I have too many collections and really should downsize. But of these are my collection of sailboat coffee and tea pots by purolater. It started with one of my grandmothers pots and has grown to eleven. I just lovingly washed them last night. Do you have a collection of something you love?

I have a collection of bells. I have brass dinner bells, crystal bells, ceramic bells, just many different types, come old and some not so old. I have over 100 of them and not any two the same. I have some from maybe one inch tall to about 5 or 6 inches tall.

hi jill! 
i love my sticker and card collection of my favorite anime Sailormoon. i have been collecting sailormoon stuffs since i was in high school and until now, i still buy sailormoon stuffs whenever i see one. i even hid the sailormoon sticker booklet my niece bought so that she would think she just lost it. 
i did ask her where did she bought it and she said it was the last one so i didn't give it back to her.
i put all my stickers and cards in albums and i look at them once in a while. too bad i had to throw my sailormoon candy wrapper collection because the ants messed them. .

you're kidding me? you don't know what is an anime jill?? are you serious? or you're just pulling my leg? 
anime, or animation, is a Japanese term that pertains to cartoon shows of Japan. they are different from cartoons. when you say cartoons, you think of Disney, carebears, dora, etc. when you say anime, you think of animation from Japan. they are so very different from each other. while cartoons mostly are intended for children, anime has a wider audience, from children to adult. and the animation is clearly different. anime characters mostly have big large eyes which are often said to be the frustrations of Japanese because Japanese has very small eyes. but nowadays, many anime characters has small eyes but still has the distinct characteristics of anime one of which is the sharper features.
maybe you know dragonball. its an anime. digimon, pokemon. those are animes.

Is your collection full size or miniatures? Sounds very interesting.
I do have a collection but can't wash them. They are matches from several states as we traveled. Probably not a real safe collection to have in the house but I was going to eventually only keep the matchbook covers and throw away the actual matches. I also have a quarter collection that was started about 2 years ago. It's been fun and interesting.

This photo shows part of a tea set I got from my mother whom got it from a family friend that lives in South Africa. It is cups, saucers, sppons, and a teapot made of steel. There are 6 cups in the set. The cups come out of the black casings to wash. I have had these since my mother feel ill to cancer and she had them for 10 years or so before then. They are treasured and will be our daughters once we feel it is her time to have this family treasure etc.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hi Jill I have an umintentional collection of thimbles which started when my eldest daughter visited somewhere with her school and bought me one home, since then wherever she has gone I have always been bought back one, but I don't buy for me nor does anyone else so it is her special collection to me. There are two things that I personally have bought a lot for myself and that is sculptured candles and angels. I have a beautiful statue of an angel with her wings protecting a family beneath them, that is my favourite and I treated myself to it, it was I just have to have from the moment I saw. I have a cute little teddy ca with angel wings, which I call Angel Cat and she travels with me in my car. I have one teapot which is in the shape of a dressing table which is beautiful but have never used, I have as an ornament, sounds like you have quite a collection happening there. Ellie :D
