I have been looking for a new hobby, and I think it would be fun to start a collection of some sort. Trouble is, what to collect? Can't be too large- don't have much room in my house. What are some collections you all have?
Ha! I just realized I do have a collection already. Rocks!! All over the porch and around the house. We have a farm and have to pick rocks in the fields so we find some pretty cool ones. I just never thought of it as a hobby!!
You might like to check out the Dirty Rockhounds Forum - sorry, don't have the link handy, but it contains posts from rock collectors from around the world and is fun to read.
What sort of rocks occur around your area? We have marine fossils, beautiful geodes, fluorite, and gorgeous, colorful banded agate here in Kentucky.
I collect die-cast metal models: airplanes/warbirds of the World War II era, commercial airliners, BMW 2002 and Porsche 911. I want to add vintage motorcycle (Indian) die-cast metal models to my collection but these are expensive.
I also enjoy building plastic airplane scale models and I have about a half dozen Guillows warbird models (tissue paper on balsa wood) that I haven't started yet.

I collect coins, vintage fountain pens, vintage toy tin cars, and throwing knives.
I just saw a collapsible fishing pole in my room, and now I'm thinking about collecting old fishing poles/reels (and miniature/folding chess sets.)
Another poster suggested to go to the flea market and look around, and I think I'm gonna do that.
Nothing, I don't like all the clutter and extra things around the house to dust.
Never have been a collector however, a cousin of mine collects salt and pepper shakers and one niece collects Thimbles.
