    I have a nice collection of half dolls. Also collect PEZ candy dispensers, a fun hobby. And lastly I collect seals because it rhymes with my first name! Gotta have fun in life.

    I collect business cards but they have to have something of interest about them (someone I know, unusual place, typography, etc.)as they must fit in the one box I allow myself.
    Also the front and side of my fridge is covered with magnets but only the flat kind, not the kind people make and sell at craft fairs. Always looking for new ones in shapes.

    I collect cookbooks, but hate to cook. Go figure, eh? Like if I read enough of them cooking would suddenly be fun? lol

    haha, Beth! You are FAR younger than I am, but I buy cooking magazines and my kids think I am nuts.. I really don't care anything about cooking. I never really liked to take the time to eat good meals ( I remember being your age and being annoyed when my mom called me to dinner, because it interrupted something I was doing!) and so, now, I don't like to cook them either! My daughter is a freshman in college now and she loves to go out to eat and eats healthy... I keep wondering WHERE she came from as I never cared for eating out either!

    I used to collect thimbles and buttons and anything red, white and blue... but our house is bursting at the seams, so I am not colllecting anymore and need to start getting rid of things instead!

    Lots of craft supplies and kits (paper, rubber stamps). Boyds bears and cookie molds. The cookie molds are the item we actually hunt for when on trips or yard sales and sometimes antique malls. They are fun to find.

    I have a cousin who died at age 35 from cancer. After his death his parents found one of his collections - rocks. He worked in a position where he and his co-workers were always traveling around the USA as well as abroad. Every time someone would go and ask "what do you want us to bring you?" he would tell them a rock. What an unexpected treasure and vision into his life he left. Each had a date, who and where they were from
