What do you collect?

[Aggie_Ama]

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!
