Reuben Sandwich 13841 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 I never thought of it as a collection either but I collect tools. I have so many I never use but will not part with. 8 axes, 4 adzes, bark spuds, cant hooks, drawknives, probably about a dozen hammers (not in a sack). Lots of stuff from Lee Valley that looks cool but I used once or twice. One of these days I got's to get organazized. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antlerman 17064 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Memories.......that is what I truly collect..... You can be any where and close your eyes and remember the great times with beautiful ladies....friends....family..... Memories do not require a space on a shelf or cabinet Memories do not have to be seen to enjoy..... Memories can be shared over and over and you never worry about some one dropping it and breaking it......... ...... ........ People will remember you or your actions long after the trinket is gone........ So that is why I collect memories Posted via Mobile Device 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I even have a church pew at home! :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterfly Kisses 2301 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 Hmm if someone were to look in my dresser drawers, they would think I collect old underwear. Some are almost older than some SP's I visit, lol. Not to worry, I wear my new ones for any special occasions! I collect pens and logo'd watches. And some Logo'd golf balls.

Studio 110 by Sophia 150333 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 I dont seem to collect anything really. When I am asked what is my favorite color, or song, food, I never can answer it, as it changes almost everyday for me. So with that in mind, collecting would be difficult for as I could not stick to one thing, lol. I suppose I can safely say....I think I collect shoes, hahahaha. It probably is the one item I have many of...lMAO Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aspen Wilde 31370 Report post Posted January 27, 2012 I tend to accumulate journals and notebooks, buttons, and the paper detritus of my adventures- movie ticket stubs, boarding passes, and the like. Oh and books. They're a pain in the ass when you have to pack up and move, but I find it very difficult to part with any of them. Magazines, too. I have all my back-issues of Philosophy Now.

Maverick 2873 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 I have every movie ticket stub for at least the past 4-5 years, and there are A LOT of them. Other than that I would say movies, and notes from university (I don't throw any of them out in case they might become useful in the future). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fortunateone 156618 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 I like Pawn Stars, but like American Pickers and Canadian Pickers even better. That way rather than see one thing people have hung on to, you can see acres of stuff lol. I used to collect small plates (saucer or dessert plate size) that were old china, interesting designs, often from the 20's or 30's, totally mismatched with other plates. Fun to find. I don't really collect anything anymore, have enough stuff, more than I want or need lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jhena Grey 25615 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 I also collect poem books. I'm not sure if this qualifies but I collect quotes. I have a word document that's filled with 8 pages of quotes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 Childhood memories. I have found over the course of time that I find comfort in pieces that transport me back to a simpler time - not necessarily simpler times for the world, but simpler times in my life. They don't have to be expensive or hard to find... but they mean something to me. I picked up a GI Joe that looked like the one I had as a kid, a set of glasses that were exactly the same as we drank cold milk from... a coffee cup that looked like the one my father drank from... a Beatles LP on vinyl... Led Zeppelin IV on vinyl... a couple of DVDs of really bad films that captivated me when I was a kid... an old radio like the one that sat on our counter... a pair of rabbit ears (not real ones, an antenna) to sit on an old TV... the piano stool that sat in my grandparents parlor... a couple of old TV guides... essentially anything tactile that can transport me back and make me smile....

Gabriella Laurence 301887 Report post Posted January 28, 2012 To those of you who collect way too much stuff, I would suggest you watch a few episodes of hoarders. Every time I watch that show it makes me want to clean and get rid of things I don't really need lol 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
