            If you collect things, what do you collect? 
I collect Boyds Bears. I used to collect Magnets. I still like them. I like funny saying magnets, pretty magnets, and I have a bunch of country music singers magnets.
But the man thing I collect now is Boyds Bears.
I was wondering if you collect something what you collect?

                    I also collect magnets. I have some on the fridge (of course), on my file cabinets, and my most special place to display them is on a huge circular steel column that supports the spiral staircase going up to my office. 
My Mom love butterflies had a lot of them when she moved into a personal care home. People always said she had butterflies flying around in her energy field. Whenever I see the butterfly magnets I think of Mom, flying free with her beloved butterflies hovering around her. So my magnet butterflies are very important to me.
I also collect owls...uh who would have thunnk? Choosing an owl for an Avatar is a slight clue. I have pictures, small pewter collectables (picture in photo gallary) owl feathers I received from a Native Elder and yes, owl magnets too. 
Interesting question, will be fun to read about members and their collectibles.

                            Perspectives,
Thank you for your reply. I like butterflies also and I can certainly see why they are important to you.
I thought this question was interesting, but I didn't get many replies. I was wanting to learn more about each person on here. 
Thanks again.

                    I collect I Love Lucy stuff,snowmen,and cows. My kitchen is quite full of cow stuff and at Christmas time the snowmen fight the cows for show space. i keep telling my husband that we need a spare room for the snowmen that I have. I believe it is over 500 now and I add to them a lot!

                            lol about the snowman fighting the cows.
I used to have a cow kitchen but I got tired of it and sold all my stuff and painted my kitchen.
I liked Mary's Moo Moo's.
I am into boyds bears now and the country look. 
Thanks for your reply.

                    I really love to collect things when I travel. One of the things that I collect is coins and the nicest I have got is an unusual triangular one from the Cook Islands. I buy postcards from each place that I go to and so have so many of these. I have a small collection of fridge magnets from different countries. My most valued collection is my costume dolls from around the world. Many of them are hand made and quite special looking.

                    Yes actually I collect a few things. For starters some reason last year I started collecting Hot Wheels and Dub City cars. I know have something over 500 of both put together. Then I also collect Disney buttons and have a fair amount of them. Then years ago it was comic books and I got about 50 of them. After the comic books came baseball and basketball cards. Then as I got older I started to collect knives and to this day I still collecting them. I guess its more of an addiction then anything though because when I see something I like I try to get as much of that item as possible. These are just a few of my collections I have built over the cars.
