Apart from anything out of a skip that may be useful on the lottie.
I collect seeds and love to get them out of the tin to look at them like an old Ebenezer.
I collect T.G Green cornishware pottery.You cant move in my kitchen I have so much of it.
I love Portmeirion pottery.Our caravan is full of that.
Old postcards,particularly of areas I have lived.It is so intresting to look at the then and now.
I went to an antique fayre a few weeks ago and treated myself to a dolls house so now I have got to start collecting the furniture.
Pictures........run out of wall space and now hanging some in the loft.
Afraid I will never be a minimalist.

When God blesses you with a multitude of seeds double  the blessing by sharing your  seeds with other folks.

Tin Shed

I collect original Venetian Masks.  It started when my parents brought me one back from Venice about twenty years ago.  Each time they went away to Italy, they'd bring me back another.  On special occasions my husband has one made for me.  Mine are all originals (none of that horrid UK seaside rubbish, lol)  I have some real stunners, very beautiful.  I keep saying I will take some pictures but I never seem to get around to it.


debster

 ;D  Yep!! 'Tin Shed' ... wellington boots!!!  Have six pairs and still looking...
Have one with a flower pattern, green pair, black pair, pair that buckles at the top, Muck boots two pairs...... and no doubt will purchase others that may suit my fancy (makes a change from collecting shoes!!)

Buttons and some cigarette cards.
I would love to collect chairs, I always see ones I want but a person can only have so many chairs ::) ;D.
In the past, waifs and strays-both human and animal. Now the kids are adults and their friends seem to be fairly normal at last.  ;D
Smile, it confuses people.

Collected stamps as a youngster, now save all those plastic cards - bank cards, loyalty cards, AA cards rather than cutting them up.  There's got to be a use for them, just not worked it out yet  ::) Do seeds and dust too!
If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.

Emaggie, dont laugh but I have a phobia about buttons,if I see some in a tin they give me a horrible feeling. :)
