myLot reputation of 93/100. Mommamea (710) 6 years ago

I look around my house and think where did all this stuff come from? Then I realized I've been collecting for over 39 years. I have a collection of Porcelain Dolls. I have dolls from Geppeddos, dolls from Japan, Germany, Italy, and many other countries I've traveled to. Probably 200 through out the house and in boxes. I have a collection of Snow Globes of all sizes. What kinds of things do you collect? Is this a hobby or do they just accumulate? Are your collectibles valuable? Did you start the collection or did someone start it for you?

I don't collect things on purpose they just seem to accumulate! I guess I have an angel collection but I finally had to tell people to stop bringing them to me because I was out of room. You could have one heck of an auction on ebay if you ever decide to part with your collections!

lol true as it is


myLot reputation of 93/100. Mommamea (710)  6 years ago

Yes space does become an issue. After a while it starts to look like junk to some people. I probably should sell off some of them but they all have a special meaning to me and I can't seem to part with any of them. Maybe one day I will pass them to my daughters. Thank you for the response.

How do you keep them all clean? What kind of cars? Does he put them together himself? Thanks for the response.

I too have collected things from all over the world. I have a theme for each room in my house. People say I have an international home. You can change rooms and your mood changes with each move. What do you collect beer cans for? I have a few hummels myself. Thank you for responding.

I must remember when my husband starts talking "decluttering" that my stuff is collectibles, not clutter


myLot reputation of 93/100. Mommamea (710)  6 years ago

I get the picture. My husband is a very neat organized clean person too. He thinks we should declutter and throw everything out. I remind him often that If we had thrown that out when you wanted to we wouldn't have it now. LOL...

I have a large collections of toys (Transformers; Zoids; Soul Of Chogokin (SOC); Gundams; Ikki Tousen; Please Teachers; Pia Carrot; Evangelion; G-taste;) But most of the gundams, pia, please, eva, ikki and G-taste are sold already due to money strain).


myLot reputation of 93/100. Mommamea (710)  6 years ago

What are things? I don't know that I have ever seen them. Are they toys? I would like to know more about them. Where would I find these things and how would I know what they are? Thanks for peaking my interests.

I started collecting porcelain dolls because my family started giving them to me when I was a baby. I have moved quite a bit so most of my dolls stay at my parents house. I do have a few at my house. They may never amount to much money but they are beautiful to look at.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Mommamea (710)  6 years ago

You would be suprised at what porcelain dolls do amount to. Have you ever had them appraised or searched to find the worth of them? Anyway they must be worth alot to you and that I think amounts more than money. It's the sentimental aspect.


myLot reputation of 95/100. babygrl22004 (108)  5 years ago

I agree that collectibles may have more sentimental value than any price could be put on these items. My children like to think that they are mommies untouchables and they love to just sit and talk to them. I have a few that my mother and I made together that my two year old has adopted as his own he loves to sit around holding it and talking to it, I love thinking that I can one day pass my collectibles down to my children as well.

I tend to love vintage things, and after many trips to the thrift store and the odd flea market (where things are probably too cheap for my own good) I seem to have developed collections of vintage: cookbooks, tableclothes, glasses, plates and platter, lights and lamps, clothing, accessories, hats, craft books, jewelry, purses, shoes, suitcases (which I store some of my vintage accessories in), tea pots and tea sets, and enamelware.

Most of these things I started for myself, but my Mom keeps an eye out for things for me that she knows that I'll like (generally around the late 40s through the 50s is a pretty safe bet, and she has a good eye.) I've always liked older things, but my collections really started in the last place I lived, that had a super cheap thrift store near by, so I'd stop in a lot, and found some truly great stuff. Now I just keep going, and I treat it rather like a treasure hunt. Also, when my grandmother died a few years ago, I took on a bunch of her things.

Is any of it valuable? I don't really know. Some of it has a bit of collectible value - the tableclothes, and especially the Veras, the glassware and hobnail do, and I'm sure I could do reasonably well if I opened my own online vintage store to sell all the lovely clothes that I've collected (and wear) - but I don't really think about value. I buy what I love. It just so happens that there's a lot of it.
