Do you have a "collection"? And no I don't want to hear about your lip gloss or shoe collection. ;) Sorry guys....
For me, I collect Pen Delfin Bunnies [url=http://www.pendelfin.co.uk/]Pendelfin[/url] and love china.
Also, you know a girl can never have enough lady bug things.

sigh...well, if I can't talk about my lipgloss collection...
Actually, I collect saint medals - I have quite a few and I love them. Each one has a special meaning to me...
I used to collect things like crystal vases and statues, but I have a bit of OCD, and having too much stuff feels like clutter, and it drives me bonkers...

One of the guys I work with decided that his wife needed to start collecting something. So everytime he goes on a business trip or to a conference he tries to find her a new snow globe (like he couldn't go for something NOT tacky). Anyway, at a company party she pulled me aside and asked my advice on how to get him to STOP! Poor thing has a shelf with dozens of snow globes that she hates!
He's such a doof.

At one time I collected snow globes, but after having more then one get broken by a cat I had, or start leaking for no apparent reason, I tossed them all. I then decided to collect salt and pepper shakers. I lived in a bungalow that was all original and it fit, but after a few years and I got sick of dusting a couple dozen salt and pepper shakers! I now collect nothing.
The best reason NOT to collect things - once you start, people see it as an invitation to give you things THEY think you would like. More times then not you end up not really liking the gift, but having to display it anyway. Nothing worse then spending your Saturday mornings dusting the ugly crap other people gave you!:hissy:

haha, a dolphin comforter :) I always wonder if people regret their animal collections...like this lady that's a volunteer collects frog stuff - and people give it to her ALL the time. But she seriously LOVES frogs - and not just the ones in real life :evilgrin: haha
Since I can't bring up s-h-o-e-s....hmm.....
I collect stuff for both of my football teams (college and pro) and I have a pretty significant shotglass collection. I pick one up from everywhere I go.
Recently I've started to get Cupcake stuff...that actually started at work cause I have this really cute little cupcake sitting on my desk. (This was before I called Cupcake Cupcake). Plus I LOVE actual cupcakes. And of course, there's Cupcake, so it works :)

I have a cow collection. My mother started buying them for me when my husband started working for Gateway (the computer company with the cow spots on their boxes) he left the company in 1998 and she still gets me the cows. I have napkin holders and salt and pepper shakers (the salt comes out of the cows head and the pepper out of the cow's butt- it's just icky) and a creamer where the cream comes out of the cow's mouth, so it looks like a cow is vomiting into your coffee- lovely. I had to dedicate 2 bookshelves and one shelf in the kitchen cabinet to those things, But so far no faux fur Holstein comforters.
