Answer 2

I have so may collectibles at the age of 71 that I don't have space for any more.

When we traveled we stopped at every antique store and flee market.

I have a collection of Blue Willow and milk white Fenton. I collect some small silver pieces.

My husband has built shelves in my kitchen and dining room. My displays are more interesting than in any magazine.

I have a nice collection of odd pieces of Blue Willow and flow blue platters and serving dishes.

I have a brass collection on my fire place mantle with twinkle lights intertwined in artificial grape leaves along the back behind the brass.

I collect picture frames an have one wall of pictures with some framed poetry I like. The hall way wall are covered with pictures.

I have found some very unique picture frames at yard sales, thrift store, antique stores and flee markets. Some have to have glass cut for them . Some I buy new.

It's a fun hobby but keeping all clean and shiny is a big job.

I haven't been extravagant. I look for good buys.

When some one new enters my home I always get a, "WOW out of them."

I also collect old beautiful lamps and my husband rewires them for me.

I hope I haven't told you more than you wanted to know.

Answer 3

I have a shot glass collection. I currently have over 60 shot glasses. All but four of them come from different states, then 7 that are each from a different country in Europe, and I have a Saki glass from China. I have them ranging from single shots to 6 shots per glass. No two glasses are exactly alike. I have one shaped like a boot (from Switzerland), one shaped like a medieval goblet (from Chicago), one from Germany that looks like a beerstine, I could keep on about how different each one is. Out of all these, I only bought the 7 from Europe!! Each one has a story, and I can give the story from each of them. So, it isn't just a collection of shot glasses, it is a collection of stories too! :)

Answer 4

A good friend of mine collects unopened Hot Wheels cars.
She has over 12,000 of them. Yes, 12,000 (not 1,200).
She has most of them in storage totes, but a great deal of them completely cover all of the walls in 2 of her bedrooms at her house. Not an inch of wall is showing, just Hot Wheels as far as the eye can see. It's kind of odd, I feel a little overwhelmed when I am standing in the middle of one of the bedrooms. To each her own, I guess.
