What do you collect?

My small blades. The one on the bottom is a beauty, mammoth ivory and damascus steel, a birthday present.

Wildhawk- You gave me the idea to start another collection, much to DH's disgust. I bought a patch from the state park we camped at this weekend. Now I want to go back to the others we have been to in the past couple years and get patches. DH said I should sew them on a camping duffle, not a bad idea since I have been looking for a nicer bag for camping.

I collect 1930's-1950's stuff. I have a collection of chrome appliances (toasters, blenders, coffeemakers), painted mixers, blenders, 3 green/cream porcelain stoves, dishes, advertising, cupboards, and the real deal jadite glass-shakers, canisters, bowls, and dishes. My kitchen and dining room runneth over. My dining room table is a chrome and yellow crushed ice pattern of formica and vinyl. OH, and can't forget the plaster fruit collection too. I want to achieve the ultimate of tackiness in my kitchen and diningroom...and I love everything in it.
I have decorated my bedroom in sorta the paris/french feel. I got lots of those 50's porcelain pink spaghetti poodles, and they all wear the cat eye glasses or have rhinestones on their collars. I have the cheap prints of ladies that look like they came from paris, with the parisols, lovely hats, gloves..

Longaberger baskets. I have about 300, in a 1,000 sq foot house. I might be selling some soon!

Oops, I forgot, I do have a collection! Refrigerator magnets from all the places we travel to. Inexpensive and easy to display. And no dusting required!

I'll have to remember take a pic of mine, I have a WWII Japanese NCO's samurai sword...very sharp and very lethal looking. My Great Uncle was a Catholic chaplain in the South Pacific during the war, he brought it back when he came home and gave it to my dad.

Dreamsicles, although it has kind of morphed into angels in general.
My sisters and I exchange Christmas ornaments for the past several years. I enjoy that because every year when its time to put the tree up, I have ornaments that I have forgotten about.

Last, nail polish. I do my own nails, and I love funky colors.
