Hi Teresa And leonard:-) I agree they are Beautiful .one of my favorite animals,Ive been collecting them for over 30 years now,I have all sorts,they are all in storage because there are just to many to display.

Thimbles - coz everyone brings them home from holidays Chinadolls - but run out of room Old photos - well I'm trying, all of ancestors Certificates - but don't we all? BMD mainly. oh and clutter, dust and old clothes (which I need to send to the charity shop but never get around to it!)

All things frog shaped - it started when my OH designed & printed the school play poster in 1983/4 for Wind In The Willows - I framed the print & we still have it!! PLUS lots & lots of frogs from around the world in all sorts of materials . I also like vintage wedding photographs - i collect them from the internet and print them off on kodak paper ( I couldn't bring myself to buy real ones that people have tossed out ) I also collect dust - LOL Much happiness Debi

Dragonfly you had agood buy there with the myth and magic. The yearly ones cost about £60 each. Jackiexx

Reg my OH would say he collects those - he only has TWO though LOL and they were brought as a present for him .......... Caithness makes!!

I used to collect Myth and Magic Jackie I have loads but ran out of space to display them so don't do that now. My favourite is the chess set I bought out of my redundancy money made sure I had something nice out of it. Now I collect old teddy bears mostly from the 1950's love the Chad Valley from that date. Running out of space for those too. Have to sell some if I want more. Gwen what a good buy you had don't find bargains like that up here. Germaine x

PP I also have the 4 wise monkey ornament! brought back by my daughter from somewhere. Ann Glos

I used to collect old coins, stamps, matchbook cases and postcards. I still have them all but don't collect them so much now. I'm now into collecting Victorian style photo albums and Victorian & Edwardian style brooches. With the albums, I print off all the old photos (black & white or sepia) I have for each family tree and put them in these Victorian albums. Some I keep for myself, others I give to relatives as they make lovely presents and very unusual. I start the beginning of the album with the oldest photos of a particular family and work my way through to the end of the album with photos of their descendents. Anyone interested in having a go? You can find these empty albums for sale on ebay (search on Victorian albums or similar). Athena

Special Edition bottles of Jack Daniels. Up to 7 now. When anyone asks when OH and I are getting married the response is: when we have 12 special edition bottles. One for each table at reception. Don't intend to let collection get bigger than 10. lol T.O.R. x

I collect thimbles but am having to get more specialised now otherwise I would run out of space Janet
