Are you a collector?

I collect PotC stuff, and probably have over 60 pieces of merchandise. I also collect PotC/ Johnny Depp pictures and have over 500 of those.

I ALSO collect stuffed animals, although not as much as I used to. I have near 200 of them now, and have kept some for 10 years or more. I know they take up a lot of space in my room, but I just can't sell them or anything.

When I was a youngster (a long time ago) I had a collection of little dog figurines. Most were china, but I did have some metal and wood ones too. They meant a lot to me and as an adult I wanted to pass them on to dog loving children. Today's kids seem to have such an abundance of stuff that I don't think the little dogs had much meaning to the recipients.

As an adult, I have not really *collected* anything. I do like teapots and there is a certain type of ceramic I would like to acquire some pieces, but I doubt that I would want any more than 5 of anything. Guess I don't have the collector mentality anymore. I still think that my little dog collection and that it really didn't have any importance to anyone else made an impression on me.
