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 |

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 |

I collect glassware form a company out here called Smashing Glass. They do all sorts in a lovely design with the Pohutakawa flowers on it. The Pohutakawa is also known as the Kiwi Christmas tree, cos it flowers in December and is covered in red flowers |
