I collect shot glasses from every place I travel to. I probably have about 50 now.
The ironic thing is I've never had even a drop of alcohol in my entire life  |

It's probably a little boring, but I collect magnets of all the places I visit. Even museums or shows I attend.
Since I travel alot, they are very portable.

Great thread! It is always interesting to see what others collect.
Some of my collections:
Old aqua glass bottles
Depression Glass (my favorite is green)
Pottery both old and new though I'm scaling back on buying more-wouldn't pass on salt glaze though
Old kitchen ware-they made things to last!
Jadite dinnerware
Red & white transferware mostly English but I've got some American made things too
Old oil lamps
Vintage floor and table lamps
Antiques
Original art (lucky for us my MIL is a professional artist and collector)
Frog figurines
Old trunks
Tons of books - they are stacked everywhere.
Anything pertaining to the Russian Revolution of 1917
Phew! Actually I haven't bought anything for my collections in the past couple of years except for books. I've got to sell some of this stuff on Ebay.

regrets.
My collection consists of only two but they are very potent:
1. Everything I have done
2. Everything I have not acted on

Green glass bottles (mostly Wheaton glass), Bing and Grondahl plates and a lot of kitsch I shouldn't. If it looks like my grandmother could have owned it, I usually like it!
And then there are the things that I don't collect, but they seem to find me anyway- baskets, children's books and old painted bureaus!

Antiques not as much as I use to for the fact to much dust around here, I've never lived any place with this much dust.
Mostly have more old fashioned Jewelry now adays. Easier to keep dust free and storing.
