Do you collect things? What do you collect. Share you obsessions here.

If you add more than one photo, please put the rest behind a spoiler to help keep the thread tidy.

Personally, I'm a collector by nature. I love things. Lots of things. XD

I collect

* all things Strawberry & Pumpkin (especially Jack-o-lanterns) themed things.

* vintage linens, handkerchiefs and lace.

* Natural whimsies / taxidermy type items (skulls, bones, quills, curio cabinet type things.)

* Antique books & periodicals on agriculture, social customs, home management and hand crafts.

* Vintage dishes & kitchen items like Hazel Scio, Fire King, Pyrex and Anchor Hocking.

* Make up. I love playing with make up. Which is silly, because I don't usually wear anything heavy / glam. But I enjoy it none the less.

* Little bone china animal figurines.

    I used to collect items with cats- figurines, jewelery, plushies etc. My collection was pretty big, but I eventually stopped, as I needed place for other items. I kept only ones that are special to me ( :

    I don't think I collect something nowadays- or at least, not on purpose, as there are some things that I just buy every time I have an opportunity to do so CX like cute notebooks/sketchbooks and lipsticks, I have quite a lot of them ( : Maybe also CDs of my favourite bands.

    EDIT: Wait, no, I DO collect something- I collect arts of my OCs, and my collectiong is quite big ( :

. . . ♥ ♥

I collect TY plushes, got a cabinet full currently! I've also recently picked up collecting these $1 solar powered trinkets, I love how unique and cute they can be. On the side, I collect anything that's related to Japan, from Maneki Nekos, teapots, to fans and umbrellas.

I used to collect pendulums as well, but grew out of believing those.

I've gotten less into collecting items as I've had an interest in minimalism lately. I tend to move around a lot/ have inconsistent housing, so having a lot of stuff is less and less appealing. But for some things, it's more important to me to have smaller collections with items I absolutely love. For those collections:

- Vinyl. I have a little cache of records, mostly metal and particularly black metal.
- Cabinet Curiosities like the OP: skulls, bones, antlers, crystals, feathers, etc. all nicely arranged in a shadow box.
- Metal lanterns with candles. I dream to someday fill my hole house with them! Sadly have had to cut back on these a lot...
- Probably the weirdest, is blue and black oranda goldfish. They're somewhat of a rarity so when I come across them, I take them home.
