Do you collect anything?

I collect porcelain dolls and money from all ages and around the world. My son collects baseball cards and comics. What do you enjoy collecting?

I collect Living Dead Dolls, gargoyle figurines, and crystal/stone skulls

Wool from as many sheep breeds as I can get my hamds on.

I used to be a stamp collector. But that activity is much to slow with my more ADHD inspired lifestyle.

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

My collections; good name for a poem!
Think I'll write one, 'till then I'll add this to my collection of ideas that fills the blank and begging pages of notebooks, being offered like 'hard drugs' to the unsuspecting ruminator!

I collect bananas. Since I was 18yo.
such a problem being what to do with them!?
They do have good points; neither large nor heavy and easily stored!
I have bananas from many places and countries, as I request (place an order) for them from my acquaintances who travel.
Still, what to do?

At times they languished in drawers, becoming disheveled on occasion.
I'd box them and find that special closet corner, reserved for 'unplanned surprises' during spring cleaning.

Finally, an epiphany! Form meets function!
I now carry a different one everyday, matching my clothes or the season or my attitude.
They serve as an icebreaker, a show and tell and hey, a handkerchief for my glasses (tissues scratch my lenses).
Let's not forget the occasional sneeze!
(I have about 400. Bananas that is, sneezes would number in the thousands I would guess!)

My other collections will have to wait, going to work.

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.

Aww lol

Aches and pains when the weather changes? I've collected many things but in the last few years I've decluttered and become a minimalist.

I feel ya on the aches and pains.
Kudos on minimizing

@ashortbeauty only took three years to start implementing...not that I procrastinate much..., not me! 🙂

Elephant figurines
And men

Don't get them mixed up 😉

Pens, books, figurines of things I like, dictioaries, (I have 5) and Under Armour clothing.

I have a 'thing,' for dictionaries...I thought that I was the only one!!

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

That's a good market for that. Gl

I am laughing out loud as I glanced at your post!! I have 50 yrs of collecting to dispose of by the end of this month! I want to move into a 'tiny,' house and I wanted to spare my children this job...when 'my time is up!' When I was in my attorney's office...a gentleman there said his mom had died and he and sister had to clear out so much stuff...that he brought in a dumpster and it was full! That was one residency! So collect selectively...as this is similar to real nighmares, that I have had!

Thanks for the wisdom and good luckclearing it all out!

Doctor Who!!! Yay

@ashortbeauty ? It's mostly books, too. So... many... books....

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

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.

I collect fifty pence pieces that are interesting editions - I also collect small weird objects as I make outdoor mobiles and it is amazing what you pick up on the beach or in the park or in the street - I use small pieces of driftwood.
