Rocks - I have them all over my house! I even have them in boxes in storage. Some day I am going to paint scenes on them all. Beautiful.
Sticks - I have so many cool ones, living in BC gives me lots to choose from. I have one that looks like the head and neck of a lady from the 1800s with fancy hat and all. The weirdest one that I have to put away and only show guests is one shaped like a penis. Seriously! It is truly the most interesting piece of wood I have found.
Movies - 1,246 and counting! I am working on collecting the tv series sets right now.

My wife say's I collect dust, she may be right. i used to collect pocket knives and NASCAR models, My wife collects anything, she has a storage rental full of worthless junk. I know a woman who collects couch's, her garage is full of them and stray cats she collects those to, I can't figure her out, my wife thinks she's funny but I think more like crazy.
