I have a thing for decorative masks. I have them all over my walls.

Does collecting student loan and medical debt count? If it was art, I'd have enough of that the fill the Louvre in Paris, the State Hemitage Museum in St. Petersburg, the National Museum of China in Beijing and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

And men

Tears and bitter memories

Books, since I have been a voracious reader since childhood. I refuse to buy another bookcase. When a new book comes in, another gets donated to the library.

Don't suggest a Kindle. I hate reading books on screens. I love the smell, heft and feel of beloved books. With favorite authors, I collect and re-read their remarkable books.

When I finished "Angela's Ashes" for the first time, I kissed Frank McCourt's picture before closing the book. Frank McCourt won a Pulitzer Prize for this first book, "Angela's Ashes."

I tend to collect things along useful themes. I love to cook and have collected a ton of cooking gadgets. I also love woodworking and have amassed an extensive shop full of wood working tools.

I have a porcelain doll collection. I'm also collecting languages that I'm learning. I know English, Spanish and Romanian...don't know what my next one will be yet.

My husband and I collect classic literature as well as other books.

Music, movies/tv series, rocks/minerals, art stuff...

Need to liquidate my old sports memorabilia collection.

I collect glass paperweights--I got my first one about 50 years ago. No idea how many I have. Some are simple & inexpensive & a few are signed art pieces. They are in all different styles too.

Antique and vintage synthesizers.And a wonderful collection of vinyl records and vintage music items.....joy!

Only the memories of what I used to have. When I found out I was going to have a niece I gave every thing to her.

When I was a child, I collected comic books. I knew all about the Marvel and DC characters before they got famous in the movies.

I still have my collection of concert tickets that I have kept over the years. I think it is my proudest collection. There are lots of memories looking at those tickets.

Once (super) expensive computer equipment that now fits in the categories of either 1) paperweight or 2) Artwork ...

Movies. Books.

vintage clothing and bric a brac. cool electronic equipment. lps, of course. biker ephemera from the 60s and 70s. ooh, and cool big old books with lots of dated graphics. yummy!!

Molecules, Sometimes whole sets of them. I try to get rid of stuff from time to time.

I hunt for and collect stone tools. I also collect maritime antiques and early Americana miitary stuff. And while I feel that I don't collect books, dayum! I have over 1,000 history books on a variety of subjects.

.....aoh yeah, I don't collect Voo Doo dolls, I have a few old ones and I'm not afraid to use them!

I sure do! I collect rocks and fossils, books, houseplants, and cats! lol

Oh yeah, every item has a story

UHD, Blu Ray, and 3d dvds to feed my movie theatre (profile photo)

I sadly also gather (mostly as needed) tools, glass (telescope blanks and stained), electronic, mechanical, etc. parts. I have way to many hobbies that each demand stuff. For example: water pump on Honda Accord failed so I decided to fix it myself. The junk tools I had were not sufficient so now I have a high-end air impact wrench, compressor, a few special tools for that job and very good wrench sets (Craftsman junk just didn't cut it). Think I'll have to rummage sale the cheap tools as I have dozens of cheap sockets and wrenches that take more space they they are worth.

Gund stuffed animals. i like to squeeze them.

My collections; what a great idea for a poem!
Think I'll write one.

Religious iconic symbols...Madonna with child, crosses, hearts...Kinderegg toys...lol

Human skin. Wanna help me get this sofa in my van? ?
