Most of us do collect things. Some collect pretty interesting things which are unique, rare and artful. Others just collect things for some personal reasons while others just for no reason at all. I have seen many weird and unusual collection and I like them. In my case, it was just by accident that I have collected pens. I have been given nice and expensive pens which I just kept. Almost every year I receive a new pen from my friends and that was the time when I started keeping pens given to me. It may not be as many yet but I know in time another pens will be added. How about you, what’s your collection? Why did you collect them? Any story to share?

I like collecting keychains from different places. ^_^ It all started when my friends keep giving me keychains whenever they're out of town. During one of our general cleaning in the house, I noticed that the keychains they bought me were piling up! From that time on, I told myself that I'll collect at least 1 keychain from each country in the world. ^_^

I collect fish for my aquaria. Theres a family of fish called Cichlids. There are over thousand different species in that family. I collect those that are in the hobby. Some are very rare and very costly.

My collection would be rocks,I have no idea what so ever why but i just do. Actually I have a veryintresting story about one rock i did find. I was sitting in my school field when i look down and i found this rock that had a face on it. No it wasn't drawn on, it was just the way the rock looked that gave it a face. I ended up using a sharpie marker to fill in the eyes though so now it looks like a little smiley face.

I used to collect unicorns as a child. My room was filled with them. I only have a few of them now because they have been lost or given to other children along the years and my youngest daughter like them too. She haas a few of what I collected.
