What things do you collect? Are you sentimental about anything you collect?

I can understand that as it cannot be replaced... Do you mind if I ask which book is it?

very cool... thanks for sharing about it...

It is a book of old portuguese literature with all poets and writers since 1300. Can't remember now who is the author.

DVDs are a useful thing to collect especially when you are worried about being bored. I am hoping that you get all of the ones you want... Thanks for sharing a bit about your collection here.

Thanks for sharing about your little ponies... I am glad that you have them to remind you of the times when your grandmother was alive in the body. She remains with you in spirit, ever loving you.

your most welcome

It sounds as if you have a great collection. Thanks for sharing about it here.

Wow! I'm so happy I can join in you in loving rocks. Doesn't that sound funny? I move my rocks around as well. It does change the energy flow which changes things in my life. My two boulders are very light in colour. They remind me of giant potatoes. With the help of a friend, I pried them from the dirt that runs by the railroad tracks where I used to live. They probably weigh around 30 pounds each, and my friend carried them all the way back home for me. I think it was about a 1/2 trek or more. I don't have too much for crystals or precious stones. Certainly not the size you mentioned! I have one rose quartz and one clear quartz. I have one that is flat, like a slab cut from inside a mountain. I have a grey crystal, and a small rose formation crystal. I forget what they're all called, I guess I should try to remember. I bought one crystal formation inside a rock because I saw the number seven inside the crystal. When I pointed it out to the sales lady, she was surprised to see a seven when I pointed it out. She made my day by telling me that the crystals talked to me. I have some stones I hold in my hand. Some are beautiful river rocks and a few with small fossils, nothing of great interest. One thing that makes it difficult to reply to comments is that your last comment doesn't come up when I hit add comment. So, I have to try and remember what I read and I know I forgot some of it. I don't know how to say good-bye now, because I don't want to break this rock connection. I know, I'm silly sometimes. I'll catch you later. I'll request your friendship if I haven't yet. It's easier to talk one on one.

My appologies about responding to your post so late... I am glad that you and I are friends... That stone thing is special... Seeing a seven is very cool especially as the Native Americans see it as one of their very special numbers as in there are seven directions, the four directions plus up and down and the seventh direction is within you... It sounds like your collection is made even more special because of the fact that you have had to struggle to get some of them from the ground so you have the energy of place as well as the energy just of the polished stones or of the people who gave them to you... that is way cool It was great to read this tonight... I never got an email that you had written it otherwise I would have responded earlier... Please forgive me.

I love rocks too and am glad that my adopted brother was kind enough to give me a lot of them. He did so because he knew that I felt the energy of them... I must admit to liking sometimes to arranging them in patterns just to see how it shifts the energy of them... from disharmony to harmony and balance... It is a fun practice. I though have no boulders... I live in an apartment so the boulders would be out of the question... I have a citrine,quartz and smoky quartz stone that is big enough to be held in two hands and that is the biggest one of my collection. What do your boulders look like? Are your stones colorful or just browns and pinks of granite, flint, etc.

Collecting your art and the art work of your children is indeed a noble thing to do... The DVDs, stamps,old coins and paper money are practical things to collect.

Do you collect them for the monetary value of them or because they are beautiful or because of where they come from and the associations you have with people, etc?

Thanks for sharing about what you collect... It is fun to have things that you enjoy around you especially the stones and books which give you pleasure and the buttons, pins etc. too.

I would wonder if perhaps there is a bit of artwork that you could make with those bus coupons... and maybe a few other bits of recycled materials... It might be interesting to make an artistic masterpiece to collect instead of just the bus coupons.

Cowre shells are wonderful and have a lot of uses in history and culture too... wondering if that is why you collect them? Poems, jokes and text messages are fun to collect. Wishing you much happiness.

I am hoping that you find many stuffed toys and animes to collect and that you have musch fun taking pictures.

So you are a person who has everything and knows where to find it... way cool! Thanks for posting here.

I like these words " Pictures capture the moment but symbols of our journey bring back all the memories associated with that particular item." They are very true. Thanks for sharing.
