Collections

I collect books, mugs, anything with owls, tea of course. I have a collection of mugs with owls :)

I collect tea. . . Does that count? I’ve also started acquiring Boxer figurines.

I tend to collect things, not sure if it’s related to me being a tea drinker or not. Used to collect key chains, had so many for a while but I guess I outgrew it. Love books, don’t have to be hardcover, prefer paperbacks because they take up less room (That’s important!) Whenever I see any free books I have to at least look. Like office supplies, used to waste so much money on notepads, pens, etc. When I got into fishing I went crazy buying fishing gear, then ice fishing was even more stuff to get.

Now that I’m getting into looseleaf teas all that is keeping me from having a dozen teapots, infusers and hundred of teacups and pounds of tea is my lack of $ to buy it all. Back when I was content to drink only bagged tea I tended to buy a lot of that too.

I collect Video Games, Movies, CDs, and Books/Comic Books. I will be so sad if all those things go purely digital.

LOL….I come from a family of packrats, clutterbugs, slobs and procrastinators. I am all of the above! Whenever I get into a new hobby, I spend a fair amount of time and money collecting supplies for it. Like with knitting on one of the looms that you can get at Jo-ann’s, I started collecting yarn. I’ve finally got back into it but I highly doubt that I am going to use much of it because while I love the colors, the feel no longer appeals to me. Not to mention books on the subject, gadgets that help in some way…..I don’t actually drop the hobby completely, it just falls to the side for a while.

I collect wives. I’ve had 2 of them so far.

I collect pop up books.
I used to collect things that glow in the dark since that was my favorite color for quite some time, but it’s lost a bit of it’s magic. I have been going through a crazy purging spree lately trying to get rid of anything I don’t use often or can do without.

I go through little obsesion-like phases… But my collections are mostly, tea, stuffed animal rabbits, books, tea cups, ice skating related things and Video game stuffs!

Like several here, I collected before getting really into tea, so maybe tea draws collectors to it… :)

I collect shot glasses from places I’ve been, movies (though that collection has gone digital in the last 5 years, making more room for other collections…), books, old map art, tea cups/pots/sets; I was collecting glassware until I realized it was a bit out of hand and onto a garage sale it all went. :) I still have my collection of stuffed animals from childhood/teen years and if I find a particularly good one, I sometimes add to it. My interest seems to have mostly narrowed down to the more realistic looking ones, with bunnies being the main focus. Oh, and they have to feel really good. Which is helpful with space issues. :) And t-shirts – also from places I’ve visited – but I have a plan in mind for those. When I have enough, I plan on making a t-shirt quilt out of them.

i collect cats.
no, not really. but i am very much SAVE ALL THE KITTIES. i live with 3 cats, only 1 is mine. i’d have more, but i can’t afford it. lost animals usually find themselves on my doorstep..
i don’t really collect anything per se, but i am a bit of a packrat, so i have lots of things that aren’t always the most useful. i’m trying to get better at it, but i never really live in one place for long, so things tend to stay packed in boxes. makes it hard to know what i have and what i legitimately don’t need.

well, i suppose i collect songs. i have about 7000 on my laptop, and another huge chunk on my external, plus a huge rubbermaid container of cd’s i have yet to migrate to my laptop.
