Me, I am a  mid century modern antique collector. Just love all the stuff form the 60's and 70' But it has to be the high end stuff. eames, Danish modern.
The bug bit me hard and I liked 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

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.
