Small things that move/pack/travel well.
cookie fortunes
jewelry, especially rings and pendants with semi precious cabochons
(harder than it sounds if you like big stones and wear small sizes)
artists' writings
I don't collect books anymore. Maybe later.

Jewelry making items. But, I intend to use most of these!
Right. Just like I intend to use most of the fabric I've collected! HA! |

Books, but I try to purge at least once a year.
Postcards
Coffee mugs (I drink a lot of coffee)
Vintage cameras (just starting)
Some people might consider my massive quantities of accessories a "collection", but I don't, simply because I use them all regularly, and therfore, it's working capital.
I do have a rather large number of toss pillows, but in my defense, I do not have them all out at once. It's my cheap-and-easy way of switching up my living room decor.

There are other collector/pack rats on the fora?
I collect:
Christmas ornaments. I don't mean just one tree full.
Sheet music.
CD's and old vinyl: classical, jazz, classic rock
Books, especially social science, mythology, religion, art, literature
Old silverware and silver serving pieces
Glass serving pieces
I used to collect sea shells, and I still have several shoe boxes full
Cute little icon (ico) computer files. I use them a lot for menus, but not all 600 of them.
Recipes
I never purge anything, but I am thinking of selling the antique silver and glass before the next move. Well, maybe some of it.

I used to collect things, but I stopped. I take care to never collect anything. When I don't have a need for something any more, I get rid of it. Except that I found that I had a block when it came to getting rid of my cassette tapes recorded from the radio from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Beer Bottle Caps (to keep track of all the types of beer I've had)
SO collects these. He then hot-glues them onto little round magnets and sticks them on the fridge. My favorites are a red "Lucifer" cap (very cute font) and a purple "Abita!" cap (because it's purple). |
