I used to collect plastic bags...so don't feel to weird, Joaquin

Oh Moey! Where were you when we needed to rehome my Grandma's collection of plastic bags? She had them from all over the world. I did put them on ebay but the ebay bods thought someone had hacked into my account as a hoax and froze it. In the end we had to recycle them. I think she had about 2000!

Grandma's still going strong at 91 but she's losing her sight and wanted to rehome them. She went up in a hot air balloon for the first time for her 80th! I'm ever so proud of my Grandma!

When I had more free time, I used to collect jigsaw puzzles with Van Gogh paintings. Now I have fifteen different hung on the walls and more still in the boxes since I have no time to make them.
I also collect a monthly Disney publication from Italy and I too have some soccer and volleyball jerseys. The most important ones I have are one that belonged to Roberto Baggio at the 1994 World Cup in the USA (and it is also signed by him on the number 10 on the back), some from Juventus and one from a very popular volleyball player called Andrea Lucchetta.

I love items like this one, just bought

I collect pigs (only cute ones) and Cows On Parade

Oh, I would just love to see those, Stace! I like pigs and cows!! In fact, piggies have an undeserving bad reputation - contrary to popular belief they are not dirty animals - they roll in dry mud just to keep cool! They are also very, very intelligent! 3 for pigs, I say!

I knew I liked you

Here's further evidence on this sticker that pigs are wonderful creatures...


I will try to get a photo of my piggies...I have a very very small collection so it should be easy to do

[smurfieduck]

Not including the male members on here, of course!

Max: that's a great cupboard. I love old furniture too. Why is the cupboard so deep at the bottom though? It looks a bit strange like that. Maybe it was placed on top of another cupboard at one time

@ Tojo: it it a piece of forniture used to knee and pray.
Placed inside old houses in front of a sacre image, usaully.

I collect a lot of stuff... I just can't get myself to throw anything away...

But seriously, I collect comic books, 1/72 model ariplanes (mostly japanese and american) and a few other models I enjoy, recently restater "collecting" playmobil (and smurfs ), tv shows on dvd, and I'm sure I'm forgeting something else...

I won't bore you with the rest.

That's ashame, Hilary! I was having fun looking at those pics! I adore all the animal figurines that you have and I am looking forward to seeing them when I visit.

What a fun post! I really like hearing/seeing what other people collect. Nice collections everyone! Like many of you, I also collect many things. I love toys! Smurfs are my Number one obssession, but I also actively collect My Little Pony. All three generations of them. I have a coin collection I have had for years and many shot glasses. I also have many books and a large collection of Disney movies. With my 5 year old daughter we have a large amount of Littlest Pet Shop (both Generations), Care Bear Plushies, and Fisher Price Little People. I have kept many of my childhood things so I have many Barbie's/Playsets, my original Star Wars figures/Playsets, colorforms, Richard Scarey, and a bunch of other stuff. All this plus six people in my house. Yes, we are crowded!

[Tojo]

Isn't Richard Scarey the guy who illustrates the childrens' books? We've got a cool one with loads of cars where you have to find goldbug on every page.

I collect dust bunnys and cob webs.... ok that is only when I don't clean for awhile.

actually come spring time I start to buy up yard gnomes and yard frogs. I don't think of it as much as a collection as I do yard decorating but I still have several. That is where most of my money goes in the spring.. then when it gets too hot to venture outside I refocus on my smurfs. Its neat to see all the new gnomes that come out every year and I often set them up in themes around the yard during the great gnome migration..

If you ever wanna add to your collection I could maybe help out Actually, I admit I had never heard the term 'dust bunnys' before, but when I checked them out I recongnized them as what makes my CPU work (an IT man has shown me them in there )

I store a bunch of mine in my computer too, every once in awhile it makes my computer grumble and moan because of the over crowding then it comes time to relocate the little ones. (bunnies mulitply like crazy)
