Gosh, I think it would be easier to say what I don't collect!
The main things I collect are Swarovski crystal, glass paperweights, any other glass that
I like the look of, Fosters pottery, anything to do with outdoor swimming pools, ie old
photos of them/posters etc.
Oh and junk and craft stuff, seahorses, owls and cats.

Things I like rather than proper collectables, but mainly
Witches - ornaments, glass, books, candles (anything really)
Rough Collies - books, ornaments (but they have to look true to the breed and RC's seem to be one of the hardest breeds to capture) and pictures
Cards
Not an intentional hobby, but I see cards I really like and buy them. Then birthdays, christmas etc come round and I can't bring myself to part with them.
Stupid, I know!
I hadn't realised Dust collecting was so popular. If anyone would like some of mine to add to their own collection I might be persuaded to part with some.

Cards - Me too!! I sometimes make my own and can't part with those either. Glad I'm not alone in that. I'm also like it with jumpers; I'll see a lovely jumper and end up keeping it for best. What's "for best" when you don't go anywhere other than dog walking and shopping. LOL

Ornamental teapots, fancy mugs, cruet sets, stamps, coins, fridge magnets, soft toys, books, dvds
All except coins and stamps are on display on shelves, racks, the fridge and freezer.

I used to collect owls but the problems were, there were so many that I liked I had too many plus people bought me them for birthdays and Christmas and from their holidays etc, and so again, far too many plus some of the ones I was given as gifts I didn't really like but I had to keep them on display as the givers were also visitors. In the end I had to give most of them to the charity shop, just keeping the most special ones.
