We are created by God differently but perfectly, we have different styles and wants, we also differ in colletions or likes. For me I am fond of collecting key chains, I like key chains as a remebrance from friends if he or she happens to go to some places maybe in the province or other country. I also like to collect bags with different colors and fliplops too. When I was on a mall I usually go to bag section and look at all the bags there if I don't have the budget I just satisfy my self by touching or just putting it on my shoulder and if I have a chance I will promise myself "that beautiful bag will be the next sale and I wish I can buy it", funny but that is how I do it. How about you what is your collection? Do you have funny experience on getting it?

I used to collect key chains too but stopped a lot of time ago. I also collected stamps and money coins from different countries. It seems I have lost interest in those collections, even though this morning I remembered about the stamps and am eager to start putting them in folders and files as a display.
Now I collect movies, but I think it's something it will go away soon, I don't like to be attached too much to things nowadays.

I'm fond of collecting freebies from Jollibee and Mcdo. It looks like a small kid but the truth is..it's for my baby...i like flipflops too..keychains...and books..
anyway, i used to do it because i wanted to feel what i don't feel when i was a kid. we can't afford to buy these that's why i am filling up all these for my baby...It's fun and memorable..i love to do it..

I like to collect books that interest me, on the basis that I love to read very much so. I also collect journals, in that I buy new ones periodically that attract my attention, even though I haven't yet finished filling up the journals that I already have with my writings. There are so many journals with an array of designs to choose from.

I love old books, not just collecting them, but reading them as well! I'm always looking for a new one to add to my collection. I usually buy adventure books written by authors like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle or Jules Verne--they are my favorite!

I used to collect baseball cards when I was younger, now I like shoes and oddly underpants. I also love having pictures and picture frames. I collect memories of my friends and family by taking pictures of them and arranging them on my wall to look cute and wonderful in different frames. A frame can add to the memory. I like the ones that have sayings on them.

I used to collect key chains and still do to a point, if there is one that means something to me I get it or when we go on trips I get one. Another thing that I collect and love is pens. Yes writing pens. I dont know why but I have always like them. I also get one of these everyplace we travel.
The only other thing Im a collector of is books and I collect more of those then anything. I love to read!

There are things I dont consider a collection and things I do. I dont consider it a collection to collect keychains but i have tons, I recently started collecting cool playing cards from different states or just any kind I have around 10 or more. I love but dont consider it collecting postcards from different states and such. And dvds I dont consider that but I do have close to 250 and growing when I can.
I do collect plush monkeys still get them time to time. I still have my 80s plush I got few years ago but no room to keep going. I was collecting beanie babies at one time but stopped when I had too many and sold a bunch. But I still have a ton mind you.
I love pens and journals. I dont know why but I collect them all the time and dont use half. Notebooks too. Its horrible i am addicted!
Loved to collect ballet pictures and put them in a notebook want to start that up again. I even used to collect stickers that I do use but not always and rubber stamps all for scrapbooking or fun. :))

I have a lovely collection of costume dolls from around the world. For twenty years now I have been collecting them in the different countries that I have been to. My favorite are the unusual ones that I have got. Some of those were hand made so are unique. I also collect postcards and currency from different countries. My collection all come from my top hobby which is traveling. Today I went shopping and saw a colorful display of bags in the shop I went to.

I used to collect coins and stamps from other countries. I have this medium-big stamp book, and will store any stamps that I could collect from the countries that my parents brought me to travel to. Some are really vintage looking and others are very unique and with a touch of class. As for coins, I love it because different countries would have different look to the coins. Now that I've grown up, I am wondering where are all those stamp books of mine just for old time's sake. I should start collecting more things soon. As I grow up, I get interested in machines, gadgets, and especially the sand, sun and sea. Hmmmmp. Good discussion here.

I bet you got tons of 'em already :) Key Chains are nice things to collect. How many have you gotten already? Me... I like to pencils, collect bags, perfumes, and Havaianas. I don't use the pencils.
Like you, they come from different places that I've visited. Some were presents by friends and relatives who were on a trip too. My mom says, amongst my collections, the flip flops are the worst. She really doesn't like them. I don't use all of them.
