What do you collect?

Most people have things that they like and collect. I collect Ty beanie babies and other products from Ty, anything with horses, wolves, unicorns, or a Native American theme, and tea. I am an avid tea drinker and collect cups and tea itself. I have several different types around at one time so that if I want something different I have it. What about you? What do you collect?

Hey there, I have a small collection of different Buddah, that I enjoy collecting. My mom found a couple of unique buddah on her journeys, giving them to me, for my collection...

I think Buddahs are very interesting. They come in all kinds of different styles.

When I was younger, I collected stamps, stationeries, paper money and coins from different countries. Nowadays, I don't get to update them anymore. Currently, my active collections are books from my favorite authors and Irish whistles (or pennywhistles/tinwhistles) like the ones used by Andrea Corr of the Irish band Corrs. And in case you're wondering, yes, I can play these musical instruments well by now :)

Irish whistles. That is a cool hobby. I may have to look into those myself. And you can play them. That's even better.

collecting shirts - shirts
Hi there. I love to collect shirts. I buy plain shirts in very cheap prices. I even purchase a bundle of it everytime i shop. And then, I would print it myself. I will design it with features I want. I just find it very exciting. Good enough, my shirts are very unique. I learned that artistic stunt from my friend. He taught mr how to print shirts. And I really love doing it now. it speaks of my personality. My shirts reflects how I feel. I don't need to say everything, just look at my shirts.

Hey! I use to collect stamps too! Granted, most of them were postmarked but I managed to start a great collection from all over the world. I still have tons I have no idea where they are really from. Collecting notes is an awesome hobby.

Very cool collection. Keep going and soon you will have them all.

Come to think of it i don't actually collect much. I keep all the tickets from gigs and concerts i have been to but i don't actually collect anything that you need to buy. Though my boyfriend does have an obsession with buying me Me to You bears so anyone would think i collect them!

That is very cool though. it is a kind of collection. It is nice to know that guys do still think of someone besides themselves every once in a while.

My female cousin and I used to collect stamps way back in the 5th grade. Before she got married though, she gave all of her stamp collections to me. She's an only child and I'm her closest cousin. I think maybe that's the reason she gave the stamps to me. I also like to gather old coins & paper money from different parts of the world. Whenever my aunts & uncles come home from work abroad, they hand me a coin piece or paper bill. I really don't care much about the amount, so long as it's a new piece to be added to my collection. I also love to collect marbles. You'd think it's a child's stuff, but I do collect them. Another item in my collection is more weird. I really don't know what it's name is, but I gather them from threshed ricegrains. They look like miniature coconuts, they're hard too. I love to roll them in my fingers specially. Still another from my collection are white stones, small cups, beads particularly rice pearls.

I love tea cups and saucers but don't have many of them. I think that when my son is older I may start to get more of them but I am afraid that he will break them.

I had collected both when I was in high school. I quit when the house burned down and I lost both collections. I felt that it was too much work to reestablish them.
