Sherry! How big is your Boyds collection? I recently did an inventory on mine and have 75 bears, etc!

Clue / Cluedo games and memorabilia. I really love its artwork and how it changes every couple of years. My website, www.TheArtofMurder.com is devoted to it.

LOL! It is soooo true!!

I mentioned that only because after watching that show with me for quite some time, my DW finally started on some "clean sweep" work in our house. While I pity our poor sanitation engineers, I am thrilled that some of the clutter is finally moving out!

Dust, dust, and more dust. I hate dusting, therefore I collect it!!

I collect books. DH thinks this doesn't count as a collection, but there is no way I would ever even think of trading or selling any. Some are worth BIG bucks too.

 

[hipporina]

Hippos! I love, love, love hippos! I have hundreds in my house! I'm always looking for cute hippos!

I also collect pins when I travel and have since I was a little kid. I was so excited when the pin collecting/trading caught on at Disney! Of course, there is no way I'll trade the ones I got as a kid!

 

[disneygals]

Tinker bell, other Disney stuff no particular theme, Cobalt and Ruby glass

 

[stitch79]

Stitch! I don't collect any of the toys from Lilo and Stitch, mostly plush, pins, and collectible items.

 

[Annette_VA]

Dolphins! Love dolphins. My favorite piece is a photo of about 6 dolphins in the crest of a wave. Beautiful!

 

[MICKEY88]

Mickey Mouse stuff, with a small sub-collection of runawaybrain stuff..

 

[dizneegirl]

Disney. Anything Disney.

I have a collection of Disney watches, and I used to pick up the Disney beanies on a fairly regular basis (when they were still cute!), so I guess that's a collection.

I also collect DVDs (much to DH's chagrin )... CDs & LPs... hardcover books (esp. Dean Koontz, Stephen King, V.C. Andrews, Ann Rice)... cookbooks - definitely collect cookbooks... and Monopoly games. I think most people would consider my earrings to be a collection, as well. I used to collect postcards - not so much anymore, but I have a large collection - somewhere - from when I was younger.

I also seem to collect TONS of art supplies, but never seem to use them.

 

[catsrule]

Shot glasses from everywhere I've been. I've got tons of them.

 

[siouxi31]

Department 56 Snow Village (only christmas themed). The kids started to collect Department 56 North Pole Series. My husband laughs at me because I am constantly liberating myself my throwing things out (I hate clutter) but I cannot part with the Department 56 stuff.

 

[missypie]

My mom grew up very poor during the Depression, and had no toys to speak of, so later on she started to collect Madame Alexander dolls. Of course, after a while she tired of storing and displaying them, so now I have a collection of MA dolls. Same with her Dept. 56 Dickens' village.

 

[ToyStory Fan]

I have some sports memorabilia that I have collected over the years, nothing too old or "exotic", a few autographed hockey sweaters (Messier, Leetch, Trottier, Lindros), some sticks and pucks, autographed Derek Jeter subway series baseball. My DS doesn't really understand it yet, he really has no clue/understanding of what any of it means, he just knows he's not allowed to play with those "pieces" outside.
