i do have this habit of collecting things that i like like pillows. they say that our collection is a great veil. there's something inside us that we can't get over with. it's an unhealthy lifestyle and it ruins our relationship with our loveones. do you believe in that. i was a bit scared on that fact, if it's really a fact. i don't think that im like that. what's your reasoning?

Yes I have a habit of collecting coins of different years and style. I have serialwise coins. In different ways I am collecting. I am trying to collect foreign countries' coin also. It is little bit difficult but possible. Your habit of collecting pillows is really good one but need lot of space to keep them. How do you maintain it, really amazing. Do you collect pillows of different countries ?

collecting pillows form different countries is quite expensive and impossible for me because im just a mere ordinary citizen with the minimum wage in our area. my pillows were quite a number now because my friends gave them to me. they know i love pillows and every occassions they prefer pillows as gifts for me.

Collecting pillows, that's certainly something different !!! Have you ever try to store/keep them in a space (vacuum) bags. It will take little space and you pillow will stay clean, nice and away from termite. For me, collecting things that you like is pretty normal as long as it won't need you to sell your house for buying them. If you still love them and as you said it is pretty expensive...why don't you try to find a good bargain on the internet such as an Ebay or local auction ??? You'll never know someday in the future it will be a worth collecting for your children. I'm pretty much collecting almost a bit of everything while my husband collect local old coins and of course my daughter collect toys.

i think is a one way of releasing your stress, although you invested money to it, when you go home you will see those things and the stressing moods change to happiness. i do collect pillows also, when i am sleeping at night, i have 8 pillows, i like it to be very comfy.
