I collect Santas....I respect his gift giving nature, lol....na, I just like him...he's da man...sorry JoAnn, you're da man too and all, but he's first....

I also collect plates..and my husband and my father-in-law made me a nice plate rack..I need them to make a couple more because I have alot of them (plates).

I also, btw, dig elephants for the same reason you do....and I love all animals..gorillas are a personal favorite of mine....I also collect books and jewelry...well, he!!, come to think of it, cooking stuff too, books, tools, all that stuff...but the only thing I collect for display are Santas, and plates.

I walked in the kitchen for more coffee and forget my ST Claire paper weights- and Capodimonte, which is porcelain flowers from Italy.

[Jacqui805]

Nice.....

Ya know, it might be nice if someday we could put up pics of our collections...although my Santas wait until the proper season to display them....

I collect stuff, mostly computer parts, tools, car parts, broken items, you get the idea. I know I will use everything someday, that is if I can find it when I want it.

All kidding a side I collect money from different countries. Most of what I have is from places I have been or from friends that have gone some where, so it has meaning.

[Jacqui805]

I have some Canadian money you can have....lol

[lostdreams]

I collect

Me-to-You teddy bears.....ok i think everyone is getting to see i am a big baby! Admitted i suck my thumb in another post and now admitted i collect teddy bears (only the Me-To-You ones though). LOL

Oh and anything about Angels...i have loads of stuff about Angels. Magazine articles, books, pictures....that kinda stuff.

[Jacqui805]

You're cool kiddo, don't sweat your teddy bears!  My mother-in-law collects angels too...she has a lot of nice ones too..

[sadinmichigan]

[mimi1313]

my aunt collected elephants. She had some really nice ones. There is a picture of an elephant and a little girl sitting down together with their backs to the camera. Its really cool.

[Jacqui805]

I refer to elephants as "eggants" btw.....that's what I called them as a kid apparently...and rhinoceroses (sp, lol) were frynosters...I have no idea why I shared that here, but it is Friday, so can that be my excuse?

[10356]

Jacqui you crack me up eggants :)))  I have seen that Handsome Gorilla you picked up..
My sis also collect Santas :) And I too have a lot of books but only 4 Cook books I live in Fantasy Land :))))

Lost I can see you cuddled up with your bear, bankie and thumb while your Angles watch out after you, but we won't tell :)))) JK I have 5 bears my Son's and Hubby have given me they are precious..

Sad I too have a sm. collection of Indian stuff I have a fascination with the culture and the spiritual beliefs..

[lostdreams]

10356:  OMG...thats me all over!!!! I even have a certain pillow that i cuddle with one bear and my thumb......life couldnt get any better! LOL

[seeksolice]

I collect turtles.

For me, turtles signify wisdom, peace, beauty, tranquility. I <3 turtles.

Not sure how many I have, but I have turtle candles, turtle clothing, turtle earrings, turtle stickers, turtle statues, turtle wall decor, turtle knick knacks.

[Jacqui805]

okay lostdreams....don't tell anybody this, shhhhhh.....but I have a stuffed black dog that I lay with...I saw it at Toys R Us when my kids were younger, and I wanted it so badly...my husband bought it for me...it fits perfectly for laying with as comfort, and a pillow, and a cushion for my boo-boo ribs...

Hey, I thought of something here....do unintentional collections count?  If so, I have a "collection" of magazines, material and yarn, art supplies, jewelry-making supplies, clothes that are too small, movies, CDs, and just tons and tons of books......

[lostdreams]

Jacqui: LMFAO......I suppose all that stuff does count as collectables. LOL.
And ok....i promise not to tell anyone about the stuffed black dog!!!  *sssshhhhhhh*

[joann1975]

Lost...I think that is sweet!!!

Ok if I had the space I would collect Snowmen and Santas...

But I currently have Longaberger Baskets... but due to costs and seeing as how I should feed my kid...I don't purchase them anymore! But I have enough to get by for now! :)

I love elephants...but again the space....

Vic..you & my husband too...he takes up more space than me w/his hunting & fishing stuff... I will lay claim to some of the camping stuff since I camp too... but we need a whole well...like he wants Hunting Cabin for that stuff!!! LOL

I would then decorate that cabin in cool hunting, fishing, camping bear themed stuff! But in a nice manly way!

[troubleinohio]

im the biggest pack rat in th world I think...i collect everything. Primarily books. More books than I could ever read in my entire life, even if i read 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but that doesnt stop me from buying more. I also collect Scooby Doo things, windchimes, animal and nature nick knacks/ceramics,  candles,... and fridge magnets  

[Jacqui805]

I LOVE knicknacks!!!!!  I have a lot of them too, lol....apparently I'm a pack rat too...I have a hard time letting anything go, either for sentimental reasons, or just that I hate to get rid of anything that still functions, or that I might use someday, lol...much to my husband's chagrin...   I also like to be surrounded by cool and pretty stuff...no harm there I suppose eh?

[Jacqui805]

oh, and I forgot games....board, and video..I have TONS of video games...and they're all MINE, ha ha ha ha ha!  

[LIZZIE LOU]

in my younger years, i used to collect men...lol...now i just collect dust!!!

[HR_PuffnStuff]

I Love Lucy stuff  and Amish stuff. I have Amish books, dolls, and hats, and little Amish boy and girl clothes hanging on a peg hook. My husband can't stand it.

[bandnmom]

I collect Disney Globes! The musical ones. I have about 15 of them but when i find one i love i just have to have it. Kids are not allowed to touch them. My fav of course being Winnie the Pooh Bear ones. I have this awesome one that is actually open and they all are ice skating around. They are so pretty.
