Collectables - What do you collect ?

Do any of you have any collections, and if so what are they.

Since going to Italy and seeing all that beautiful Murano glass, I have to confess to buying 2 pieces.

Also I have a thing about ballerina's and have several small porcelain ones.

Wow... bargain!! I've not been to a boot in years, do you still get bargains ?

I popped into Salvation Army earlier to have a look around and the charity shops have really caught on now with their prices no bargains to be had!

I collect giraffes (not real ones, unfortunately)

I used to work in a Charity shop, and we had to close down, because 'normal' shops are so cheap now, that charity shops just can't compete with their prices, unless they put them up a bit.

I'm not a collector, quite the opposite really, I'm a compulsive house-purger! When I was little, though, I used to collect toy dogs, I had dozens and dozens of them. Every birthday and Christmas I asked for another toy dog. I think it was that that eventually shamed my dad into letting me and mum get a real dog (or two!)
