When I was in elementary school, sticker books and sticker collecting was a big thing. I also collected white rocks. I don't know why, but I had a collection of them. I would also collect seashells. My daughter is 4 and just getting in to collecting things. There will be a pile of stuff and I will ask her "what is all of that?". She just says, "my collections". It isn't even all of one kind of thing. It makes me smile!

I used to collect stickers, WWF cards and cricket cards. My brother had a very unusual collection that included match boxes, powder tims and all the garbage. My mom used to throw all these junk out and he used to get it back. He really gave mom a tough time.

When I was a little kid I used to collect pretty rocks and stones that I'd find on trips, and around our farm here. I had all kinds of different Mica, luckystones, etc. My favorite to find was trilibites in fossilized rocks back by our stream bed down in the gorge. Some of the fossilized rocks found are at the history museum in the city here. I still am kind of a rock hound, lol, except now I put them in my garden for everyone to enjoy (instead of in a shoebox under my bed hahaha)

You know I really did not collect much of any thing when I was young. But I do collect things now. I have a massive copper collection. I also so like to get as much brass things as I can. I guess pictures but then most people probably collect them.

I used to collect stamps and photos when I was a young kid. I still keep them there in the study. They remind me of those happy days when looking at the photos and stamps.

I use to collect coins and hats. After college and getting married I lost interest. Now I don't even know where my collection is. I remember giving away most of my hats. My parenst may have sold my coin collection.
