What’s Yours?

You can see in the picture, a collection of mugs from a certain Coffee Shop that is popular all over the world.
That actually belongs to my married niece, who lives with his husband in a condo in Manila and because her collection of mugs will occupy a big space which they don’t have there, she had them sent to my parents’ house where she grew up.
Well, those from other countries were brought to her by friends and acquaintances who traveled abroad. Others are mostly because of their travels in Asian countries and here in the Philippines and also whenever she goes to Canada before, related to work.
She is a fan of the said coffee shop.
By the way, when I was in high school, I collect stamps because I have lots of penpals before. I have an album of those stamps. I wonder, where they are now?
I also had a collection of Mills and Boons novels.
What’s yours?

@SIMPLYD
So people bring her mugs from all over the world when they travel? That is an awful lot of mugs? I used to collect t-shirts and hats but now not really anything. I really do not want to have to too much to decide what to do with and not room for it or a have to find a place to put them.

@sunrisefan I do collect small things only. And they are hankies. 
How nice that you use 13 of them as arrhae for your daughter's wedding.
I think old coins have high values now.

@SIMPLYD No, I don't collect Starbucks mugs coz I'm not a fan too :) I don't exactly collect but I usually keep small items like keyholders and coins (whatever comes to my hand). I even have some century-old peso coins which my mother divided among us siblings. I used 13 of them as arrhae for my daughter's wedding in 2016.

Planners. I have a collection of planners and journals from Filofax, Kikki.k, Midori, Hobonichi, etc. I wish I had LV and Kate Spade though. That's actually on my list.

@SIMPLYD I get lots of planners from the different companies we partner with but I don't use them at all as I like real leather planners or planners that I can customise and planners with great quality paper like the hobonichi. Hobonichi uses tomoe river paper so I can paint on it.

You know I get some planners yearly from our clients. I use the big one because I make it as a notebook for meeting that I attend.

Wow, and that means you always cook. So, I suppose you can cook well and deliciously. What's your favorite dish to cook in those clay pans?
Actually, I heard about that. However, if that is the case, then most of the people are having cancer already?

@SIMPLYD Cancer usually attacks when they reach middle age. I usually love soups and stews though these days I am on a liquid diet not for health reasons but I lost my appetite from my job because I am work on a slaughter house to become a Canadian. So it is all smoothies for now.

@velvet53 Formerly, our set of Britannica encyclopedia, occupied those spaces. But since they're not being used anymore, my sister, her mother placed them in an open shelf at the basement, that is formerly our study room when we were small and going to school. Now, it's a bedroom and a storeroom.

I had a rock collection as a kid. I used to collect Norman Rockwell plates. Now, I collect postcards from international travels and something small to serve as a memory. At home I collect sterling silver anything, and handbags, shoes and clothes
