What do you collect?

[Candy]

Wow Yvonne that's a lot of books I wouldn't want to have to dust in that room. Maggie, that is some of the most beautiful (if not the most beautiful) china that I've ever seen. Is that pink or does the camera just make it look that way?

 

[pdrobber]

OMG Yvonne! My parents had that couch in their house! it lasted awhile, pretty sure it was around before me. just had to share, that's the first thing I noticed from the picture...

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

I collect aldabras, LOL.

Maggy I like your collection.

I collect beautiful things, when I see something beautiful I must have it. Sorry my favorite seinfeld quote. OMG yvonne you collect dolls, I never would have guessed. BTW I have that alf doll. I collect garfield and turtles and tortoises. In my younger days I collected baseball cards got like over 10000, comic books also have like 10000, action figures. Oh I also sorta collect books have like several hundred, mostly scifi and fantasy. In case you have not guessed by now yep I am a geek.

I guess you could say I "collect" children's books I'm looking for a teaching position and I want to teach K-2 so I am always looking for children's books in thrift stores
I don't like a lot of clutter so I don't really collect tchotchkes (weirdest word ever btw.)
I have a few tortoise figurines but that's about it!

 

[Robert]

I collect Star Wars merchandise, right down to the custom vanity plate. (Pretty nerdy, I know!). I also collect WWII and Vietnam era military surplus used for Living History Displays and Reenactments. (More focus on Vietnam era with a particular focus on combat medic supplies, equipment, gear and uniforms.)

I have just started to collect tortoise statues and knick knacks.

I bought it at a yard sale for $20 about 15 years ago.

And Candy: the door is always shut, so it never gets dusty in there.

I THINK that's the word Maggie was trying to use in referring to her collection of turtles and tortoises. I couldn't figure it out until I saw it spelled correctly on your post!

And Kenny: I really like that your collection is in plastic covers. Can you imagine what those books are going to be worth some day being kept in such good condition?

I have a stamp collection that is in plastic too.

I watch all the "hoarding" shows on cable just to keep reminding myself what all my collecting might lead to!

I like this thread! I have or used to have an Alf doll, we watched that show every time it was on when I was younger. He was too funny! I still have an original cabbage patch doll, she was a constant companion of mine when I was young, but we are both showing our age now! ha ha I also have other old toys my great grandmother made for me that I'm hanging on to. I do have some turtle figurines and turtle jewelry so that is a starting collection And I recently started knitting so there's a definate yarn collecion building faster than I can knit! That's it for me, so far . . . .

I'm not sure if I'm going to spell it right, but its Homer Loughlin china. The background is a cream color and the flowers are pink.

 

[Maggie Cummings]

it's Homer Laughlin china most of mine was made from 1878 to 1920. The pattern or mold is called Virginia Rose...Thanks Candy...I think it's beautiful too. I thought it was so elegant when I was a child...

Well, Tweets is off to the Vet, I gotta go...

I

collect vintage Fender Basses. This is a picture of me with one of my favorites, a 1965 Fender Precision, in rare "Lake Placid Blue" finish.

 

[Smithen]

Now I feel like a little kid, I collect Legos and Nerf guns, I mainly like the Star Wars Legos and I always take apart the Nerf guns and take the air restrictors and stuff out of them to make them shoot alot farther lol. I'm also starting to collect and build black powder firearms. Just getting started on that though so I don't have much.

My room is such a mess! That's why I haven't been on in a bit, I'm grounded Maybe I'll take a picture later and you will see how bad it is!

It would be kinda' fun to see the "before" and the "after!"

Kay, I'll post them tomorrow or the next day, whenever I finish cleaning it.
