What do you all Collect??

maggiemay

Hi Gang

Im just being nosey and finding out what everybody collects, e.g old comics.

Well I collect Crystal animals and birds, got my two big tall corner display units full of them, and several boxes filled as well.

Admit cant really afford Swarovski crystal, but have some. My largest piece is a Golden Eagle my pride and joy.

It doesnt matter how daft it seems let me know,

Hi Mags

I collect russian dolls (those dolls inside dolls inside dolls etc), I have lots and lots. Mostly I have to collect them from charity shops but I'm glad they're making a comeback - I got some xmas ones from Next last year.

I also collect anything from the Me to You tatty teddy collection. I love those little bears.

My girls collect those ornamental dolls (again, mostly from charity shops). They love and cherish them but I have to say (and I'm sorry if anyone disagrees) I find them spooky with their staring eyes!

Nxx

PS - we also seem to be incapable of walking past any charity shops in case we can add to our collections. I have to say I have a soft spot for old teddy bears in general!

well my biggest collections so far are, dust, washing and dishes in the sink sorry couldnt resist,

maggiemay

That is a good one Coco
Think we are all the same coco

But charity shops have a lot to answer for, especialy my collections of crystal animals.

I have a few old Victorian china dolls and a lovely quality reproduction.I used to love all the Victorian fashions and was lucky my Sister was such a brilliant fashion designer and she made me some beautiful Victorian style clothes for my dolls, which I still have. I had a Sasha doll as a child and they increased in value so added a few more over the years.
I also collected paper dolls as a child, they used to sell beautiful ones when I was younger but the quality changed for the worse over the years. I have very few left now but do own a Shirley Temple book with nothing cut out.

I then started collecting vinyl records because I loved music.I have years of Gymnastics mags but last month they started putting it all online and it is not the same.

Only thing I collect is t-shirts... Bit of an odd one I know, but I'm a big kid and like my t-shirts... All character type ones.. Lol oh, and character socks... Haven't worn a normal pair of socks in many years..
Joan and Nina have seen some of my t-shirt collection, they can vouch for the fact I am an over grown child
I suppose I could say I collect dvds too.. Got a fair few..


Janet used to collect the swarovski crystal memories ones.. Dunno what's happened to em since we moved.. :roll:


PS, Rob, I too have a shed full of useless, erm, I mean, useful bits of crap.... Lol

I used to collect scabs...........

So interesting.........never two the same shape.......

Kept them in a matchbox........

I reckon bogey collecting has a future.......and you could do 'swaps' as well.....

This glass of wine is good.........so was the last one......

Goes well with tramadol

tjt6768

Oh Rob, I had forgotten about the scabs collection..... Maybe we could start a swap shop style thing for scabs? I've got one shaped like a burning nun.... What's that worth to ya??

I could do you a T-shirt for you with your boggies and scabs on it.

Used to do my own kids t-shirts when they were young.

Mind you what you collect says a lot about the person concerned!!!!!!!!

Oh thanks Maggie, but putting bogies on it :shock: :eek: Thats just sick, lol....

Rob, that would indeed be a reasonable swap rkid, been looking for a pele shaped one for years.. And seeing as you are throwing the cheesey extras in I will also add a deal sweetener for you... How about one shaped like the drummer ginger baker? And it's got an authentic ginger hue to it as well, not doctored with food colouring in the slightest, honest gov... :???: :eek: :???:

Wow.............Me favourite band of all time Cream.......
