I don't like clutter or cleaning so I don't collect anything that collects dust - except gardening books, though I use them so often that they don't get dusty. I do have a large collection of earrings, most of them $50-150 each pair, but that's happened over 15 years so it spreads out the cost. And I love high quality cooking pots and tools so I have a good collection of kitchen equipment, little of it electric.

I wouldn't say that I collect cats, because that's bad for the animals, but I do like to have a dozen in my home at any time so I'm off to the shelter again this Sunday to adopt 3 more. Then that's it for some years, I hope.
