I collect bells - all shapes and sizes. I've been collecting them for over 30 years and have at last count over 300 total. Afraid they are all still packed away currently.

LOL - I have one, a cow bell that is. My largest and one of the most precious is a bell my #2 son made in high school - the class went to a metal shop and they got to program the machinery to make what they had designed. He then went to the woodworking shop at school and made a wood holder for it. It stands over a foot tall but they had to present their projects to the school board and he hadn't finished so the 'clanker' inside the bell is a socket 'browed' from the school work shop :)

I collect crystals. I first started off collecting crystal bracelets and wear them everyday. Now I even collect those things which are made of crystals to put in my place. I just bought two mini purple crystals caves and they look amazing sitting at my place. I think I love crystals so much that I would keep adding onto the collection. I can't resist for more! But sometimes some of them are quite expensive and it's really hard to possess them all.

Mine is a refrigerator magnets that we use to hold small notes and utility bills. I just started collecting it whenI noticed that is one the most common gift items available in any place I visited, especially the resorts. It could also be a handy give-away or presents when you went out on holidays.

I collect only postcards. I have a big box full of them. Sometimes I open it and look at every single postcard. Sometimes I also think that I should throw away all the content of the box because my room it's not big and I need more space but then I can't find the courage of doing this.

I collect books and pottery. I am not one who keeps every book I get my hands on. I collect only the ones that have special meaning to me, or that I enjoy revisiting to read snipits from now and then. I enjoy shopping for first edition copies and old collectors item books.
As for my pottery, I collect mostly bowls and jars. I like to know the artist of the pots I collect. I use most of my collection on a regular basis by rotating them through my house.

I collect Strawberry Shortcake items, not for me though, it’s for my two girls ages 5 and 1 ½. It first started when someone gave a strawberry shortcake blanket as a gift, since then I have began to collect it.
I love it though, it is real pretty and girlish!
If course, I don’t let my girls play with them, I place them in on a shelf in their room and hope and pray that they don’t mess with it!...lol..
I collect everything from pins, spoons, cups, blankets, hand bags, school bags, bearch bags, pillows, toys, stickers ect. We already have about 35 items all together.
I would live to get most strawberry shortcake items new, but unfortunately we can’t afford it. So then I get most all the stuff we collect at garage sales or thrift stores. I just make sure that they are clean and sill in great condition!
