[kt_luvs_kitties]

I collect anything kitty cat. I have figures, clocks, lamps, stuffies, door stoppers, ornaments, blankies, EVERYTHING kitty cats. I have been collecting for around 4 years now. I have so many I cant count them all.
What do you collect? How many do you have of it, and what kinds of different categories do you have (like figures or lamps) ???

But, Maya&Inka's Mommy - I love those masks :):):) Their very cool

[chocolatepuppy]

Too much! I have collected teddy bears for years, mostly Boyds now. I also started collecting lots of puppy and kitty stuff! ( like I need too, I have real ones :rolleyes: ) I keep swearing I'm done collecting! I'm waiting on a Boyds bearstone from ebay and see a Cherished Teddy in the Avon book I want! I swear, these are the last ones I'm buying! :p

[Laura's Babies]

Well, of coarse I have a collection of kitty stuff and every holiday that comes, it makes it easy to pick something for me. I have a daughter in law that gives me mostly cat related stuff every Christmas.

I also collect Jewel Tea (collectable dinnerware) and have a cabinet full of various pieces that include the set of my Mom's nesting bowls that I got when she died. I had admired those since I was a child. I also have some of her old pots and pans and have added pieces to those. Hammered aluminum that was sold door to door in the "old days".

[finn's mom]

I haven't really collected any of these things in awhile, but, I have a few collections that I've had for years....

spoons (pewter, mostly, but, they're from all over the world)
Eeyore
stuffed animals
little porcelain animals
Breyer horses



Now, I mostly just "collect" movies, books, and music. :)

[Corinna]

I collect dog figures from thered rose tea, lighthouses, and carousils.

[lute]

dog collers and leashes
dog figurines

[Glacier]

Bells, I have a couple hundred of them. I've been collecting those since I was a kid.

I also collect cow stuff, especially Mary Moo-Moo's and kitchen decor items. I don't buy it anymore, but I get tons of cow stuff as gifts! Drives my hubby nutty!

[QueenScoopalot]

I'll admit, I love my clutter lol. Chicken figurines (in the kitchen), cat figurines (especially vintage ones), Victorian trade cards, and framed prints...I've picked up some gorgeous ones, and inherited a few more. :) Steiff animals (99% old ones...newer ones just aren't as special). Lately I've been accumulating old cat planters which I adore! Someday I'll put plants in them, and glue them to the windowsill, so they don't end up broken like everything else that belongs to the cats here! :rolleyes: I do need to thin out my treasures soon, but the more surface clutter, the less need to dust! ;) Oh yeah, I collect that too! :D

[Prairie Purrs]

Fountain pens! Especially vintage ones. I've got a bunch of tarot decks, too.

[buckner]

I've collected spoons all my life.. I have close to 60 I believe. They're all different kinds from all around the world. Different countries and states. Sometimes just a spoon from an attraction I happen to be at. I'm lucky to even find spoons in "new" places. I keep them in spoon racks, and for Christmas my parents got me another rack exactly like my current one. I have about 15 spoons without a home and spoons without a place in the current rack. Yet, I'm too lazy to fully clean my room and put it up.

Anywhere I go, it's spoons I'm on the hunt for... I love them. :D

[sirrahved]

I collect lady bugs and salt/pepper shakers. I have just about everything ladybug, and about 15 salt/pepper sets. I'm on the lookout for ladybug shakers and baked potato shakers.

[manda_moo87]

I collect happy face things, bunny stuff and Cher stuff (LP's, CDs, tapes, movies, posters, articles etc.) :)


EDIT: I forgot about Beanie Babies! :o

[Suki Wingy]

I used to collect breyers and those sand filled animals you get at street fairs, but the breyers got too expencive, so now only the little sand animals, I only get to buy them once a year, so this year I think I want an elephant, a dragon, a mouse, and another lobster.

[wolf_Q]

I collect anything wolf/husky. I have TONS of stuffed wolves and huskies as well as figurines, calendars and lots of other stuff. My room is entirely filled with wolf and husky things.

Also I like any type of animal (especially dog) related items. I have a collection (mostly dogs, wolf, couple of cats) of Hagen-Renaker figures, I love those.

I also collect anything U2 related. I have shirts, posters, CDs (lots!), LPs, movies, books, etc.

I have a large collection (hundreds) of beanie babies too. I don't really collect them anymore, I only buy the ones I think are cute not every one that comes out.

I also have a frighteningly large collection of traffic cones of all shapes and sizes. :o

Nebo also has literally hundreds of toys so apparently I collect dog toys too.

Basically I'm a really bad collector, that is why my room is completely filled with junk.

[jesse_3]

I collect wolves and dogs, mostly breakables (I have two plastic ones LOL!) anything that involves dogs or wolves really.

I'm collecting Lord of the Rings-figurines, like this one:

I have a decent sized Breyer collection, I want to start collecting Patined Ponies- I need to go pick some up at the store in town! My room is covered in horses from celing to floor, it's insane!! Hehe!

Hey Kirsten, I have TONS of Lord of the Rings things too, I am looking to get rid of them, I need to make more room for my horse stuff!
