Do have a collection Obsession??

[J_is_my_initial]

I collect bunny figurines but haven't got them displayed right now.
I also collect rubber duckies. I like them the more different the better, for example I have one that looks like a waitress and many different colors. My main bathroom is decorated in yellow duckies.

I have an Alice in Wonderland collection.
I also recently started a "Missy needs a new outfit" collection.

I collect dolphins, anything dolphins, I have been trying to learn how to answer things on here plus tell other yorkie lovers about my yorkies. I'm not good on this computer. leona

My older daughter it was those little troll dolls.. she loved them!!
Second daughter Beenie babies and Barbies..
Youngest daughter , American girl dolls , she had 12 with all thier clothes.. we recently sold off most of them , except her first one!

Were you one of those annoying people who would drive through the drive thu at McD's a million times a day to get the entire collection.LOL
I was in college during the ty days and worked at McD's. haha
I would literally have people try to give me thier cell number so I could call them if we opened the next box.!

I have several obsessions, errr, I mean collectons lol. the most collected are salt and pepper shakers, Mark Roberts fairies and fairies in general and Home Grown figurines.

But my prize collection are my purses...all colors, sizes and styles!!! I am the Imelda Marcos of purses. "I need help!" lol

I would love to see pics of all the different collections each of you has! Here is a picture of part of my Alice in Wonderland collection. The hubby drew the line at displaying one shelves worth. The rest is put away...for now AliceInWonderlandShelf.jpg

We used to collect antiques and antique quilts...we had a shop for a couple of years and were addicted to auctions and estate sales. I now have a fairly large collection of antique, American made miniature baskets...like one egg or two egg baskets. I also collect Bears...fully jointed, hand sewn and signed Little Gem Teddies (over 150 of them) and Steiff bears but only the small ones. My husband collects antique padlocks which are hanging on the wall in a custom made display case...they look pretty cool.

As for collecting anything new...purses! I love D&B, COACH, Brighton...etc...and have a closet full of them. Also, Calphalon cookware...the commercial grade stainless steel and their anodized line...I have over 100 pieces. Yah, I know...silly when we go out to eat so much but hey...my kitchen looks good! The big joke here is I dust the stove like the rest of the furniture and I collect cook books and Calphalon!

I cannot begin to tell you how many Happy Meals I purchased for the teeny beanie babies. It was ME!!! And I was way too old to be doing such silly things with my hard earned $$.

I have collected many things over the years but the two I have left are
my Hummel Yearly Plates, have them all and a Steif Bear Collection.
Oh how I loved Teddy Bears. Still do but not so passionate anymore.

ok, I'll admit to Hummel plates (don't have them all) and Hummel figures, Christmas ornaments from each state I have travel to, the state quarters(but I'm starting to spend them) and of course, my valuable collection of screws, nuts, & bolts (you never know when you'll need one)

I love to go to estate sales and look for "old stuff" (not necessarily antiques) that I remember my mother, grandmother or aunts having something like it. A few years ago I was obsessed with collecting Wexford glassware. I have too much to display in a large china cabinet. I have also collected snowmen and santa figurines, but I'm kind of past that now. My obsession these day seems to be yorkie babies.

[Micah my love]

I have so many collections i don't know where to start,I have a doll collection that i haven't seen for years,dept 56 villages,snowbabies,fenton
& others inc. the Thomas Kinkaid Christmas plates hopefully this year will be the last one with it being # 12

I have collected cookie jars,Teapots glassware & endless others things but i am older than most of you so i've had longer to stash Lol

waiting for Jeannie1963 & crew to show up with trash bags

I collect dolls from the 50s (mostly, though I have others) and Chihuahua figurines (tiny ones only). My daughter also collects Alice, but she doesn't have that many yet.
