How did you start this collection, and what is your most prized piece of the collection? I collect antique butter pats.

I collect bills, not by choice.
But I am going to do away with that collection.
By downsizing each month.
I started my collection, about 15 years ago.
My most prized piece collection would be my bill for my
car. (Jude:2)

What are antique butter pats? I thought butter pats were little pats of butter.
Anyway, I collect bookends and paperweights. I started the bookends when I saw some on Ebay that I fell in love with...a little child on her knees by a chair saying her prayers.
The paperweights I started when I saw two of them at an antique mall...then it kind of mushroomed from there. Now I have at least 50 that I have collected on trips and some were given to me, and they are all in a coffee table with a glass top so I don't have to dust them every week! lol

I collect dragons, unicorns, castles, wizards, marvin the martian, and eeyore. The first four it's easy to see why, I like RPG and specifically DND. Marvin The Martian I started in highschool. I was constantly told how wierd and strange I was, and I wasn't even a goth or anything, I just happen to enjoy reading StarTrek and for that matter just reading. Someone started putting Marvin The Martian stickers on my three ring binders and I just went with it. Eeyore started when my daughter was born, because we were doing winni the pooh/tigger/eeyore/piglette, ect. Eeyore was my favorite of them so people started giving her everything but eeyore and giving the eeyore stuff to me. I have a massive Marvin collection and an even more massive wizard/unicorn/dragon collection.

Book marks. When I was 10, I went with my dad to a bookstore and he bought me 2 bookmarks (the cute ones with the dangling tassels). And since I read so much, my friends and family thought that it was a logical little "happy" gift to give me. I have all kinds of bookmarks, but the ones i treasure the most are the ones my dad bought for me. (My dad was killed 2 years later)

I collect world banknotes (paper money and plastic banknotes). It's a very good and rewarding hobby, education and a great investment too.
