Things I Like to Collect

Collecting different things can be so much fun. The idea is to collect items you enjoy and build on that. I have always had a fascination with miniatures and started collecting them when I was younger, but that collection somehow got misplaced and I stopped. I have since started it up again and it is as much fun as ever. I have a friend who collects elephants and gets them from people who know she collects them, as well as purchasing them herself. Another lady I know in England collects owls. Both of them said that liked how elephants and owls looked, so that's why they collected them. While it is cost-effective to select one item and stick with it, I've sort of jumped around and started collecting a lot of different things. Here is a list of what I like to collect:

  • Barbie dolls
  • Cherished Teddie figurines and others
  • Beanie Babies
  • Miniature bells, plates, tea sets
  • Miniature bottles of beer (from England)
  • Ashton-Tate miniature dolls
  • Paradise Galleries Days of the Week dolls
  • Toys (Hot Wheels cars, etc)
  • Hallmark ornaments
  • PEZ dispensers
  • As you can see, I've gone a little crazy and this kind of collecting can be expensive, but it is fun to look at all the things you've accumulated and that's the best part of it.
