I have many. Lol<br /><br />I have cookie jars all over the top of my kitchen cabinets (in the space between the top of the cabinet and ceiling). Probably 20 or so. I ran out of space. Many are family treasures and some I've found in antique shops. I also have salt-and-pepper shakers that match many of them.<br /><br />We won't consider my books a collection. Way too many. Way too diverse. So many that they are a little scary sometimes. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-64070181704283122802010-05-12T13:25:43.238-04:002010-05-12T13:25:43.238-04:00Gosh, Monica, I guess even one is a collection if ...Gosh, Monica, I guess even one is a collection if you plan to add more?

I have them all and smile when I see them on the book shelf. <br /><br />I collect hand painted sock yarn (some would say I hoard it). I collect violinist figurines. I've been doing that since I was a teenager so I've got quite a few now. I am getting a fairly large collection of beaded jewelry that I've made. But my most favorite collection is of knitting figurines-which are very hard to find.<br /><br />My husband collects movie DVDs and computer parts.Beadknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380412691775978255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-24001109682352656732010-05-12T10:30:32.882-04:002010-05-12T10:30:32.882-04:00Actually, I have four Candace Liddy bronzes: the d...Actually, I have four Candace Liddy bronzes: the dream piece, Boys Night Out, Dune Dancer and Feet Don't Fail Me Now.<br /><br />And an awful lot of socks, though I consider those necessities, not a collectionMonica Ferrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722045113589668612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-13479819364789707882010-05-12T10:10:38.679-04:002010-05-12T10:10:38.679-04:00I collect wood carvings or bronze castings of owls...I collect wood carvings or bronze castings of owls, ravens and herons ... the pride of my collection is a meticuosly carved native American piece ... an owl only 2 inches in height.<br /><br />My husband collects fountain pens.<br /><br />By the by, I loved visiting your hat gallery on your blog ... my collection of hats numbers a mere six, most of which are utilitarian broad-brimmed sun hats. My daughter has started collecting vintage hats since her significant other is an antique car enthusiast and she needs to complete her costumes with the perfect hat. She already has a significant collection of exotic headgear [tiaras, crowns, chain mail headdresses] to wear at the fantasy and faerie conventions she attends several times a year.rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141923797221351378noreply@blogger.com
