This sounds strange, but it started innocently enough. Many years ago for the sake of my clothes I started useing plastic hangers and gradually got rid of the wire ones. I bought the plastic ones in lots of colors, and over time I had quite a collection. One day it occured to me why not sort the clothes onto hangers the same color to make them easy to find. So now my blue shirts are on blue hangers, etc. This has grown into a bit of an obssesion, if I see hangers in a new color I don't already have I must buy them. (I'm lucky hangers are cheap). Like other people with collections I even have my "rare pieces" - hangers from the 70's in colors like rust & olive that are no longer made. I'm curious if anyone else has an odd or unusual collection?

I collect seashells and unusual rocks. Then I make things with them. I have created a beautiful mirror by finding a cheap, plain, framed mirror, then pasting all kind of different shells, crabs that have left there molting behind, and some small rocks on the frame. It is something to see. Everyone thinks I bought it like that and can't believe that every thing on it is real.
The bigger rocks I use in my gardens as a border or decoration.
I love the outdoors and ocean.......can you tell? I live near it and like too have a small piece of it in my home and yard. The ocean is very calming for me and always cheers me up when I am feeling blue.

I collect rocks too. When family or friends go on vacation they will ask what I would like for them to bring me as a souvenir, I always ask for a rock that they found. I even have one from Mt. Everest!
I also collect that vintage colored aluminum stuff, you know the pitchers, bowls, cups, cake takers. I even collect vintage aprons. I can usually find them at thrift stores for $2.00, but $4.00 is the most I've paid for any!
Happy Collecting!!

I collect cameras, mostly. And camera accessories. And anything camera related.
And porn, of course.
