I collect badges that my rellies who served in wars wore. I also have a collection of bears, one 1 have had for 24 years. This week I have brought from ebay 3 bears each of which represent an ancestor in their occupation. I have a postman, a soldier and a policeman. Fi |

I've got loads of shot glasses, didn't mean to start collecting them but every time hubby went away on business he desided to bring me one back from the places he'd been. Ended up with quite a few so started doing it myself as well when I go anywhere. Fiona. x |

I collect Pendelfin bunnies. I bought the first one from a shop in Chester when we were on honeymoon nearly 31 years ago. It is the one called 'Twins', and it's a couple snuggled up in bed together - so sweet :-) Last count I've got 98, displayed in 2 big cabinets. They've all got names as well. Love them to bits.
