]

No grand kids yet maybe when I get some I will bring them out.

[captainbovine]

blue and white china with cows on......

I used to collect china cows too but I've no room here in this bungalow now, a lot of them are still packed up.

I'd started to collect small china dogs too but had to stop....no room!

[dark_castle1]

My wife collects Border Fine Arts ornaments, these are on display. She did start collecting Caithness glass but that is now put away, then she started collecting Cow Parade ornaments but after getting six or seven gave that up and these are put away.

Now as for my collecting ! Aches and Pains that is what I collect and as I get older the collection is growing rapidly.

[chips-and-brown-gravy]

Victorian botanical watercolours.

Can't be doing with ornaments - 3 cats sees to that.
