What do you collect?

Sometimes I feel like a little old lady too for liking that same stuff. I checked out that diamond encrusted skull and that would go on my pinterest page for sure. I'm into the day of the dead sugar skulls and not so much in the skull and cross bones aka jolly roger of pirates. I do have a beret my Mom brought back from Italy I'll wear. Oh heck I forgot about my love of hats and hair things. I don't need an excuse to wear those things but often look for reasons just to. I consider them accessories and just kind of do what I please with my own style. If I want to dress up I do. I was a lot more free with what I wore when I was younger plus I was living in Austin. The motto there is "Keep Austin Weird" so I pretty much took that to heart and did. I'm an artist like that.

L.Jane, that happens to me! When we got our first cat, all of a sudden, we got throw pillows, hand towels, a serving platter, and figurines of cats as gifts.

Why do people do this? When I got a yorkie, people started buying me stuff with yorkies on it. It's weird. I mean, it's not MY yorkie on the t-shirt. It's as if I had a baby and people started buying me stuff printed with pictures of random people's babies.

LOL MrsK, exactly! I never understood it...

Too funny re: the pet-related accessories! MIL got DH and I matching airbrushed shirts with the dogs' pictures on them for Christmas one year. They've never been worn. DH pitched his, and mine is now part of my t-shirt quilt pile!

I forgot about Christmas ornaments. I get a cloisonné ornament every year, so I guess that counts as a collection. (I call it a tradition! )

[diggitydot]

I forgot that we collect Christmas ornaments, too. Each year we get a new "family" ornament from something we did together it somewhere we went and each year the my ex's mom (the girls' grandma) makes everyone a beautiful matching ornament.

[SuzySunshine]

We also do ornaments, next year we're going to need more then one tree.

Shoes and craft supplies. ST has seen quite a bit of both.

Stuff for projects. That haven't been done yet

Do museum books count? When I visit a museum, I like to get the museum's official publication which has photographs of and essays about it's collection since I rarely get to see and read everything when I visit the museum. These are usually coffee table type art books but sometimes they are smaller paperback books. The art museum here has one that is a cook book/coffee table art book. The one from the cowboy museum in OKC is really interesting. If I alreay have the book for a particular museum, I might get a book that was published for a particular exhibit.

I have every greeting card I've ever received.

You could say I collect yarn - although I do have intentions of knitting it all! I haven't quite reached SABLE (stash acquisition beyond life expectancy), but I do have a 2x4 IKEA EXPEDIT shelf with 2 cubes full of unused yarn and 2 cubes full of partially used yarn.

No one has said debt.

But it is technically the spouses collecting all that debt.

LOL.

I collect hobbies. A few years ago it was sewing, and I have entire sewing room's worth of fabric and equipment. Then I expanded into photography, and collected the cameras, lens, books, workshops, editing software, etc. I also have a crazy collection (boxes worth) of religious books, Saint biographies, writings, Catholic history and doctrine, etc. The cookbooks are little out of control too.
