Everyone gives me bears- I have a huge one that sits in a chair in my bedroom that my grandson wrestles with when he comes.I now ask for the tiniest ones they can find.They do take over the house. I also like the cobalt blue limoge arcadian wear- eggs- spheres in semiprecious stones and crystals

I also collect Teddies, of all sizes. We bought one for my youngest son when we came to Australia in 1974. It is a huge teddy, over a metre tall, and I have it sitting in the bedroom. I don't know what to do with it. I also have a Paddington Bear that is about 40 years old. I've just noticed, you said Talking Teddies. I haven't any of those. Sylvia

I collect tins too, big and small ones, but I don't know where to keep them as we only live in a small villa.I especially like the musical ones. Do you have any of those Joan? Sylvia in Perth WA

Claire (Lincs) my mum gave me a beautiful cut glass mustard jar with its own little silver spoon for Christmas, so I think I may start collecting these as well as the scent bottles. Would love to collect original Clarice Cliff pottery but can't afford to! :( Daisy
