You could probably donate snowglobes to a local nursing home or something like that. Snowglobes are so beautiful and make people happy. Just a thought! I'd say send them to me - but I have no room! LOL!!!
Hugs,
Janet
Fishing gear,and anything i can find on our demos and remodels and clean ups or that people give away thats worth money to sale...
Nauty do not throw away your beanie babies, maybe donate them to a children's hospital or home in your area. I collect beanie babies, paperweights, fenton glass. I have chickens and roosters all over my kitchen...oh I guess I collect my husband too. lol

OK i donated my wife no one has pm me for the last time she is a 1960 mod lots of mileage but makes great buttermilk biscits, I'll let her go real cheap who will take $10 to come and get her? I do have a good collection of arrow heads and 1 tomahwk head that my dad found aroun 1920 or so prefect condition>
Coke and Pepsi bottles from all over the world. One bottle to taste and one to "display"
= )
I'd love to see pix of the old matchlock rifle. Those were some beautifully made weapons. Loading and firing one of those things in battle was an art form. Talk about having to do a series of complex tasks while the enemy is charging down on you... all to take one shot!
I used to have a collection of japanese weaponry, as well as "artifacts" that were part of the japanese mythology and and spiritual culture.
I also had a collection of TSR's 1st edition D&D books from my geek days that would start a riot at a gaming convention today if I still had it.
Nauty.......You could try local shelters, hospitals, even the police dept. The Sheriff's dept. here used to take up teddy bear collections every year. They actually gave them to children that were taken into custody because their mother or father, or both were arrested. It gave the kids something to hug. I can only imagine how traumatic that would be for a kid.
I have about 80 or More ! Beanie Babies......Was going to throw them all away, but I probably should donate them......any ideas?.......most are in very clean and perfect condition. I can't believe I fell into that one.........Never fell into the Cabbage Patch doll thing......thank God....those things creeped me out ! eww
Nauty.............
I have some interesting artifacts from my grandpa who was in WW1.....
Fishing gear and anything that has to do with the ocean or fishing and polished mineral.
I collect angels. If it has wings I will buy them. I usually search thrift stores yard sales and flea markets. I have 2 curio cabinets packed. They keep them dust free. I also have a Tall shelf (5 shelves) it doesn't have a single spot left on it. I now stack on each other. I too am a pack rat. Even my kids tell me that. I love looking at my collection. Many of them have stories behind them along with special memories. I shall never part with them as long as I am in my right mind.
From guns to boy scout patches...interesting!
There are a lot of military collectors. Nice. Do you display them?
Terry
I collect weapons ..... mostly firearms, but also some edged weapons. Some of the firarms go back to cap and ball. matchlock, and an even larger collection of unique ammunition for weapons..... some plain rare ... like armor piercing incendiary trace for 7.62 Com Bloc ammo...........and just a few grenades. I also collect Boy Scout Patches!

I have a lot of everything. Its hard to throw things away. Then if I do, my wife wanted to keep it? Go figure.
Nauty, I sent you an email. I haven't heard from you in a while!
Ohh forgot to tell you I have added some pictures of my babies!!
Terry
One of my cats (Esther) was the best watch dog. If someone knocked on the door or rang the bell she growl. She hated everybody except me. She hit everybody but to me she was purrfect! Slept in arms everynight, met me at the door got really angry when I would bring out a suitcase for traveling. I had her for 19 years. Would take her nail and band on the food bowl for food or water. She like her wather warm HA!
Miss her,
Terry
Jim, that reminds me of a Heinlein story called "The Door into Summer."
The hero of the book travels about with a cat as his sometime companion. the cat (during winter) demands that all the doors in the house be opened regularly so he can check if summer is on the other side yet. The main character assumes he's looking for "the door into summer". :-)
