Are you a collector? I know I am. I have an odd assortment of items I enjoy having just because they make me feel good to have them around. Most of these items arn't worth much except to me .Here's a partial list of my montly crew. Candles, Cobalt Blue "anything", lol, Wine related items like pictures, bottles, glasses ect., and baby spoons .

What kinds of things do you collect and why?

I used to collect angels but then everyone started giving me boxfulls of them. I finally had to say enough! I collect willow tree figures too, just because I think they are so pretty. I also love candles, especially the highly scented ones. I try not to collect things anymore because it makes it harder to dust!

Hi loved1,

You are sooo right about the dusting thing, Gosh it's so time consumming! It's not the shelves and furniture it's all the moving and washing the objects .

My daughter who lives with me collects Buddas and OMG they are Sooo hard to clean! Some of them are very detailed.

Thanks for responding!

Let's see where do I begin,lol. Actually, there are only three categories I collect, black bears (just not live ones lol), fire fighting items, usually old and unusual, and law enforcement collectibles. Oh and one collection that comes out at this time of year, my snowmen.


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonbutters (990)   ranked 621 out of 25,435 in people  10 months ago

LOL . You sound like me, a wide range of interest there. Black Bears to Law Enforcement, and myself, Baby Spoons to Wine Bottles.

Thanks!

Been collecting the firefighting stuff for bout 12 yrs now, ever since I became one (wildland actually), then I met my boyfriend who is in law enforcement, and fell in love with black bears when I moved 1600 miles to the northeast from Texas. lol and started collecting snowmen years ago

Hi pinay,

Thanks for posting! So you don't actually wear the shoes or undergarmets but just collect them? I'd want to wear them all if it was me . lol . I'd better stick to non wearables . Like my candles, I do burn some of them .

Hi Moonbutters,

I like to collect figurines of Chooks. I have chooks with dangle legs, chooks on plates, chooks on swings, chooks on boxes with eggs inside and fridge magnets of chooks. I am now going to make a table runner out of chook fabric.


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonbutters (990)   ranked 621 out of 25,435 in people  10 months ago

LOL,

Thank you again goodie! I absolutly love getting you'r responses .

I failed to mention my "Farm Animal" collection . I'm really having a hard time fitting the farm animals in with the wine bottles . LOL . Now I'm doing " farm " in the kitchen and "Wine" in the dinning room. So,,,, Hmmm. If I happen to have a guest that's had one too many and they wonder into my kitchen from the dinning room, it's entirely possible they would puke. Major contrast.

LOL,

Why Thank You Moonbutters, That is very nice of you to say so.
I Love Nice figurines it adds colour to an otherwise dull room.
How the dickens are you going to get farm animals into wine bottles.(Hope they are already dead)LOL. I have seen ships in bottles but not animals.That is a great idea, all you need to do it dust the bottles, not hundreds of figurines.
I normally just put mine in the kitchen sink with warm water and dish washing liquid to clean them.

I Love shoes.It's my passion.I buy lots of those.Maybe I should consider that as a collection.I always feel happy seeing those lovely shoes.and whenever I go to mall,even without any plans at all,if saw a cute pair of shoes,for sure..I will buy that..


myLot reputation of 96/100. moonbutters (990)   ranked 621 out of 25,435 in people  10 months ago

That's a good choice! And then if you feel like it you can actually wear them so they arn't just dust collectors like my stuff .:)

I collect piggy banks and Precious Moments figurines. I have 15 piggy banks and the money I make from MyLot mostly goes in them. The figurines are just collected b/c I love them.

I actuallythink it's human nature to collect things. I don't know anybody who doesn't collect something or other. Even young children have their little treasures. I collect books, ninteenth century English ironstone and those glass fishing floats that held up the nets. I only collect the blue, green and amethyst floats. Don't know why. I also am constantly picking up little smooth pebbles and shells and interesting twiggy things. So I guess that's a collection also.
