My husband and I have been collecting coffee mugs from each state we visit (other mugs too) We would like them to all be cobalt blue, they look so pretty. Many of them are trimmed in gold, but one we got on the upper peninsula of Michigan is decorated in copper, because of the copper mines. Tell me about your collections.

I have a collection of dust, and dirty laundry..lol I could not resist that one. I have never really collected anything. My oldest daughter is into roosters, so I try to get as much rooster stuff as I can. My Mom collects depression glass. I love to go to flea markets, and have thought about starting a collection of something, but never do. I guess I just don't want more things to dust..lol

That is a fun collection. I have several from my mom's collection and some I collected while working in a preschool. I think I will use them to decorate a Christmas tree sometime.

Actually I did respond to all these discussions by posting my collection of collections. I stopped this behavior however because it became clear that MyLot members did not like my collection of collections based on my dropping star rating. So I stopped posting this in peoples discussions. Sorry if you were in any way annoyed by my having posted it in yours.

I can't really say I collect anything, but a visitor to my house would think I collect dogs. I have worked in children's and youth ministries for nearly 30 years. Several years ago two of my young people each gave me a dog. (ornament, not live) I must have enthused about them a bit too much and they continued it, constantly asking me where they were and what they were doing. The idea caught on and one after another, young people started bring me dogs, especially at Christmas, birthdays etc. I now have 90 dogs, and I have only bought one of them, but I do like my dog collections and memories of the young people who gave them to me.

I love to collect tiny little tea sets. Everytime I see one I or my family (even friends) will purchase one to add to my collection. My room has a special shelf that goes all the way around to display my little tea sets. Every once in a while my daughter and I will dress up in these crazy outfits with feathered hats and have a tea party with a set that she picks out.

You will have a collection of memories too! I would love to see a picture of one of those tea parties._

I collect two things. I started collecting shot glasses from each state we visit, and sometimes from an attraction in the state, such as Mt. Rushmore. Sadly, the one place we have visited the most (each year for about 10 years) was Holden Beach, NC., and I had not started collecting the shots at that time. So I don't have one! I continuously watch ebay and haven't even seen one there! I also have a magnet collection from each place that we visit. The shot glasses are kept in the house while the magnets are on a board that my hubby made that stays in our camper with us!

When we moved I cleared out a bunch, but not the state mugs. I should do a picture sometime, but it will not be while Mickey and Tink are here, they would manage to break some, I am afraid.

My main collection is movie on dvd. I have about 140 movies on dvd that I watch. Some I will watch numerous times and some only once but I love movies. I have a variety of movies ranging from action, sports, drama, horror, comedy and romances. I also collect coffee mugs and keychains. Most of my mugs are from within the state and have about 15 mugs so far.

Well, I have a rather large book collection. I collect my favorite authors. I have a few old books that are worth money... but nothing major. I also collect coins from other countries. I have a stamp collection my mom started when I was a baby. I collect Japanese and Kawaii stationary and stickers. I collect postcards. We have large music collection too. And a lot of stuff with monkeys on them. And we have started collecting state magnets whenever we visit a new state, as well as shot glasses for places that we visit.
