Tonight's topic is "Things" you have a tendency to collect.
My house collects dust. Does that count?
Seriously, I have a few collections. My biggest collection is of cute little sculptures called "Snowbabies." I stopped collecting them a couple of years ago, though, because I've run out of space to display them. I have a curio cabinet that is completely filled with Snowbabies, and a couple of Snowbabies snow globes which are in my hutch. Here's an example of what they look like: Department 56: COLLECTING - "Polar Express" - Snowbabies™ Retirements
I also have collections of cross pendants (I like to wear a cross every day and have received many as gifts). I love birds and fish, and have quite a few different items which are either figurines of birds and fish or items such as plates or pictures with birds or fish on them. I really have too much stuff in my house , but I can't seem to let go of any of my favorite things that I've collected over the years.
I was an avid stamp collector when I was growing up and I still have my collection, gathering dust on a shelf.

Oh yes we collect dust as well! I think most of us have too much stuff in their house. We certainly do. We've collected way too much of many things.

Does dog hair count in the same way as dust? I got enough to knit a Newfoundland!
