Me - I collect: stuffed animals (wild animals & cats)

Ever since I graduated from highschool in 1972, I have collected little boxes :D For this mother's day, hubby got me a "Willow Tree" statue and now I hope to collect several of them. I don't usually like statues, but I LOVE these. I will look for some pix...

I also guess I collect mugs and dinner plates because I can't resist them :)

I collect recipes, good tried and true ones that will hurt a person. Anyone have any?

I also collect Hall's Jewel Tea, Autum Leaf dinnerware. Use to be sold door to door back in my Mama's day... collectables now..

I collect cat hair, I wear it on all my clothes, decorate all my furniture and carpet with it... it really looks great on a pair of black pants and even wear it in my nose from time to time.

Everyone I know thinks I collect cat figurines so I have a real nice collection of those too.... to many to set out, not enough room anymore for all of them.

No, really I try not to collect, just another way to spend money but I have a lot of tv show t-shirts like angel and firefly, and a lot of bumper stickers (a pittie, spongebob, tyedye yin yang, manic panic, the key from potc dmc, and others.) I have quite a few potc things including 4 shirts. :)

I collect bells. Like souvenirs you get when you travel. I have over 100 and have been collecting them since I was 12. My grandma used to get me several each year when she was alive and traveled to visit family. Now my mom gets me at least one each Christmas. And friends always get me one when they travel. :)

Well, if cat hair counts then I have you all beat on the dog hair. I can put something in the washer twice in a row (and have) because it was still roan looking from all the little white Niņo hairs, then I gave up and wore it.

I actually had started a collection of magnets and also pins. My mom has carried on the pin collection. They own a cleaners so she finds those kinds of things occasionally and adds them on a blanket hanging on the wall in what used to be my bedroom and is now her office. My brother and SIL collect magnets too. :D

lol, I think bells are pretty - I see them everywhere too. now I guess I'll think of you everytime I see bells. :p

when I first went on my short roadtrip (two years ago), I thought to start a new collection - I pondered over mugs, magnets, keychains, and shot glasses... I didn't want anything breakable and lose one so I chose magnets. :D I almost started with pen with my name on but I knew there weren't many gift shops that has my name! :rolleyes: and ink would run out in years also..

one of my friends collects keychains and she has over 400 all over her walls. :eek: and other friend collects pens too... he has about 2,000 or something!

I have loads of cat figurines, so many I don't have enough space to display them all... cat pictures (photographs and paintings and prints)... lots of magnets, mostly cats but also ones from places I like or that otherwise appeal to me.

Here are pictures of some of my little critters. (Incidentally, the cat figure on top of the bookcase to the left in the first picture is not a ceramic but a real live cat! [my Poppy].)

Back when I was a kid I would collect bookmarks, but as for now, I don't collect a single thing. I'm really quite a minimalist and knick-knacks are just not my thing. I just don't like 'stuff' :) Oh, but on my computer I have about a zillion pictures of Quinn....so perhaps I collect digital photos of my real-live baby doll? :D :D
