I was watching a show last night and it was talking about people collecting bottles. It was really quite interesting in how the people would go about finding these old bottles and some of them are really valuable. I got so interesed that I started reading blogs about collections. I found people collecting all kinds of things. Like bottle caps and matchbooks. I just wondered how many here have a collection, what it is and how you got started collecting it?

I collect coins and minerals... I like so much because in the coins is possible see the history of the humanity and in the minerals you can see the history of the world

That is neat. I've thought about collecting coins, but never have really gotten started.

Sure! Minerals could react the history and coins could raise itself value as Money. XiXi

I have a collection of wolf nicknacks and statues. i also have framed pictures and stuffed animals. Anything that i came across when i was 16-19 years old that had to do with wolves i scarfed up. I dont know if any has any value or not but i like them and enjoy collecting them. I really havent gotten any new ones for some time and right now they are in a storage box in the closet because there are too many little fingers about and they would get broke.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Wolfs are a good idea. I bet some of them are worth something. And the longer you keep them the more valuable they will be.

I don't really collect anything per say. I used to collect coins, but I stopped that many years ago. I embarked on stamp collecting but it was not the most interesting to me. I even collected shells for awhile. I have such a short attention span I can't continue doing something for too long, or I will lose interest in it, lol!


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Oh, I started a collection of shells once too. But, then I couldn't find any big enough to really be pretty. My neighbor has some nice ones that she has used to landscape an area by her pool.


myLot reputation of 98/100. mamasan34 (4084)   ranked 119 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Finding big shells is not too easy that is for sure. i lived near the beach and would go often in the mornings early and search the beach for them. My daughter loved to do that when she was little, we had quite a nice collection of pink conch shells. I used to tell her you could hear the beach inside the shells and she would walk around for awhile with it to her ear saying she didn't hear anything, so she would go pick another one and walk around with that one, and think that one was defective too. hhahahah! It kept her busy!


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

That is so cute about your daughter. Living by the beach is one of my dreams.

I collect John Deere tractors and memorabilia...when we bought our new house 3 years ago...I decided to decorate my kitchen in John Deere ....I have the plates, the canisters, the bowls, the pitcher, the serving platters, the dessert plates, the cookie jar.....I even recovered the cushions on my chairs in John Deere fabric....I have matching oven mitts, place-mats, photos on the wall of different years of John Deere tractors....dishtowels...

There is a shadow box over the kitchen sinks...which holds my minatures....a photo frame...salt & pepper shakers....a knife in a wooden case in the shape of a tractor....

The larger tractors are on top of the cabinets which has an opening approximately 12" from the ceiling...it is the perfect size....

I love my unique kitchen.....


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

That is such a neat idea! You need to take a picture and let us see your kitchen.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tinamwhite (1966)   ranked 312 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

I have enclosed a photo of my kitchen table and chairs..it shows the place-mats, a John Deere bandana, the fabric that I covered the chair cushions with....it also shows my big trashcan in the kitchen....LOL



myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Thanks for the photo. You are very creative, I love those placemats. Now I want to re-do my kitchen.


myLot reputation of 98/100. tinamwhite (1966)   ranked 312 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

I have really enjoyed decorating my kitchen in the John Deere motiff...I have added a photo of my cnnister set which sits on topof my chest style freezer....in the background is the curtain to my patio window....the curtain if the only thing that I have yet to replace witht he John Deere Design and I am looking for a fabric that I like to make this curtain.....

Re-decorating is fun!!



myLot reputation of 98/100. tinamwhite (1966)   ranked 312 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

I love to collect things. My children tried to get me to collect shot glasses, but I could never get into it, I guess cause I associate the shot glass with something that I might use, which is never. Nowdays I collect crystal pieces and cookbooks.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

Those are nice things to collect.

I collect salt and pepper shakers. My grandmother used to collect them. She gave me her collection so I have continued to collect them. I also like collecting thimbles from different places I visit.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

That is great to be continuing with your grandmother's collection.

I started collecting dragons quite a few years ago now and then expanded into gargoyles too. My house is full of them, ranging from the little pocket dragons to a five feet tall stone dragon. I have always loved dragons and other wierd creatures but I think I may well have to start thinking about reducing the collection as it has taken over the house.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

That would be an exciting collection.

I collect Gone With The Wind items. I have a lot of Scarlet and Rhett Christmas ornaments from Hallmark, Franklin Mint Scarlet O'Hara doll. Department 56 Tara House and a couple of pictures from the scenes in the movie. I would love to collect more things related to Gone With The Wind but my guest bedroom just isn't big enough to accomodate everything.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Sherry12 (1972)   ranked 129 out of 32,962 in life  5 years ago

That is really a nice thing to collect.
