leathers and hides

TryingSoHard · 04-06-2009, 09:15 AM

Heh... I collect shot glasses. The collection actually has NOTHING to do with drinking - honestly. I've been collecting them for years. I probably have something stupid like 200, from all over the world.

parentrecovers · 04-06-2009, 09:43 AM

rocks, retro looking plates and serving peices, baskets, cheesy old "racy cover" paperbacks, crayons, recipes, found object things for my garden, and a lot of DUST.

aasharon90 · 04-06-2009, 10:26 AM

I buy or collect as I need. Since i like
shopping online, i shop jewelry, house
items, purple things at the moment.

Just depends on my mood.....

I love anything red....dark red...
just like i just put a pretty vibrant
red in my hair this morning....a
mixture of red highlights in with
dark brown black.

Red flower seeds yesterday.
Red rose tattoo.
Dark red Baby Phat frames
fro my eye glasses.

Red berry bushes for the yard.

I guess i really love dark red.

**CarolD** · 04-16-2009, 11:41 PM

Jewelry with gems .....both precious and semi-precious
Burmese rubies are my favorite
White topaz ... a close second.
.
Paintings.....orginals....oils and watercolors
I perfer small landscapes.

Thanks for asking....

Funny, I do too! Got a fancy JD shot glass collection-some are pewter, in the shape of a barrel, thimble,etc. ones from Mexico, Spain,UK, & Germany (they make the coolest-looking ones.) I'm proud to say that some of them are "virgins". hope I keep them that way!!!

PeggyT · 06-15-2009, 07:22 PM

McCoy pottery and anything penguinish!

jamdls · 06-25-2009, 03:03 PM

Teapots, mostly miniatures

Bamboozle · 06-25-2009, 04:05 PM

Um...I've been collecting (or is that accumulating?) a lot of dirty clothes, receipts, and plastic bags.

I need to clean.

adore79 · 06-29-2009, 12:45 PM

LOL Bam, maybe you can use all that stuff and create a found object sculpture or something.

baggervance · 06-29-2009, 06:47 PM

I had an excellent antique fishing lure collection, along with bambo fly rods and other tackle. After the house burnt I cant get back into it.

Sweets79 · 06-30-2009, 01:40 AM

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE jewelry and precious/semi precious stones. Burmese rubies are beautiful Carol

I love Colombian emeralds, but then again I love it all. I used to collect rocks and crystals as a kid. I have some beautiful minerals and geodes. I started collecting Swarovski but never got that many pieces.

I like some antiquey things, but never really got into collecting. I might start though.

Wow beach glass is really pretty...

I wish there were some nice beaches by me, I would collect it too...The cleaner water is a ways away.

I think I am going to find my crystals and rocks that I've had since I was younger and set them up in a curio cabinet. I guess I just found another hobby with my sober time.

otterbearcat · 07-03-2009, 11:42 PM

Negative Thoughts. LOL.

Now if I only knew where to put them ... hmm.

Very clever lol

baldjim · 07-04-2009, 02:39 AM

judging by the mirror i'd have to say wrinkles and inches on my waist ....oh and a have a major collection of chins gathering grey whiskers DOH DOH DOH

Sikkisirus · 07-22-2009, 02:26 PM

I collect toys, stickers, anything from the Wendy's hamburger place in America

kj3880 · 07-23-2009, 10:02 AM

Let's see,

Thimbles, especially if they are elaborate with scultures on them. For example, I have one that has a teeny-tiny baby bear taking a bath on top of it, the mother is on the side holding a scrub brush.

I have some blue jasper-ware wedgwood. So far, 5 pieces.

Dolls. I have almost all the Growing-hair Crissy dolls from the 60's. I'm only missing one. I like to make clothing for them out of vintage 60's patterns that I got on e-bay. Groovy! And just for fun, I collect Bratz. I love their high-fashion clothing and glamorous make-up.

Love,
KJ

JJB · 07-23-2009, 10:08 AM

I collect pretty pebbles from beaches and then keep them in the aquarium with the fish-they look much prettier when they're wet.

Also like jamdls I have a collection of teapots

Hi. I collect gem stomes and fossils. Got quite a few now. I live very near to the jurassic coast,so Kimmeridge is brilliant for fossils!

**Ann** · 10-16-2009, 04:30 AM

Angels and art. I downsized significantly when I moved last winter so am keeping collections to something useful (like art).
