what do you collect?

[kelly ann]

If this topic has been posted before, i do apologise.

If it has lets kick off a new one for 2008!!:)

My main interest at the moment is collecting Barbie Dolls, especially the Fashion Fever dolls. I started to collect them again after my daughter received a 'my first Barbie' as a gift and it has taken off from there. I now have nearly 40 dolls, a few of them are collectable ones I purchased from Ebay and recently I found out that TKMAXX has been selling Barbies imported from America at very reasonable prices. I'm lucky to live within a ten minute walk to TKMAXX so it has become something like a treasure hunt for me, I've found some amazing dolls.

wHAT DO YOU COLLECT?

[RadioJonD]

I collect Christmas Music!

[kelly ann]

How do you collect christmas music?

[Annette1990]

I like to collect Disney ornaments and also older and vintage type ornaments. I also collect character and promotional glasses...and have well over 3-4 hundred.

[kelly ann]

That's impressive Anette. My mother loves things Disney!!

[shelle02]

I have a collection of barbie dolls as well....Avon dolls, collectible yearly dolls and figurines, etc. I try to collect bridal dolls too.
I also collect unicorns, horses, fairies and my hubby collects dragons.
We both love Nascar so we both collect....him, #6, now #1, Mark Martin...and me, both Earnhardt's.
There are other things but the list could get really long!! LOL

[sugarplum fairy]

I use to collect Gorham porcelain dolls, but I have ran out of room so I am not getting anymore.

I collect pieces for my Christmas village.

How do you collect christmas music?

Thanks for asking, kelly ann! All during the year I visit pawn shops, thrift stores, used music stores and tag/yard sales looking for CDs, especially Christmas ones. My favorite place to look is in pawn shops because I never know what I might find.

The Christmas CD collection is approaching 300. I prefer the more obscure tunes because one can always hear the so called classics and traditional Christmas musical fare on the radio in season and on internet stations year 'round. When was the last time you heard "Cool Yule" by Donnie Burns?......I thought so!

Plus, I look on the internet for sources to purchase or download (legally) Christmas radio programming, podcasts, and vintage music from sharity sites. I've started a thread in the music forum us to share sources available all year or for a limited time.

This past season alone, I probably recorded and downloaded over a hundred hours worth of Christmas music programming.

I have Disney ornaments and anything disney (thanks to a recent trip to Florida and Disney!), collectors golf balls, ham radio gear, computers (goes with the job!), music, DVD's, and 2008 will see me collecting a selection of air rifles pistols as I have just got hooked on the hobby of target shooting!

[kerst]

I collect christmas tree ornaments and christmas stories. I try to find at least one new book every year.

And I collect cookbooks from all over the world. Cooking is my passion.

[novelist]

:rudolph:I collect carousel horses. I have them displayed in a cherry wood curio cabinet in my living room. AS of now, I have 30 carousels. It's a beautiful collection, all different sizes and colors. I also have several carousel christmas ornaments.
Speaking of carousels, I have a very special story to tell. On Janurary 21st of this year, it willl be 9 years ago that my husband gave me my engagement ring. He brought me to a carousel museum here in CT and while we were riding on the merry go round, he gave me my ring! I couldn't believe something so romantic was happening to me. I felt like I was reading about it in a book, or watching it on a soap opera on TV.

[scoobie]

Hahahaha.... thanks, but I think I'll pass on your most kind offer!!:snowball:

Wow! And I thought I had a lot with my 125 cds. I have over 100 Christmas albums, also. A friend just recorded about 12 of them onto cd for me. All of my Christmas music is loaded onto my computer. A Christmas song (or any other song I have) is just a click away! I LOVE it!

I also collect teddy bears. I have over 800 of those. I bought my newest last night at Kroger's. It's one of those snow globe types. I got it for 90% off. I just couldn't resist! :rudolph:

Mammaduke - do you have a mobile phone? If so some mobiles can be connected to the computer to download photos.

[Annette1990]

That's right...also if you don't have an adaptor to hook the phone to the computer then just take a pic. with your phone and send to your email address. From there you can save, send, file and add pictures to this website.

i collect belly lint

I can only guess where you keep it. Got a photo?

[Jeff Westover]

what chowderhead came up with those rules anyway? Sheesh. The world needs more belly lint collection pictures.

[dvdelf]

that the next website?

bellybuttonlint.org

[Jeff Westover]

yes, definitely a dot org. very good. We could get Al Gore to be a spokesman-- there's is incontrovertible proof that belly lint DOESN'T cause global warming.

[dvdelf]

its a safe, renewable energy source

[Jeff Westover]

its a safe, renewable energy source

Ha! Yeah!!!

[dvdelf]

[MrsH]

Didn't Gore create the internet from belly button lint???

[dvdelf]

hey some of are greatest inventions came from belly button lint

[auntieclaus]

Yep, added to dryer lint you've got the makings for a great sweater!

[dominick]

I collect junk. Almost anything I think is interesting or can be useful is fair game. It's a really bad habit of mine. Aside from that, Hotwheels, knives (though I stopped acquiring them years ago) Craftsman ornaments, golf discs/"frisbees", and X-Rays.

They're all mine. That comment was supposed to be sort of tongue-in-cheek. I had to go get some more today.

[auntieclaus]

Hope everything is A-ok.

I love junk too. Just today I went to the local thrift shop and bought 4 stamps ($1), some spring looking fabric (.50), A glass lamp shade ($2) and a journal (.50). I was thrilled!

[MrsH]

They're all mine. That comment was supposed to be sort of tongue-in-cheek. I had to go get some more today.

What did you do today?!?!?!?!?!?!

[dominick]

My right hand is a little busted up and that old shoulder injury has been especially painful this past week.

[MrsH]

I'm going to bubble wrap you!!!

By the way, I never got a chance to thank you for the PM you sent to Mike and I. It was very helpful!

[dominick]

You're welcome. Did you actually sit through it all?? I didn't even want to proof read it after I wrote it!

Unfortunately, there's a lot more to learn, too. Let me know if you have any questions.

[MrsH]

Not only did we read it, Mike printed it out!!

[Annette1990]

cheesyHope things start to look up for you.
Sorry I was a little thrown off when you said you collected X-rays.

[dominick]

Well thanks, but I've been worse.

[mammaduke]

I hope everything is ok Dominick & that you are doing better.

[Billy Battles]

I collect Disney Cinderella items. I lost a bunch when going through my divorce and a flood in the basement when I was younger ruined some also. But I usually get at least one new thing for Christmas. This past year I bought myself a Lenox Cinderella ornament on clearance after Christmas!!

[clarebear]

I don't really collect anything. I love ladybugs.. think they are so cute. I made the mistake of saying this at work once and no for everything birthday and Christmas I got a lady bug themed gift. I am also a tea junkie so I look for fun tea cups sometimes when the mood strikes. Now if someone could find me a ladybug tea cup I would be all set

[kerst]

I collect Christmas tree ornaments. Think I have enough for two trees by now. But each and every one has a special meaning as they were given to me by friends or family.

And my boss gives me a painted ostrich egg every year for christmas so I have a collection of those without having asked for it :-)

Wow...awesome Kerst. I also collect ornaments. We need to chit chat sometime...maybe even trade. I have some I don't use and also 2 of the same thing. I also think I have enough for 2 large trees. And all my mini trees I put out too. I guess I will know for sure this year because I scored and bought another 6-6 1/2 ft. tree from the local thrift store after Christmas last year. Got it for few bucks. Gotta love a bargain. And of course I am on the hunt all year long for new ornaments. =)

[bastones]

I collect computer books mainly :).

[liltattoo]

I collect shotglasses, thimbles and postcards of the places we have been. I was collecting Welsh lovespoons and Polish pottery but have stopped due to our move.

I collect antique glass bottles and jars, antique kitchen utensils (especially rolling pins), antique sleds.... I also collect carnival glass and primitive snowmen....

[xmaslilly]

I collect blown glass animals and other blown glass type items.., Halloween shot glasses,
skulls.

It's fun to read the different items that people collect.

[irishsnow]

Programmes from Football matches

[Twinkle]

For years I've collected seashells. There were so many, I decided to make Christmas ornaments with them. It's fun decorating my Christmas tree with them every year.

[Annette1990]

Hi Kellyann...
Seen this online this evening and thought I would pass it along to you since you collect barbies. Not sure if you would be interested or not. But wanted to share it.

[kelly ann]

Thanks Annette!! Ive seen these dolls on ebay and they fetch a lot more than £32 or $65 in your money. They look exactly like Elvis and Priscilla don't they?
The dolls are so much cheaper in America. Ive tried joining the Barbie fan club but its for American only, they offer great deals on dolls too.

So far my collection is well over a hundred dolls. I bought another yesterday from TK Maxx , an Irish Dancer Barbie. Tk Maxx is great for finding Barbie collectors editions which we wouldn't normally find in the shops over here.

Ill make a photo album on here soon to show you my collection.:)

[George Broderick, Jr.]

I collect blown glass animals and other blown glass type items..,

In the early 90's, I worked with a young guy whose mother workeed at the Oglebay Park (in Wheeling, WV) glass house and every year for Christmas, he gave me one-of-a-kind blown glass tree ornaments, hand painted with images of The Grinch, Stimpy (from Ren & Stimpy) and Powdered Toast Man (from Ren & Stimpy)... I treasure these irreplaceable gems in my Christmas collection...

[misjordi]

I collect angels, and Precious Moments.

[Ms_Speedy_Elf]

I collect thing's of my favorite NASCAR driver's and Amish figurene's .

[ChristmasLovers]

I used to collect CD's and music, sort of lol. I think I have about 2000 CD's, both in standard CD's and MP3 complete albums.

I've started to pick up on shot glasses, but I slacked off on my last vacation. There were a ton I wanted, but had no place to put them that they wouldn't get crushed.

I collect architecture books as well, mostly Frank Lloyd Wright and pre-70's railroad, and some museum structures.

And lastly, I collect anything to do with trains and the railroad, as well as HO scale model railroad items.

When I'm in the financial position, I'll begin collecting project cars. Most of the cars I like though are nothing special, just ones I really like. But there are just as many classics that I'd like to build as well.

[trackrebel]

I collect Sneakers....sounds expensive but it´s not....lol.....I have about 20 pairs....but I stopped throwing shoes away in 1998....so it´s alright....

I collect CDs....Hip Hop and RnB mostly....I never liked that whole downloading thing....because when I have a CD...I like to have the original printed CD, original CD Case, orignial CD-Booklet....:D.....haven´t bought so many the last 2 and half years, since my daughter is there....but before I spend a lot of CDs

If you are big on the Dukes have you ever been to Cooter's Place in Gatlinburg,TN? Pretty neat place .We met "Enos" there a couple year's ago.

[rodmonster]

Went by on the move up here once (but didn't get to actually stay) and then had planned to go back for the big fest a few years back - but was not able to.
Am dying to though. I am big ol Duke nut!
I will own a 69 Charger one day!

I wasn't going to answer this but I figured you need one person who says this...

I don't collect anything! Nope nothing. I do not like knick knacks because they just get dusty or ignored (in my house). So I don't collect anything at all.

Hello, my name is Annie and I am not a collector LOL!!!

[rodmonster]

Poor thing. God bless your heart!
We can help!
We are all friends here.
In time we can make you as addicted to a collection of sorts as the rest of us.

[BritneyBug]

I just collected the Lemax Union Fire Station! Got it from Michaels on sale =)

[Christmasstar]

tin cans, dolls, avon figurines, odd shaped pieces of wood, cherished teddies and Dutch stuff.
I still have the teddies and the Dutch stuff.
The rest I got tired of dusting so I got rid of it, don't remember how, but it is gone.
The only reason I still have the teddies is because most of them where given to me by my kids and family.
The Dutch stuff, becuase, well I have a Dutch heritage (parents came here from Holland in 1954) so that has a deep meaning for me.
Of both of these collections I'd say I have about 10- 15 of each.(don't feel like counting right now!)
I am not a lover of house work, so try to keep it down as much as possible.
I am however tempted from time to time start again, but then look at the duster and change my mind.

You?
Do you have any of the scratch n sniffs...OMG I loved those! I came across some ages ago and let me tell you the memories. It was like they still smelled the same as they did when I was in grade school. Speaking of that..a few years ago I was on line and came across some girls website where she had displayed her sticker collection. It was definitely a blast from the past viewing it. I wish I could recall the website. I will have to do a search and see if I can find it again. Also....I tried finding my d/d a sticker book like I had as a kid and I can't seem to find one. All the ones I came across are cheap and flimsy. Do kids even trade stickers anymore?

[Annette1990]

Ok I found the site(s) I had viewed in the past. I will email you the links.

[rodmonster]

YUP!
I have volumes (huge fat binders) of stickers a few books of nothing BUT scratch N sniff!
