Many people I know think I am :crazy: because I collect buttons. Not the pin-on kind, but rather the shirt type. I have 10's of thousands. What odd things do you collect????
 
Warts, old bandaids, boggers. :rofl: Just kidding.
I usually collected Beanie Babys :the bears only:, but I got too old and decided to stop but I saved them all. ALOT of them are retired :-D.
Since I was about 10 years old, I started collecting postcards, for a girl scout patch, but I still (now 20) collect postcards from all over the world, I make my family or friends send me postcards. Hmmm.. Nothing odd things I have collected yet..

I collected beanie babies (mainly bears, too). Now I collect all kinds of stuff that has the kingfisher 'laughing Kookaburra' -- the Kookaburra's the largest of the Kingfisher family. I have attached a picture of it in another thread...it's at Birds . I collect figurines, clay figurines, stuffed toys of kookaburras.... :)

Oooooer...I used to be a big fan of VC Andrews -- but have since lost interest in her books now cos after finishing the Flowers in the Attic and 'Heaven' series -- I realised that the storylines were basically the same, only different people -- always had a horrid grandmother in the background, dominating the family, etc. Plus, stories of incest amongst siblings.

I am still a strong and constant reader of Stephen King and will never give up on him. ;) He writes awesome books! Same goes for John Saul (haven't seen any new books from him lately...), Robin Cook, Dean R Koontz. :)
 
<---collect and keep old magazines and books, but the wife might kill me fer that LOL!
 
I also collect old magazines, some books, and random coins.

:lol: My husband already grumbles over my habit of hoarding old puzzle magazines as I haven't done the puzzles in them yet...want to hold on to them for a VERY rainy and COLD day to do some puzzling! ;)
 
Oh, BTW, I also collect international coins -- had a big collection of it in the early '90's, but an ex roommate stole them and sold them for drug money! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr :mad:
I've since accumulated a reasonable collection of coins again and I keep them in a safe place. ;) Even hubby helps me with the collection of coins and gives me some when he finds unique coins that he knows I'd be keen to add to my collection.
 
bbnt collects bellybutton lint. He said for us to send him some in Arizona.....

I collect.... old bills, I guess! They are piling up in my drawers already even though they are paid long ago. Seriously! I also used to collect sunglasses. Like La Femme Nikita at USA network. LOL
 
So far I remember I used to collect rocks, comics, National Geographic magzines. I don't collect anything anymore :(

I used to collect a lot of National Geographic magazines years ago, I still have a box of them sitting in my Mum's garage in California, currently collecting dust on it. ;)
 
those old National Geographics!!!!


I loved thumbing thru the pages of issues from the '40s to the '60's looking at exotic places and people.

I always wanted to have a collection of real Old National geographics and bought a stack of 'em for a start, but somehow I misplaced 'em during a move..oh well but I shud buy a CD-rom of the whole collection since I dont have enough room to keep all of 'em plus what more the very first issue in 1889 costs a cool 10,000!
 
I collect Little Mermaid stuff :) and antique stuff including dolls plus dolphin stuff, fairy and butterfly stuff. :D
