What do you collect?

Oooooh! I love collections!

The lunchboxes are lovely! My husband sold a perfect Roy Rogers one on ebay for a small fortune.

I do love hats too, and re-homed a vintage pile of them when my grandparents passed away. After dusting and vacumming them on my walls for about 15 years, I took them off to preschool where they are worn daily, but somewhat more roughly tended.

So in our current house of cards, if you look for 'things of a kind' you could find lots of marklin trains, steinbach ornaments, red things in the kitchen, and 'wedding' china (mostly from ebay, and after the divorce), and lots and lots of loosely associated stuff that probably is best suited to the discard pile.

4G Photo 30GB
5G Video 60GB
2 nanos (lost one and replaced it)
1G shuffle (gave to my niece), a 2G shuffle (traded for an Airport Extreme) and last month I managed to get my brother's hand-me-down iPhone (1st G)
