I have a collection of Seraphim angels in a curio cabinet.  I also have lots of teddy bears!

I’ve never been a collector but if I did begin a collection it would be paperweights.  I see some beautiful designs.  I used to look for beautiful paperweights to give to co-workers who were leaving or retiring, a memento of sorts.

I have a small collection of ericofons.
I like telephones and have other models, like French telephones, in addition to the ericofons.

I also have a small collection of Dutch wooden shoes.

I enjoy collecting vintage kid leather gloves and vintage pillbox hats, preferably with demi veils--and wearing them. I also collect Fiestaware but don't have any special preference for vintage or modern, just love the happy colors.

Currently, handbags, lol. Before that it was watches, bracelets, rings, and earrings. And before that Lladro figurines, Swarovski crystal critters, Limoges miniature porcelain boxes-- you name it. Now l consider these display collectibles a nuisance to dust.

l was first introduced to collecting as a child, when l was given a "stamps of the world" album as a gift. Then it was coins from all nations.

It seems I've always needed to be collecting something! Does that mean l have the makings of a hoarder?!

Books, DVD and animals.

Books, mainly--also clothes and shoes!
