I collect Thomas Blackshear Ebony Vision figurines. I have two curio cabinets "full" (neatly displayed).

I collected Barbie dolls for my daughter until she started college. My new addictions for myself are D&B purses and Coach anything. For Lacey I have been collecting everything Juicy makes for pets.

Dust...I collect dust. I poke it under furniture, behind cabinets and sometimes in corners of the ceiling or on lamp shades. I have been known to just let it tumble around loose on the floor.

Oh, and I forgot my dog hair collection. I was thinking about saving it from the brushes, combs and vacuum cleaner and maybe making pillows or knitting sweaters for all of us.

I did away with some of my collection yesterday

Although I too collect dust and GSD hair unofficially, lol My biggest collection by far are my turtles....I have all sorts of rare made turtles some that go from the size of a pea to bigger than my Yorkie... I have a great family and even though my collection is vast I am pretty sure I have only bought a few of them!!! I have tons of puzzles of turtles all put together and glued and on the walls in my bathrooms. It is almost a quest for them always everywhere they go if someone in my family finds anything and believe me when I say anything that has a turtle on it or is one they think I don't have here they come toting it with a huge smile!!! It is a sure bet for them that I will LOVE it....and I love them for thinking of me as well.

WOW! I would love to see your creations. These type things are right up my ally! I am always looking for the 'unusual'.
Do you make these items to sell, or just yourself?

How could I forget about that one....YT helps me with this collection.

DaisyMom · 01-10-2010, 08:07 AM

I collect too many things to list, mostly antiques. Things like yellowware bowls, white ironstone, flo blue china, & goofus glass vases. I also have a lot of books. And cobwebs. Definitely cobwebs!

that is too cool!

I LOVE turtles, though I don't collect them. My best friend brought me home this turtle from St. Thomas island. It's made of little sea shells and has glasses on. It's very cute.

anyway, your post made me think of it! haha

Like many of you, I'm also an avid fur collector. My cat strongly encourages this collection and gives me some all the time.
