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! Smiley Embarassed

 

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. Woman Very Happy

Cards - Me too!! I sometimes make my own and can't part with those either. Glad I'm not alone in that. Woman Happy 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

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.

Don't collect things in the official way, but seem to gather tins and boxes (and nice paper bags - why ??) Love elephants and giraffes. Have a few Swarovski bits and bobs, but because I don't like collections, they are all in the loft, carefully wrapped Smiley Indifferent

Weird, I know
