I love looking at the weird and wonderful things that people collect. It gives you such a fabulous glimpse into the person and it is often a surprising and unexpected view.
At our place we have a few collections - Surfer boy collects Lego minifigures, I collect floral teacups, Gidget collects Babysitter Club books and Moondoggie... well he's still waiting to see if Dad will share his collection!
What I have come to realise is that we seem to collect other stuff that we haven't officially admitted are collections yet. For example, any man who has 9 surfboards from various eras should admit that it is a collection! I have also realised that Surfer Boy collects antique wooden hand planes that are stashed away in his workshop. They may be in working order but essentially he collects them for their beauty not their usefulness. And apparently I am the one who hoards!!
Of course my 'gorgeous girls' are a recent collecting joy and I'm sure there are other things that could be classed as collections but I'm not admitting it.
