Books mostly. I do have a lot of stationery, notebooks etc. as well but never thought of them as a collection. I guess they are

Nothing really. I used to collect kitschy salt and pepper shakers. But, I don't have a place to display them, so they sit boxed up in the basement.

I collect old picture postcards that I find at flea markets & antique stores. I especially like the ones that WWI or WWII soldiers sent home to their families from overseas. Occasionally, I buy old photos if something strikes my fancy.
I like old books too, although there is no rhyme or reason to my collection, if you can even call it that.

Fairies and Dragons!! I also inherited my mom's doll collection and her doll cabinet. I kept the cabinet but only kept the dolls that had special meaning to me. There were tons and tons of dolls in the cabinet that I didn't want and those I offered to mom's granddaughters and great granddaughters.

Small clocks. Mainly the little gold ones that are made to look like things. Hard to describe really, some examples that I have are bicycle, plane, car, dog house, rocking chair, ect. Actually if you search images for miniature gold plated clocks, that's what I collect.

Not much. I'm always getting rid of things, but just recently I started making shadow boxes and I'm kind of obsessed with little tiny, miniature things. So I've been collecting them to use.

Nothing really these days, but I do have over 3000 baseball cards from the 70' and 80's in a box in my closet.

no hard-and-fast collections, but I do like finding the following at thrift stores and/or estate sales:
- vintage Native American silver / turquoise jewelry (for a decent price)
- vintage brooches from the 40s - 70s
- vintage scarves that catch my eye
- Navajo sand paintings
- quirky small Southwest décor pieces
We have a few pieces of Native American pottery and baskets, but not very many (too much $$)
eta: for some odd reason, I have started collecting vintage scissors-- whenever I'm at an estate sale and the person did sewing or crafts, I will look at their scissors and sometimes buy a pair of them. I don't use them; I just display them in a large glass jar.

I don't collect anything anymore other than concert tickets from the concerts I've been to. I have a big canvas in my hallway that has a ton of them going back to the 80s that I keep tacking more on every year. It's a great conversation piece I wish I had saved every one I've gotten over the years. |

- Jim Shore Disney ornaments. DD bought me Grumpy playing the organ for my birthday, and now I only need Sneezy to complete the dwarfs.
- Vinylmation Mickeys
- Tin advertising signs
- Peter Fagan teddy ornaments. They are mostly pretty small, and haven't been manufactured for some time. I have nearly 100 so far, and every so often I'll find another on Ebay.
- Calories. Which I convert into fat. It's all the rage, you know!

...calories here, too!! (forgot about them, lol!)
We buy a Christmas ornament every year from someplace we've gone during the year (last year it was Hawaii, this year it was the Four Corners monument)
I also have a collection of cardigan sweaters because I like wearing them and I'm always on the lookout for different colors. (again, mostly from thrift stores)
