Too funny. I love your sense of humor. Congratulations on your running. My step sister is a runner too. I admire your stamina and your determination.

I used to collect : clocks, vintage cut glass, Ideal Suzy Walker dolls, Mary Englebreit objects, vintage fabric and vintage quilts.

Now: I am cleaning house and much of it is going to thrift stores or selling it.

I tried to tell my daughter when she was getting massive amounts of things to decorate with that there will be a day when she will load it all up and give it away. She's not there yet but we'll see!

I collect pitchers (mostly ball kind), & feed sacks fabric.
I also collect antique oval picture frames-the small metal ones-usually brown color.

Well I'm working hard to get rid of the fat I've collected, and I collect Nativity sets and pieces.

Very interesting what other collect. I love to collect gemstones, as isaid before. I just collected more morganite, (earrings 7.80 cts) and some more morganite earrings again (8.20 cts.)
It's addicting. I'm going on a cruise, so i'll get more sand for my collection.

I need sand from the Great Wall of China and Stonehenge next.

OMG....OK, I collect kaleidoscopes, Lizzy High dolls, Mister Magoo stuff, and sewing machines. My DH collects vintage schwinn bicycles, shot glasses, and vintage tin toys. I think that's it.....

Doesn't anyone collect Cherished Teddies? I do not collect them, but somehow have acquired a bunch of them! I would be happy to part with them :thumbup:

I love vintage pyrex. Here's my collection (I've added some since but not much-just some cups and a creamer).

Oh how blessed I am. I have too much fat, shelves of cook books, tubs of fabric,3 generation dust bunnies, but I love to collect angels and alabaster eggs. What I would like to collect most is at least 40 winks every afternoon !!!!!
