    I often wonder
    I often wonder, being made of glass, if they weren't used for stiring something a little more potent...perhaps a mint julip!:)

    yes i collect lots of things
    old vintage things, my house is decorated with primitive furniture. i also am trying to incorporate shabby chic, which i love. i collect old vintage cups and saucers, antigue bottles, vintage pottery, lamps, oil lamps, almost everything i own is collectible. i had a garage sale a year ago and sold a lot of crocks (i had too many) and other things. boy i still miss a lot of the stuff i sold. my problem is i keep collecting (altho i am getting better) but i moved a 3 bedroom home to an 800 sq feet home and i have too much stuff. i'm becoming a hoarder, lol. i love to treasure hunt.

    I collect heart stones. I
    I collect heart stones. I don't have many and they can be hard to find. Just a heart shaped stone. From the ocean, river, wherever. I keep them in a round glass dish and I love the contrast of the idea of stones being so strong held in a fragile glass dish.

    Gail i love stones also
    whenever we would go camping or picnicing by a stream or whatever, i would be collecting stones.i was always the only one looking for rocks. rarely would they make it home with me, but i do love them. never found a heart shaped one tho. now i have something to look for this spring when my doggies and i go hiking.

    tesslee for your hearts....
    It's not often you find one, but it does give you something to look for. And be imaginative with the shape, just like when we draw them sometimes they are tall and thin, short and rounder, one side a little mishapen. It's a great thing to collect :)

    I used to think no
    I don't collect anything ... I'm a bit of a less is more sort of person. But, one day when I said to a friend that I don't collect anything ... she promptly corrected me and said ..."Oh Lori, everyone knows you collect experiences." So yes, I collect life experiences. Of course not all of my collection is pretty and exciting ... but, they are all mine.

    Music boxes (from very small to very large)....
    And Delft pottery....and people (my FAVORITE collection!).

    My boxes are either cylinder or disk, and some don't look like music boxes until you pick them up, or move them, or so on. I also have a general rule that they must be older than I am....I have, at last count, 67 boxes of all sizes and shapes...Western Europe is a GREAT place to find them...

    Also jewelry, when my beau gets to it...lol! We are visiting a friend in Antwerp in a few weeks...you know, one of the big places that sell diamonds...hummm...

    GREAT topic!

    Dutch hugs, Kathi

    just for information and I am sure everyone knows but if you want to look at pictures the easiest way is to look at this screen over on the left in red....it says Expressions Gallery...if you click there you can see recent pictures without having to go to individual members....sorry bet everybody knew that

    Limoges
    My kids would probably say I collevt too much! My best collection is my Limoges china. Limoges is an area in France where beautiful china is made. I collect older pieces, from many different patterns. It mostly all goes together + I love the look of many differnt by complimentary patterns. I also have many books + I love old linens. I am sure I have other collectios I haven't thought of.

    hi mags

    i collect cruet sets. i have so many now that i dont know where to put them. :) the thing is that whenever any of my friends or family go on holiday they always bring me a set back coz they are usually quite cheap and small to carry. hehehehe
