| So what does everyone collect? I am curious as to what everyone collects. I have collected many different things in my life. But for the moment I collect grape pattern milk glass, and milk glass with gold trim. I have well over 100 different pieces of them, eventually I hope to get a house I can display them in |

| Oh, goodness, where to start. Used to collect antique dolls, now it is mostly Patti Playpal, Shirley Temple companion sized dolls dressed very fancy for holidays, etc. Have many very tiny to 21 - 27" jointed Kewpie dolls, the larger ones that I dress. Collect many of my old toys that I once had and find ones like them in antique stores, doll shops, online, estate sales, toy shows. I make and collect all kinds of jointed Teddy Bears, many in mohair, especially like the large ones, 22" up. My largest handmade jointed Teddy Bear is 48", made after the Teddy Bear Bread Bear.

| I collect different things for different rooms in my house. For the living room I collect large garden wild animal statues like tigers. Outside in my backyard and in my bedroom I collect koi and frog things because I have a pond in my back yard. I love plants and I have real and fake all over the house. I also collect unusual picture frames. In my kitchen I have a copper collection that Ive had for about 15 yrs. I also collect sun and moon wall hangings in there. I also hjave a collecftion of shells in my bathroom. Theres more but thats my biggest ones

| LOL, that's what I was going to say. I collect dust! Other than that, I don't collect too many things these days. Do you remember beanie babies? I have boxes and boxes of them! Mostly bears. I just can't part with them but I have not collected any new ones in years. I'd like to find a new "thing" to collect one of these days.

| I'm not really a normal collector, for a while I collected Demdaco pieces, I think I have nine, but have lost interest. I tend to just collect weird things, most of which I plan to make scrapbooks/collages out of: -EVERYTHING from when we went to Disney World, down to sugar packets & napkins! -EVERY newspaper article for the entire hockey season my team won the cup. -tons of stuff from the 2008 campaign, including 19 magazines that I haven't even read! maybe I'm not collecting anything, just hoarding, idk!!

| Sounds like we have some very interesting collectors Oh boy, this could be embarrassing..... During the height of the Beanie Baby craze I collected like a madwoman. I even have two Germania that my son puchased while he was on a cultural exchange. I collected miniature horses for a while, but since my leg injury I can't train them any more so I only kept my favorite six I am really into building up my Yorkie curio cabinet. I have mugs, several different Christmas ornament collections, including an adorable miniature snowglobe collection. My latest addition (it's on order) is a life sized Yorkie statue for my garden. |

| Shoot, I forgot about the doggie dresses! I am an avid collector of handmade doggie dresses -- my girls don't wear clothes but I consider them works of art! |
