Do you collect anything ?


As some of you will already know i collect dolls ranging from 1870 untill the present day. I have been collecting since 1977 and my hobby gives me much pleasure and interest. I enjoy going to fairs and doll club meets. I also do a fair amount of research and renovate dolls on an amateur level.
On a lesser scale i also collect vintage bears, Trolls and Esso men.
Am i trying to recapture my youth or what
What do other people collect ?

I used to collect different things - I remember those trolls - had several of those, don't know what happened to them though. Liked the little ones best. And gonks ......

Only small collection I still have are bird postage stamps although haven't actively collected any for ages. Keep them if something comes in the post though.

Now I suppose you could say I collect relatives that I didn't know I had via family history research - that's a collection of sorts I think!
