I collect boxes. I have over 100 of them! But my boxes don't look like boxes. I have one that looks like a gazebo, several that look like chunks of wood, several Swiss chalet boxes, and even one that looks like a sewing machine! :c)

Teacups, teapots - I have a one-track mind.

I collect castiron cookware (Griswold/Wagner/Favorite) and cast iron trivets. I have a collection of Santas (over 150). I've got a small collection of vintage/antique sewing machines and notions.

LOL I have been accused of collecting children. (14) I do collect sea shells and rocks. Nothing special just what I find and what people give me but it makes me happy. I also a have a small collection of Precious Moments figurines, several vintage sewing machines my DH and I share and I have a weekness for Teddy Bears and turtle stuff but do not have many.

That is so neat! I do have sand from a couple of places and safe it with my sea shells. Baby food jars are great for storing sand with a couple of shells in it.
