I collect frogs not real ones, china, clay, anything. Hubby collects thimble sof places we vist. Daughter collects postcards from the places we visit too, she has loads and each one is dated and mounted in a scrap book. She also writes a couple lines about the place. Usually including who she visited with, as sometimes she has been palces with the school, guides etc and not us. The three boys don't collect anythng yet!!!!! ALthough the do go with the fads... pokemon cards and the football ones too.

not intentionally .. but coins... i have ended up with a few hundred dating right back to the romans. Old books and stamps .. since i was about 7. and im .......... 21 ;-) now... ahum!!! Andy

The Peter Fagan 'colour box' cats .... my brother bought me one for my 25th birthday and I've been adding to them ever since ...

Mainly elephants - not the real ones you understand, I don't live in a big enough house! I have hundreds now, ornaments, bookends, cards, fabric, cushions, trays, everything and anything to do with elephants. It all started with pink elephant plastic 'icecubes' and went on from there - when people couldn't get pink ones, they went on to other colours, textures, materials. Now I am putting on weight I think I am turning into one too.

I collect thimbles and sewing sets. M.

Character Dogs made by Robert Harrop of Shropshire. Golly badges, salt & pepper character pots and did collect for a while but have now run out of space to put them Novelty teapots. Golly badges takes up the least room!

I remember not long ago I had a thing for dragons! My mother in law one day commented on how unusual they were which prompted my other half to chirp up... 'Oh yes! She has a tendency to collect ugly things' I looked at him lovingly and said.....'Obviously' Kept his mouth shut after that. Bev x
