LV of course, but also interesting cemetery photography, and things that meant alot to me growing up in the 1970's and 1980's. I used to have a massive KISS (pinball machine, dolls, albums, etc) and Pepe Le Pew (yeah! the WB skunk) collection too. My DH collects New York Giants memorbilia.

^snowglobes how cool!!
I used to be collecting collections at some point if you know what I mean....everything from stamps, perfumes ads, bottle, keyrings, etc....
Fortunately now it's just books on product, graphic and toys design.
And Designers toys vinyl figures : brickbears and others. Every city I go I try to locate a shop that sells these (so far Paris, Berlin, London, New York)

Oh yeah me too, that's how I started buying the original Kenner Strawberry shortcake dolls ! they don't smell anymore unfortunately.....

I also forgot about my period of collecting small electrical appliances/devices like hair dryers, toasters, phones from the 40's, 50's 60's, for their designs

twinkle.tink · Oct 23rd, 2006, 03:30 PM

I collect(ed) old Nancy Drew books (I have the entire set now), anything with macaws or conures (parrots) on it. Our bedroom has a tropical "theme" so pretty much anything with palm trees on it as well.

boxermom · Oct 23rd, 2006, 04:30 PM

We're downsizing, so my collections aren't as big as they used to be: s&p shakers (the stranger, the better), bird paintings and figurines (mostly robins), boxer dog figurines.

itsgood2beme · Oct 23rd, 2006, 04:45 PM

I collect sterling silver frames, Herend (expensive

figurines), lamps, sterling silver flatware, All-clad (kitchen) pots & pans, etc...

eff · Oct 23rd, 2006, 04:49 PM

I have a huuuuge stamp collection from when I was a kid. It's ridiculous. Other than that, I kind of collect duck stuff... like, rubber duckies, duckie figurines, etc. It's kind of silly lol My mother collects turtles. She probably has over 200 turtle figurines, it's insane!

icechampagne · Oct 23rd, 2006, 05:48 PM

Postcards!

I currently have 482 (or around there)..I bought pretty much all of them when we were on vacations; at every place we go to I have to buy at least 10

Hopefully I'll have one from every country someday!

& beginning from last year, I decided to also collect hotel card keys & other ticket stubs

I looove traveling..& have only really been buying postcards (& a few figurines) as souvenirs up til now. But snowglobes seem cool

Darwin · Oct 23rd, 2006, 05:50 PM

80's toys- Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, Popples, Alf, Rainbow Brite... the vintage stuff, anyways. I started collecting WAY before they reintroduced this stuff again, and frankly I do not like what they have done to Strawberry Shortcake!!!!!
Postcards too :)

edit: picture of my room from quite a few years ago (It's all in storage now :( )

I agree! I don't like the new Strawberry Shortcake either or Hollie Hobby! They've goofed her up too!

CoachKatie · Oct 23rd, 2006, 06:23 PM

PEZ Dispensers!!!!!! They're pretty much my passion and I can admit I've spent as much or more on PEZ as I have on my handbags...
