Just curious as to what people are collecting out there.
My collection is very interesting. I collect gargoyles and lighthouses. How funny that they are very different huh?

Yes! I love lighthouses :thumbsup:

I have collected the entire Trixie Belden mystery series. I also started to collect way-out-of-my-price-range ornaments which was a mistake. I mean who wants to buy a $260 statue of a Austrian opera singer holding a rose, when it comes time for me to sell??? So I guess that one will stay in my crystal cabinet for the rest of my life.:D

I am a bit of a habitual collector, so to speak - I collect anything I can manage to get in my room. Well, preferably smaller items:
-small carved stone animal figures
-miniature guitars
-shot glasses (to a degree)
-plushies
-books
-glass bottles (a few anyway)
And I have a growing collection of guitars and guitar equipment as well. That is really my only large item.

You see my avatar?

Manga is a kind of japanese artwork, it can be scanned onto a computer and eventually constructed into an actual video known as anime. There are books of manga, it's like a comic but so much more detail and passion goes into it. (n_n)

Ok. We learn something new every day:) I am familiar with Anime although I have avoided searching for it. We tend to find unwanted material even in the safe area.s. My son was looking for ben 10 animations and found something quite different. happily I have now better parential control:)

I know what you mean, they can twist plots and bring out unwanted material in even the most seemingly innocent stories.

I used to have an unreasonably large collection of books, but I finally pruned that down to a manageable amount. And now I have a Nook to keep books on, so it cuts down on the stacks I used to keep all over the place. :)

Now I collect parasols and cameo jewelry, mostly antique but some new as well...every time I visit a new place, I try to pick one up if I can! I used to collect tea cups as well, but I just don't have the space to keep them safe anymore.

I have a neat collection of china tea pots and so on. I've also got this chinese parasole but it is for decoration only, the artwork on it is fantastic. It has birds, swallows and flowers all over it.

I just realised, this makes me sound gay! :hhh:

Never even thought that before you wrote it. In this country its custom for a man to give his naigbour flowers for helping him out. Even if the naighbour is another man. Thats one I could never get used to. But they don,t think its gay although a scotsman normaly would^_^

I have a set of royal albert tea cups and tepot, suger and milk jugs from the beginning of the last century. We use them for our grandparents when they visit. When I drink from one i cannot get my finger through the handle^_^ If you saw me you would think I ras gay. But I am not. My wife tip toes around and prays that no one breaks a cup. I want to sell them so she does not have to worry so much. But the wife says not for all the tea in china:doh:

Buying flowers for another man!? If I did that here I would get battered to death, and rightly so!

I don't blame your wife though, I also have an obsession with china tea cups, so danty and posh! :hrelax:

sea shells

I once collected a load of shells at Exmore, it took me several days before I realised that there were living animals inside them! The smell was horrendous!
