Fun blog topic! I may need to blog about my own collections now. Things I collect: cheesy snowglobes, owls, Pyrex, and craft supplies to name a few. Can’t wait to see your collections.
Such cute collections! I collect vintage linens and vintage purses. My husband collects vinyl, so we’re always rummaging around some old antique mall together. What fun!!
Royal Tenenbaum fan art, used postage stamps, zines, and stray cats.
I love the owls, the paper dolls (!), and the wall of art. I myself collect stationery and cards. I used to collect mugs till I ran out of room…and pens before it made my wallet burn. My hubs and I also began a tradition of “collecting” one ornament each every Christmas season. 🙂
Yay pretty!
hmm what do i collect???
Pez is my biggest collection- and anything Hello Kitty. Just can’t help it.
Oh those are so pretty! I collect stuffed penguins, my favorite animal!
Oooh, the owls! Pretties!
I collect anything having to do with Twin Peaks, Tarot cards, bookmarks (they date back to the 80’s> “21 Jump St” era Johnny Depp included!), cute witch dolls…
And I’ve saved every watch face from every watch I’ve ever had since I was a teen in the 80’s. My favorite is from the 90’s tho; it’s a characature of Albert Einstein. Over his head are the words “Time is Relative” (or relative time; I forget =P). The hours say “1-ish”, “2-ish”, and so on. Second favorite is my Disney Pete’s Dragon watch!
Oooh. I would love to collect all of those beautiful things! lol. I am currently collecting old frames for my walls, but I need to find something new to collect very soon. 🙂 Yummy!
ooo. love collecting random things. i just blogged about my growing collection of figures of hands (not creepy, i promise!)
I collect Russian/Soviet artwork and knick-knacks for the most part. I’m a political science major and I think the USSR is soo interesting. I also will buy anything Golden Retriever related. 🙂
Well…matryoshka dolls (nesting dolls) are a recent collecting item, in any form. I have cross stitched, ornaments, a vintage book and of course real ones too. Love!
I have one old (vintage) carpet bag that they used to carry yarn and such in and want to buy tons more. Can you have a collection with only one thing in it? I’d like to think so!
Such a fun post, I really like that photo of the owls. I love to collect vintage linens, cookbooks and ornaments.
Its really easier to post what I dont collect. Here I go, THINGS THAT I REALLY DO COLLECT.
POWERPUFF GIRLS, VINTAGE EEYORES, STAR TREK, SIMPSONS, SCOOBY DOO, SNOWBABIES, HALLMARK ORNAMENTS, DVD’S, CD’S, BETSEY JOHNSON PURSES, BUTTONS, RIBBON, OWLS. Like I said the list is long. Keep on collecting as long as you live. Oh and MODEL CARS, COMIC BOOKS ECT……
You always find the cutest stuff. I really love how people collect a certain colored item. I collect —-Marilyn Monroe dolls have 6( only I stopped adding to it)I have been collecting vintage cameras since 1994( i will never stop). trolls( which really has stopped but I have my collection since MS and HS). my kitchen is done in coca cola -new and vintage stuff. I LOVE owls!! I guess I collect way too many things–I am around things i love and people!!

Delurking to join in the fun! A few things I collect: blue and pink 1950’s poodles, vintage aprons and slips, egg cups, 19th century medical books, and any kind of vintage costume jewelry. BTW, I read your blog every day…its the cutest! 🙂
Mason Jars, letters, film cameras, and currently thread on wooden spools (for a project I’m doing- a Mason Jar Lamp!)
I started to collect necklaces about 4 years ago. It’s getting out of control.
I collect these little bears from Claire’s! Well, I used to, when I shopped there. But they’re still cute! 😀

I also collect journals, which is really a bad thing because I have so many and never get around to writing in them all!
I’d love to start collecting something vintage, like cameras or something, though.
Hi,
Just found your blog and I love it! I love the owls, I am addicted to paper (since I do scrapbooking) but I do collect snowbabies. I bring them all out during the holiday season.
I actually collect Cherished teddy bears, I know nothing unique about it, but it used to be my mom’s collection. I would always help her choose them when I was younger and I loved looking at them, so when I moved out she gave them to me!! I love them!
i’m an owl addict myself! i love everything you’ve posted, seriously. and i’m a collector of everything. i find a lot of things beautiful and fascinating, vintage or modern – it doesn’t matter. i just love THINGS. it’s so dueling sometimes.
i collect the tops from snapple and grannys tea. the grannyisms are wonderful, my favorite is “puppy love is real to puppies”
elephants, i collect elephants 🙂 x
I collect rubber duckies, tortoise ornaments and books. My book collection is significantly bigger than the others. It’s one of my ambitions in life to actually read all of them xD
Owls, Faeries, cute journals and sketchbooks (I have so many that are empty!)… and coffee mugs! I also have a mini-collection of small pewter figurines. Do you remember those? I heart anything magical!
I collect small bears from any new city I go to and they sit above my bed 🙂
it just occured to me (like two days ago) that i have a huge collection of tin cans, but it wasn’t even on purpose
i collect hello kitty!
Nice photos, love your blog, have been following you for a while now. The owl collection is my favourite 🙂 xxx
I collect white ceramic dishes and teapots shaped like animals. Oh, and apparently I collect fish… this christmas my mum gave me a glass fish, and she was like: “It’s for your collection! Of fish!” and I said: “I didn’t know I was collecting fish!” and then I looked around the apartment and saw like eight fish things, haha.
Accidental collecting is great!

Milkglass. I started collecting and used them for my wedding centerpieces. Now I’m always adding when I find rare and interesting pieces.
when i was like 4, i started collecting little toy cars. i don’t anymore, but i really should. 🙂
When I was a kid, if I got two of ANYTHING I started a collection. I collected the following: dolls, cats, angels, bunnies, bears, dogs, doll house stuff etc. When I got older I kept my favorites of each collection and got rid of the rest (wish I hadn’t though). Now I collect rings and necklaces!!! I still kinda collect angels and anything swirly too. 🙂
I collect vintage jewelry and colored glass.
Books. Love books. Although, I’ve pared down considerably, as of late. Still, if it’s anything, it’s books! 🙂
I love the owls. I wish I had kept the owl collection I had when I was a kid. I even had a fantastic green sweater with an owl embroidered on it!
love the shoes!
I would be here way too long listing the stuff I collect.
As they say, if you have more than two of anything it’s a collection.
Thanks for posting my “yellow stuff’ photo. I’ve just posted about yellow today (or Pantone’s “Mimosa”)and have added your gorgeous forest pal collection from flickr(linked nicely!)

Have a great Sunday,

Used to collect stickers and beanie babies.. now I collect fabric 🙂
Paperdoll collection made me laugh aloud! Amazing work 🙂
My grandma gave me a whole bag of her old clothespins. A lot have broken though because they’re plastic and so old. And I absolutely adore that yellow collection.
I have ridiculous collections going too: owls, tin robots, vintage books, gnomes, etc.
My daughter collects stuffed puppies. She’s three. Gotta get them started early huh!
Hello! I would really love to have/buy a painting, if you would like to paint a swedish girl!
Definitely anything japanese culture, especially HELLO KITTY! I love that cute pink cat.
I thank thee that I am none of the wheels of power but I am one with the living creatures that are crushed by it.
