I collect teapots what do you collect?

At the moment i am not collecting anything.For years i was collecting foreign money bills and coins, and i still have that collection.If i might add it is quite expensive, because i also have many old bills that are almost unused, bills of more than 90years old.I love opening the box and watching those money.

I collect snowmen and women, firefighting stuff and law enforcement memorabilia. I figure I will count my snowmen when I put up the Christmas decorations, I've added several more this year. My s/o was talking the other day of building me some display shelves for all the firefighting stuff I have. I have shelves in the computer room for the law enforcement stuff and shelves for his harley collectibles.

When I was younger I use to collect rocks. I had a really good collection until my mom decided she was tired of having "dirty" rocks in her house and she got rid of them. Now I don't collect anything because I don't really have the time. I'm a college graduate student and doing school work is my main hobby now. Maybe later in life I will be able to collect something interesting.

i have collected many things over the years from cobalt blue glass (remember the old vicks jars?) to antique books to flower frogs (they are glass globs with holes in them that they used to put in the bottom of vases so make the flowers stand up straight) to salters (salt dishes prior to salt shakers) to salt and pepper shakers. currently i am collecting post cards. i was give about 10 or so from the late 1930's from the detroit (michigan) area that were sent to my aunt here in ontario (canada) from her sister.

I collect books. I have tonnes of them, enough to keep me reading something new for at least the next ten years!

I collect stickers its fun because i get to email a bunch of companies for stickers and meet new people.

I mostly collect "vacation" stuff. When I go on vacation I always get a shot glass. I have about 30 shot glasses still in storage somewhere (I think at my mothers). Even though I have some shot glasses from the same place, I know who I went there with and what happened on that trip. I also collect playing cards - and I use them too - when I go on vacation, but they're not a must-have like the shot glasses.

Cool, I collect Hotwheels cars and have about 300 or so, some are rare's called treasure hunts and others are boxed sets. My nephew loves them and has started a collection of his own as well. So now its sort of a family thing. The other thing I collect is bonsai tree's. I buy them as young saplings and hope to keep them alive and growing for many year's to come. At the moment I have three different types.

I collect horses, giraffes and cats (both real & not.) I collect books, lots of books.

I collect Disney snow globes.

I love collecting wooden masks. Most of my collections are handcrafted masks from Africa and here in PI.My hubby and I will be moving to our new home next year so we made the exotic masks as its theme of our new home with the lighting effect on it.I am getting excited and can't wait to see the result.

I have collected coins fron other country's. Old coins and bills from my country. Stamps from different country, angels and shells too. It is nice to see them. Shells I put them in a big jar and it is out in our living room as a decor. I have filled a jar already. I also got toys from McDonals kiddie meals.

Love the pic. Kitty is adorable. I would love to collect tea pots. I've got a couple, but my sister has some extravagant and expensive one's; so I lost interest I guess. When I go to our cabin in Northern Minn. I collect walking sticks: The beaver chew them clean and to the right size. I like to collect musical instruments that I play. When I was a child I played a wooden recorder, then learned how to play a flute and piccolo. I have a dulcimer, but I don't enjoy playing it. I have two violins on which I enjoy playing fiddle music. I bet I could think of more, if I tried! Thanks for reminding me of all I can be greatful for.

I used to collect timbles, but I have relocated several times;so I could not keep up with it. I have some coins that I have collected a few years ago.

I was looking at all the different photos you posted here of your teapots...they are beautiful!! How long have you been collecting them..you didn't say. I particularly love that one photo you posted where Petie has to hog the attention..LOL Question: Do you ever get worried that Petie or your kitties might break them? As for me, I guess the only thing you might say that I'm a collector of is books. I've tapered down over the years. I used to belong to every book club imaginable and then it dawned on me, that in most cases if I want to read a fiction book, just to go to the library and get the book out. But for some books I insist on having my own copy...like all the Harry Potter books, I even have a collection of the first three HP books in French! In general some of the Law of Attraction type books I buy as well. I began seriously collecting books during my college days, and believe it or not still have many of my college textbooks. I have books all over the place..even my linen closet that only has one shelf devoted to "linens" while the rest are storage for the books I just can't fit in my bookcases. The majority of my books, are sciences, history, philosophy, --let's put it this way I must have at least one book on every subject going. Now the question that pokes in my mind...will I ever have time to read all my books...LOL One thing I do miss. They used to have fantastic book sales at the library...practically had to have a truck to bring them all home..I mean who can resist books for only a buck?? Well they stopped the sales about a year ago...drat!

hey teapotmommommerced!I'm staying with my Mom and bro,that's because I'm still in uni studying for my Master's degree and I can't afford my own home!lol.But I do have a collection of makeup,gift books,books,postcards,plush toys and traditional clothes(baju kebaya).Wow!I guess collecting teapots is an expensive hobby.

I love teapots! I collect them too, I think they're so pretty and make me think of girly things like tea parties. I only have a few so far, I can't afford expensive ones either so I go to consignment shops and get them there. My favorite one is shapped like an English brick house. I also collect silver trays, which I've gotten from consignement shops also. And I have a collection of Mother & Child nativity porcelins and art. I have the nativity sets as well but I prefer the ones with just Mary and the Baby Jesus, I think for me it just feels more natural as I was raised by a single mom. I used to have such a huge lingerie collection, I had to buy a special dresser to hold all of it. At one point I had over 200 pairs of underwear! I don't collect it anymore though.

I collect toys. Right now I have two big boxes and one small box of Littlest Pet Shop toys. I thought they were so cute. They are all still in their packaging. They started out as mine, but now I am just waiting for my daughter who is almost 2 to get a little older. I am collecting them for her now. I really really want to buy those die-cast cars from the movie Cars. But I know they will end up in a box too. My boys are too old to care about them, and I am afraid my daughter won't like them when she is bigger. So far I have refrained, but I want them SO bad!

I collect magnets from places I've visited.

I collect sea shells. I love to collect sea shells and put them in my front yard of my house where all the plants are. I put stones in the front of the yard too. I had some really big ones and I have them over the fireplace of my new house now, because I love the ocean and I have one from every ocean I've ever been to around the world and some pretty stones too!
