ahh I forgot......I do have a set of depression glass ..the pink with a rose...on it.but somehow I ddin['t consider that to be a collection, though I guess I should, for we never use it.....it was given to me by my mother when my husband and I got married. It was given to her when she got married in 1942. So, it's pretty old.....but I don't want to sell it.....but I don't like using it in case I break it......though I have used parts of it in the past.

My husband says I collect tea. I say I collect pounds. But I am trying to lose those. LOL
He may be right. I love finding a new tea. But can you collect something that gets used up? I have a salon so it gets used up fast. Ladies here really are into tea right now.

Long ago I collected Angels, but after hurricane Katrina, I've decided I'll just collect gold and silver coins...so if anyone has any old coins laying around, I'll take them off your hands!

Not generally. I have some select Fenton/Lenox/Carnival Glass items in 2 tall slender light up curio cabinets, but they'll full so I've stopped. One cabinet has a black (lenox kittens) purple (fenton vases) and gold (marigold carnival glass) theme and the other has a crystal, blue (fenton) and red (fenton) theme. So, at least it's organized and all matches! I'm not a fan of clutter. I can't stand to walk into homes that have shelves littered with trinkets and mass collections of photos everywhere. It drives me insane LOL I also hate to dust ... so maybe that's why I'm not much of a collector ... at least if you can put them in a closet curio cabinet you don' have to worry about that ...

not really, hate dust collectors and need to be mobile. I do have 2 more dogs though (after the sad death of the two we had before) m and am taking care of a third. Does that count?
