I collected china ducks until I got two kittens, now they're packed away until the kittens become cats.

I collect old books particularly those published by the 'Religious Tract Society', - not for religious reasons, just these were the first affordable books published for the general masses, and old household medical dictionaries. I also ask friends and relations to bring me back naff religious icons from their holidays - the more cheap and tacky the better - and there are some pretty awful religious souveniers out there!! lol maggie

Novelty Teapots - until I reached 200! Now I have started to collect African Masks - although I only have 2 so far from a trip to the Gambia last year!! L

Snails. Wood, plastic, glass, tshirts, placemats, paperweights, cookie jar, door stops, candle holders, garden stakes, jewellery, puppet, baby toy, jigsaw....etc. I have over 300 of them. That's what the icon is in my name...can you tell?

Well, I don,t collect anything but it was stamps when I was young. just before I retired I bought 10,000 mixed stamps which would give me something to do in retirement. Now, 20 years later, the parcel has yet to be undone, thankfully. happy days
