THE COLLECTORS SHELFDo you have a collection your proud of? Looking for pieces to complete your collection? Post all your most precious collections here.
Good morning.I has always been impressed by the ambition of collectors and their collections.it's sad i don't have time to read all post but I am sure here are many folks who have what to show and teach. My question is out of curiosity.What do you collect? I collect knick-knacks and... friends
I have collected many things through the years. I loved rag dolls at one time, stamps from different countries of the world at another. You'd be amazed at what people collect and why. Right now, I am making crocheted teapots for those who love and collect teapots of all kinds. I also make CroMaché bowls for people who love paper maché and have fallen in love with this new technique of making it.
If you would like to take a look at what I mean, see here:
Well good afternoon. I just wanted to reply quickly that I collect PIGS...anything pigs...I currently have hundreds of pig items. Mostly all are in storage for now...between the kids and animals I don't want them ruined. Well for your question and I hope I've helped with your curiousity Have a great day and happy collector hunting.

I collect salt and pepper shakers. I have currently filled up one curio cabinet and I'm buying another one so I can put more s&ps in there. Thanks for asking! Barb

Well, lets see...at one time I collected salt & pepper shakers also, but that was many years ago, there was also the jist with keychains, I had over 2000 at one time (my daughter has started collecting these now, go figure!). Then I collected teddy bears of all kinds, & now, well, the only thing I really collect now are the 'Old World Santas' I have 8 so far.
Cool thread, thanks for posting!

Well, at one time I collected salt and pepper shakers, but I gave them all away to a new collector when I moved to another state. I had several hundred pairs. I have always collected books, I had a real nice first edition Edgar Alan Poe, and a very old (not firs edition but old) Charles Dickens. I have the 4 leather bound books in the "5 Little Peppers and How They Grew" series (I still have these, I love them). The sad part is almost all of them are gone to my ex husbands current wife, sigh. I guess it is my fault I should have gotten them sooner but hind sight is 20/20 as they say. I guess I never dreamed he would stoop so low knowing how I felt about my old books. You live and you learn. Luckily she is not an Elvis fan because through it all I collected all things Elvis. It is not a super huge collection nor is it particularly valuable to anyone but me,,, bu I LOVE it. Before we lost our house I had an entire room devoted to Elvis, lol. Most of it is in storage now, someday. Lord how did I get off on this tangent,,,, sorry!!!LMAO
Dear God,
I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday night.That was really cool.
