collections?

[drinty]

Ok I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to beads and shiney things. I also collect beer mats and used to collect post cards

Does anyone else collect anything? Or want to collect something one day?

By beer mats do you mean coasters? I collect those as well, have a nifty few. A couple my friends brought back from Hawaii and I even got a couple from a pub in Italy!

I guess they could be coasters the card mats in pubs you put your drink on yeah? Sounds like you have an awesome collection! Pretty sure mine are all from the UK, my grandma who would of been 101 this year used to swipe the most for me whilst on her caravan trips hehe.

So how many do you reckons in your stash? I've not got a clue on mine haha

 

[Hoodlum Mack]

Yeah! Those are the ones. My stash isn't too large, I've mainly looked to collect the odd one out or one from elsewhere as I had mentioned. Definitely inbetween the 20's and 30's which isn't all that much. But they're pretty cool ones in my books!

Of course watches count that's a good collection of watches. Ooh I collect stones and sea glass off beaches too, I hadn't thought of those.
I'm liking this thread, thanks for your input guys

I've gathered a few menus from some old school style diners as well. Now that I'm thinking of it, me thinks I'll collect some more of those as well..... I enjoy the 60's style vibe!

Books.. especially old history books.. I love the way they smell and the sense of the wonder of those who have read them before me for generations.

I collect shells from the beaches I've been fortunate to visit. Florida, Pebble Beach, Acadia National Park, Punta del Este and Jamaica to name a few. While in San Diego I scooped up over 50 sand dollars from the ocean (they were not living, just the shells)

I used to collect baseball cards but I 'sold' them to my father when I was 19 in exchange for him paying a lawyer to fight dui :/ It was his way of keeping them safe from my teenage need for quick money.. but then a a few years later in a fit of grandfatheridiocy he 'gifted' them to my brother when he had his first child.. my brother's kids don't give a shit about baseball and I'm almost positive my brother sold them for cash almost immediately.. oh well.

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Let's see, I collect pins...like the kind that have an actual pin on them. Or buttons as they might be called. I collect postcards, letters, stickers, magnets, I have a lot of jewelry so that might count as a collection. :P I also buy lots of types of lights, so there's another one. Or maybe that's just an obsession, who knows lol.
