What do you Collect?

[Hollywood1340]

Model Trains
-I have about three thousand dollars worth in my basement. Since my MA stuff, kinda by the wayside, but all ready to go. Used to have a layout that wrapped around my room, but got rid of that to pay for MA. Fair trade off I say.

Whips
-Right now I have four. Two 10' latigo's, one natural, one black. One two tone (black and white) 8' masters whip, and one 8' latigo. I want more Much fun. Just finished cracking as a matter of fact. My mom is gonna wonder where her sketti went

I collect...

1. Books, well, I actually accumulate them but same difference. Mostly military history etc.

2. Match-books

3. Cartridges...my fav. is the 8-gauge shell loaded with a slug. (anyone who knows guns knows how rare these are).

4. Knives...well actually I technically just accumulate these too but oh well.

5. Guns (my bank account has trouble keeping pace with my enthusiasm).

6. And....Bruises (gotta love Kenpo ).

these are a few of MY favorite things...

Hey KenpoGirl, you forgot to tell us about that book collection you have. You know, the one with all the books that you don't actually read - just dust! Oh wait, gee - I guess I could come close to you there too.

:boing2:

I collect Giraffes. I have well over 50 now. All shapes and sizes, started out I'd pick up the odd one. Now cuz everybody knows about it I get at least 2 each xmas and birthday. I have to start scaling back soon. It's getting a little large, but how do you decide which ones to store away or god forbid throw away. Quite the delemma.

I also have a small collection of Nutcrackers but they only come out at Christmas. (Unless I need to use them on someone. )

Jazz cds - not that I'm really collecting them I just buy a ton of them and listen to them to death.

Books- pretty much the same thing. I read all the time...

Anything Mopar - I'm a diehard Mopar fan and have all kinds of cool cars and pictures and stuff around the 'Paulroom'.

Asian landscape art - Just like it.

I used to make porcelain dolls when I was younger......I have three of them up here and the rest are at my parent's house......too many to bring all the way up here. It's an awesome experience. Hadn't done any recently because I haven't found a studio anywhere around here. Maybe this summer I'll have the time to travel to a weekend studio or something.

In your refrigerator??

 

[KenpoTess]

What do you collect around the house and or garage for future use?

I tend to keep plastic grocery shopping bags, I can stick Seig's 'lunch' in them nicely.

Folgers coffee has come out with a very nice plastic container with easy molded hand holds.. started keeping them for all sorts of things, When we begin building our new house they will come in handy for nails and paint containers.

I reuse the freebie CD's that I get in the mail and use them for my own burned cds/dvds.

So what's your thing?

 

[Taimishu]

I'll never live this down I know-----TEDDY BEARS

over 300 spread all over the house. As to why, dont ask

 

[Maltair]

Keychains
My grandpa got me into it. He would traval a lot and pick one up where ever he went. He gave me a couple when I was a kid and that got me going. I've got about 200 hanging in my garage. :supcool:

 

[Bammx2]

memories and random sayings......

 

[Flatlander]

I collect money! Interesting and historic coins and bills. Nothing of great value, but, it adds up over time.

 

[TigerWoman]

I collect colored glass bottles, birdhouses, Hagen Renaker ceramic horses and exercise gear with the latter in the largest quantity. TW

 

[Blindside]

Hmm, lots of similarities here. I collect books, quotes, hand to hand weapons (mostly swords, but I have a couple of axes hanging around), and wildlife art and photo prints.
