ANTIQUES..I've collected since I was a kid and before it was cool! I have furniture and I love kitchen gadgets. But I think I have enough right now. (unless you have some tin spice containers..wait...no....better not....)
Norman Rockwell Christmas Ornaments; I have about 10. they seemed to have stopped making the ones I bought after he died.
Stopping now...Donna  |

I have boxes stacked with unopened boxes of clothes and dolls. Then, I have 3 tall shelving units full of her displayed in some of the playsets (office, boutique, bedroom and nursery). This all led to the collecting of Little Tikes miniature play items for the displays. Beanie Babies --- yes, I have TONS of those, too. Of course I thought that I needed two of everything so that my daughter had a set.  Again, in boxes. Hallmark ornaments. I'm not as obsessed with these except that I get one for each of my kids every year and I tried to keep them from "sets" such as Barbie for my daughter and "sports guys" for my son. McDonalds - not only do we have the full sets of the tiny Beanie Babies but I have sets from back in 1988 like Bambi. OMG - they're in barrels! Last but not least - Harley Davidson & Yorkies. We haven't gotten obsessive about them but those are our new focus now. Poor Barbie - she's going to get downsized and have to share a room with Mia & Max. I plan on getting one of those signs like
Barbie has except it says "Yorkie Ave"! hahaha! My daughter collected turtles, pirates, gorillas and anything Jack Daniels! Good thing she's "legal"! Where does everyone keep their collections? |
Any spares you're willing to give up?
My collections kind of tie together...
-Beanie Babies
-Stuffed Animals
-Dog Figurines/Stuffed Animals/whatever! Or any animal really, but mostly dogs and horses.
-Yorkie things
-101 Dalmatians things, or just Dalmatian things, but from the movie is better lol
-Keychains
I don't have too many beanie babies. Most of my collection I got as Christmas presents. One every year for maybe 9-10 years. I have two rare ones, too. The two iguanas, Rainbow and Iggy, but the name tags are switched! LOL I'd like more, though.
Stuffed animals!! I have A LOT! I'd have to take at least 10 pictures to show them, and I still have a lot that I need to find a place for. I still have some from when I was a baby. I actually have the teddy bear the hospital gave when I was born.
Figurines... I don't have too many, but I'm getting there. lol
Yorkie things fall into stuffed animals and figurines and keychains. lol Or anything else yorkie I can get! Pens, notebooks, magnets, anything!
101 Dalmatians is my favorite movie ever! I have a lot of the McD's little toys and the snow globes they had. Stuffed animals (Lucky and Wizzer lol) I went to a yard sale last year and was soooo excited!! I found a dog bowl that has the dalmatians on it and everything!! It was still in the plastic wrap and only $5!!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how happy I was when I saw that.
Oh the keychains... lol I have so many. Places I've gone to, dogs, even thr free sample ones when you go to businesses and stuff.
Ones I've made, too. I don't have keys for them, but that doesn't matter. lol
