I'm (obviously) bored at work and just curious to see if anyone collects anything?

I collect Starbucks City Mugs. I buy a mug each time I visit a new city. I have about 20 of them right now and I've run out of room to store them.

I also collect sunglasses (about 15 pairs which is kinda funny because I only use them for about 3 months out of the year here) and handbags (about 30 and I'm running out of room to store those too)

Anyone else have any collections?

    We collect shot glasses from places we go. Haven't added any in a long time. :grumble:

    I also (shocker) try to hit local wineries whenever we travel & will get wine to add to my cellar. :love:

    Good movies on DVD. I have about 500 videos I taped myself -- that's 1500 films with an average of three per tape. I'm moving to DVD but can't keep up with the ones I have already burned. I have only documented all the purchased ones and my home-made ones through the first part of the letter M. That's 447 titles so far. I also collect good literature.

    Me, too! I do only what hubby and I call "schmoopie" ones though--ones that are hugging or kissing, or something--like kissing squirrels, hugging ducks, geese with intertwined necks, etc.

    I also collect religious stuff (like religious medals) and Lady of Guadalupe stuff. And, no, I'm not Catholic--I just love Guadalupe and religious medals.

    I collect Mattel Kiddles (small dolls from the 60's), Blendo (colored glass from the 60's), and vintage jewelry. There are about a dozen other things I collect but those are the biggies. My mother says I collect eclectic kitsch.

    Elephants...not real ones, ofc - but ceramic ones.

    My mom started collecting them for me when I was little (no idea why elephants - she is not even sure why - something about strength, loyalty, etc. But I've not totally bought into that :laugh: )

    Anyways, so people see all the elephants that my mom bought me and think I like elephants, so they buy me more. So now I have a herd and some of ceramic elephants.... I don't think I've bought myself a single one! I think elephants collect me, not the other way around :laugh:
