The 2 dish patterns are: "Lido" by W.S. George, in Canarytone; and " "Crocksville China." No pattern name, but # 338 is on some dishes. The flowers look like Rose of Sharon.

I collect credit card applications...
Seriously, though, I just began collecting DVDs. I don't have a huge collection yet, probably around 100. I like getting entire series, like all of the Harry Potter, Spiderman1,2 & 3, X-Men, etc. I'm a fan of comic book based movies and dark comedy cult classics, Donnie Darko being all all time favorite.
If I had the money, I would love to start a collection of vintage Fiesta ware. I know I could buy it new, but I think it would be really neat to have a few pieces of original stuff.
Can you add a link to pictures of the kind of dishes you like? I'm interested in seeing what they look like.

I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.
Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.
The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.
Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

I collect tropical fishes ( not live ones though) and also seashells. Oh and a massive collection of books of all sorts, as its my fav pastime to read.
have collected a few electrical insulators from the 30 and 40's too, but they are harded and harder to find these days. most of the ones i have are passed on to me by relatives. they make good bookends and paperweights. and i figure if anyone ever tries to break in my house i'm gonna hit him with one of them(they are heavy heavy heavy)

I collect teapots and teacups. It's so fun to collect a variety of styles/sizes. They make great displays for every season! And I of course love drinking tea. :)
