Are you a Collector?


Do you collect things ......... animal ornaments, teddies, thimbles, coins, stamps etc?

Let's see a pic of your collection...

I'm a sad person who collects fridge magnets of different countries, here's mine ........ most of them I bought and a few were given to me by family and friends...

I've got a number of gemstones somewhere, wrapped them all in paper for protection (from the days before Beauty so heaven knows where they are now)

Re: Are you a Collector?


I guess you could say that I collect cats. G always jokes that if you look in any corner of our house there is a cat lurking there somewhere.
Here are a few pics of just some of the cats i have.

Lovely collections, Mags and Elaine! Do you have a USA magnet...will look for one if you don't!

I collect tea cups and demitasse cups, salts, Chinese porcelain and early American pewter. Will do some pics after dinner, but not the pewter, it's on the mantlepiece which is covered with cards now.

Re: Are you a Collector?


I collect dog ornaments (of my breeds) and dog training books, will take a pic of the ornaments but will leave the books to your imagination! Also have a few other animal ornaments too, most of them are still not unpacked since I moved as I haven't got round to moving the display cabinet yet but will take some pics of the ones that are out for you.

Elaine those are lovely!
