I collect pictures, picture frames and my favorite of all is all the ballet and ballerina stuff I have. I love dancing and I have these 2 awesome pictures of toe shoes hanging in my room. One which I had to wait 4 months for becuase it is a professional photographers picture.

I love cats... so I collect things related to cats. Odds and ends, mostly. I just wish I could have a real cat... my husband is allergic, though :(

I collect Hard Rock Cafe glasses from all around the world... my ex was in the Coast Guard so he used to get stuff for me all the time. In addition to that, I like collecting Precious Moments figurines. I have an extensive collection in the curio cabinet at my house. My family and friends know that I appreciate anything Precious Moments for my birthday and holiday presents!

Oh yeah...can't forget about the liquor bottles lining my shelf.

I collect Matryoshkas too! There is this great store by my parents that has them imported.

I also collect shot glasses. A lot of them,to the point I'm running out of room in my curio cabinet!

I collect cows and shot glasses. Everytime I go somewhere I buy a shot glass or when others go on vacation I give them $5.00 and ask them to pick me up a shot glass. My collection is getting rather large. Going to need a new shelf soon :)

Have a nice day :)

I've collected Nutcrackers ever since I saw the production when I was about 5 or 6, so I've got some pretty cool ones that go up every Christmas now

Ack! How could I forget my favorite collectible! You know those pens that have water in then and like for New York it has a picture of the Empire State Building and when you turn it upside down King Kong climbs up it - I have about 10 now from different cities - San Fran - Miami - Boston, NYC, etc - but I was surprised to see how expensive they are! They are in the tackiest souvenier shops and they are like 8bucks a piece!

Makers Mark bottles- I have the blue wax top, the denim label, UT orange wax top, the red, white, and blue wax top and the red on blue/blue on red UK and UofL bottles. Its a slight obsession.

All Remington Arms- I have every gauge shotgun in the 1100 semi auto series except for one, 28 gauge. I wanted a 28 so bad that finally I just went out one day and bought a 28 frenchi side by side. Good little gun. I have 3 calibers in the 700 series rifle too, 30-06, .270, and the new .260 bobcat.

Diawa reels- This is something I watch and trade for constantly. I usually try to trade in the Procaster and TD series. I love those 2 reels. I have 12 of em right now on rods, all waiting for the first week of 60 degree weather around here.

Masonic Stuff- This really isnt as bad as it was when I was first raised. Since im Templar and 32 degree both I tend to pick up alot of pins, coins, tie tacs, rings, and what not.

Old Craftsman tools and Stihl chainsaws- I havent gotten into the saws really yet but I have 2 Stihl saws and would like to find some old ones to cleanup and restore.

1967-1972 Chevrolet trucks- THis is my dad and I both. He has a 72 that he bought new in 72 and has drove it ever since last year when he bought a z71. I love this series truck so much I went and bought a 4x4 70 model from a junkyard and am currently restoring it on rainy days. I will post pics when she is done. Thats actually my pride and joy right now.

Blue Heeler Stuff- I dont find much of it but if any of you see anything with Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) on it, let me know and I will send you some money. I could care less what it is either.

John Deere Toys- Im not even gonna go into this one, but there is alot of green at my place.

And of course Confederate trappings.

I go a little overboard sometimes.

Breyer model horses -- been doing that since i was very young

Every time i travel somewhere i buy a beanie baby. i have most of the birds now(i am a poultry science major). This started when i was in high school -- loooooong before they became a fad. I traveled a lot thru 4-H so i have a LOT of beanies!!

I also have a tiny shot glass collection but its slowly growing

Stress animals - you know those squishy things that companies give away as promotional items i have several chickens, a duck, a pig, and a holstein cow, and a brain from a pharaceutical company

I love Gone with The Wind stuff!!

And i collect anything that has to do with chickens, except the live animal or its byproducts ;)

I really do not think that there is anything that I collect. I used to collect Disney's The Little Mermaid stuff while in high school, but all of that stuff is in boxes in the attic. :rolleyes: I guess now all that I really collect is A-Phi stuff.

I build and collect victorian dollhouses. I've been building and collecting them for over 15 years.

This was my very first one. I still have it, but I painted mine blue.
