What do you collect and why?

i think almost everyone has a collection of some sort. My mother used to collect brass, my grandmother collected owls, my brother collected flags, I used to collect water globes. Now I collect apples because they remind me of someone very special who isn't with us and when I see apples I see it as a sign that's she's here. Do you have a collection of something? What is it? and why do you collect it?

autographs and signatures from friends is a great idea! I always like reading the back pages of our high school yearbooks with all the crazy comments.

Well I do have a collection. My husband and I have been collecting Brass for a few years now, We have candle holders and figurines and these little mouses tht are just too cute. I have no idea why it started but everytime we go somewhere new we try to pick up a new piece and his father is always finding us pieces. I don't really know why we do it, no special reason. I think it is pretty and just adds someting to the house. When we buy our own home we will probably build a nice hutch for it all. My daughter calls it our fake gold...too cute...
