Collecting things: what do you collect? (stamp, sport, cheap, Georgia)

[Badland wonder]

I can understand not collecting anything because of the clutter. That is why I collect rocks. You can always put them outside (along with the cat!).
My sister collects old cookie cutters and I have been trying to find some for her. Any one have any ideas where to look?

Personally, I don't care for old cookies, but each to his own.

I'd love to collect river stones, since I paint cute animals on them and turn them into garden decorations or paperweights. But, I don't scour riverbeds due to environmental reasons, so I'm a bit short on smooth paintable stones.
So, I paint mailboxes instead and now and again I come across a nice stone along a roadside and I get very excited!

Would you be willing to talk about your rolling pins hobby?

I'm a freelance writer in Riverside, California. I write a column for a publication called Antiques and Collecting Magazine. My column is called The Passionate Collector.

All I would need is about 30-40 minutes of your time for a telephone interview to talk about your collection.

I will hold such an interview at your convenience.

Let me know. My e-mail is mmichelsen@sdsualumni.org.

Thank you.

Mike

Fasinating thread! Use to collect Beanie Babies when the craze was hot in the late 90's. I was one of the nuts that stood in line when new ones came into a store! Can't believe how crazy that was and the money I spent! Gave away 99% to Toys 4 Tots through the years and kept the teddy bears. After I gave up Beanies, I started collecting antique art glass like amber and amberina objects. Also use to collect prints by an artist from the early 1900's by the name of Bessie Pease. Moderator cut: no advertising, thanks

Do you have any gravel pits around where you live? Might be able to find some larger stones to paint on. And yes, I have purchased painted stones!
I guess no one wants old cookies. Cookies on the internet are the favorites nowadays.
