this is a sample of some of the painting - this is actually my son's old toy box; I like the lid the best thou
15289I am a hoarder but am trying to get rid of stuff I don't use except for my PIG collection
76409I collect Fonts, Barbies and Embroidery Threads. I really like knowing that the threads are right there when I want to make something. So I asked my friends to give me embroidery threads for my birthday. I collected Vintage Vogue patterns until 1992. After Hurrican Andrew came through Southern Dade County and destroyed all of my patterns I just did not have the heart to do it again.
4349I collect Boyds Bears the small resin boxes that open and some of the boyds resin fiqures.

I'm going to have to look this one up on Google. I have no idea what they are.
28254I USED to collect a variety of things..vintage toys,madam alexander dolls, matchbox cars, keychains, matche books, then I started collecting dust bunnies on top of all so I cleaned house one day and told my 5 children come and get what you want...Now I have a very small collection of garden heads that adorn the top of my kitchen cabinets they are quite a conversation piece and they make me smile...dust bunnies aren't to bad to clean from these..and my embroidery designs don't collect dust bunnies so I opted to keep this collection going.During the holiday season I add festive winter caps to all my lil guys pictured below.
11259I collect shot glasses. I have a glass for every state and country we have visited.
2360I collect teaspoons, when ever we travel I buy a spoon for my collection, and my children also bring me spoons back as a gift when they travel. Also Shoes, Embroidery threads and fabric,lace and ribbon. Well we in a 4 bedroom house and my DH always says how come there is no space in any of the cupboards - there are only 2 of us in the house now ??? Hugs Yvonne

My mother collected the demitass spoons from all over too! Your post brought back sweet memories for me..I have inherited her collection and I just may have to pull them out and see if I can buy the spoon racks to display them as I don't know what happened to the ones she had..
132773i colect angels i love angels i just like feeling them all around me my second choice is snow white things i have always loved snow white i was kinda like her as a child always cleaning and cooking for the family i did not have a child hood at all
1226I collected Barbie Dolls--notice USED to. Not anymore. I have so many, and if I don't have a grand-daughter, they are OUT OF HERE! They are not the same anymore :(
My daughter couldn't believe it when I started collecting them. She reminded me of what I used to tell her--"They are all the same, just different clothes". I should have taken my own advice :)

I remember when you used to buy a Barbie and the clothes came seperate. I guess Mattel figured out the way to make more money was to sell the dolls and outfits together.
12707I have collected mice figurines since I was a child. Somehow all but three of those were lost in my parents move but still have too many. Employees at work have added to my collection over the years, a Woodland series that is just the cutiest ever. Also sewing collectibles. I still have my doll collection too. I use to collect local cookbooks when we were moving around a lot.
46153Shoes really bad have been officially cut off. Dh says cant possibly wear them all. I however change my shoes 5-7 times a day sometimes especially like sandals.
Fabric what dh dont know dont hurt right. And of course embroidery designs and thread. Really neat idea thanks Mickey.

What woman doesn't love shoes? I'm a city girl who now lives on a farm. I take out my precious heels and look at them adoringly and wonder.... Will I ever wear them again? But I won't part with any of them.

Ditto, Mickey. Heels, sigh, I'd probably fall if I tried to walk in those spikes now, but still....
1284320077What a good thing to share.. I think all of us are collectors at heart, otherwise we wouldn't be collecting emb. patterns!! My DH reminds me that once I have 2 of something I start a collection( ha, ha)
Interesting that someone else collects hatpins, and eggs! I also collect silver and cookbooks (I have over 1000 hardcovers ) and of course fabric...it is such good insulation..ha, ha, ha!
24424It's funny how we all love to collect 'things'. I hv a real thing for material; I used to collect miniture doll-house furniture, dolls, stamps. Over the years things get packed away becuz you move & they just don't re-surface much. I still hold these things close to my heart thou; aging can not take all the kid out of us!
15289I love growing orchids, (which I have to collect first). old cookery books and sewing books - they have to be over 50 years old. Plus all the bits and bobs that go with sewing/embroidering

I grew orchids in Calif. Had to give them away when we moved up here. I don't seem to have the same luck now. Boy I sure do miss them.
114520I collect clothing, a whole closet full of varying sizes down from the ones I am currently wearing. I will fit them again one day LOL. I also collect socks and underwear; I do laundry out at a laundrymat and if you have a drawer of each you do not have to do it so often. In a one bedroom apartment that is all the room I have for collecting, besides the fabric and eb thread and designs of course.
873Mickey, this is a cute idea. I collect hearts, butterflies, bears and crystal bells. I haven't added to any of them for years - other than through my FSL collection. Matter of fact, I am not really sure that I have many of any of them, any more. Hehehe!
211078I collect stamps, and also all the postalcars that I receive. *4U
