I collect teapots what do you collect?

When I was younger I use to collect rocks. I had a really good collection until my mom decided she was tired of having "dirty" rocks in her house and she got rid of them. Now I don't collect anything because I don't really have the time. I'm a college graduate student and doing school work is my main hobby now. Maybe later in life I will be able to collect something interesting.

I collect snowmen and women, firefighting stuff and law enforcement memorabilia. I figure I will count my snowmen when I put up the Christmas decorations, I've added several more this year. My s/o was talking the other day of building me some display shelves for all the firefighting stuff I have. I have shelves in the computer room for the law enforcement stuff and shelves for his harley collectibles.

I collect stickers its fun because i get to email a bunch of companies for stickers and meet new people.

i have collected many things over the years from cobalt blue glass (remember the old vicks jars?) to antique books to flower frogs (they are glass globs with holes in them that they used to put in the bottom of vases so make the flowers stand up straight) to salters (salt dishes prior to salt shakers) to salt and pepper shakers.

currently i am collecting post cards. i was give about 10 or so from the late 1930's from the detroit (michigan) area that were sent to my aunt here in ontario (canada) from her sister.

I collect books. I have tonnes of them, enough to keep me reading something new for at least the next ten years!

At the moment i am not collecting anything.For years i was collecting foreign money bills and coins, and i still have that collection.If i might add it is quite expensive, because i also have many old bills that are almost unused, bills of more than 90years old.I love opening the box and watching those money.

I started collecting snow globes a few years ago when my mother-n-law bought me a couple of really nice ones for Christmas. Then I started collecting stuffed animals when my husband and I would go shopping and he would play that claw game and he almost always wins a stuffed animal. Now he is addicted to playing it and I am addicted to collecting them. Every time we go to Wal-Mart or anywhere else that has the claw game, or whatever it is called, he has to spend at least 3 or 4 dollars on it and I end up taking home at least one every time. Sometimes I get 2. I have over 20 now and will continue to collect them as long as he continues to play the game, lol.

My hubby on the other hand collects anything with the United States flag or anything with an Eagle on it. He also collects anything Pittsburgh Steelers because that is his favorite football team. Oh I also started collecting cigarette lighters. They have these really cool ones that have lights on them and I collect them. I love collecting different things and displaying them. I would post a picture but I don't have a camera right now.:)

I try to collect my thoughts. They often run wild in many directions. I find myself jumping from one idea to another in every sentence i say while talking.

To be honest, I inadvertently collect problems.

I collected all kinds of stamps and beautiful cards before I graduated from college. But after I worked, I have no time to do this kind of collection. Even though, I still kept them and take a look them during my free time. LOL
