What do you collect? - Page 2

I collect bowls

TAPPY · 11-11-2006

Glass Murano type paperweights....but I have started to give them away. I am getting rid of stuff and trying to de-clutter my life.
I have about 40 of them at my office.

My daughter collects snowglobes, but the cats keep breaking them.

My Mom collects those Christmas nutcrakers..I guess one day I will inherit them.

Nice collection... I see you also collect beer steins, Beer Dude!

Bells
Mostly from places I've been myself, sometimes gifts from my kids/extended family.
Useful for calling the family to dinner, too!

original art, too, but mostly my Mother's... she's pretty good.

I also collect snow globes. So far only one's been broken, My mexican cat has an obsession with throwing every possible thing off the counters, so I now have them on a shelf that he couldn't get to if he tried.

I collect shot glasses too. Figure the collection stands at about 600+ at this point. I've got a slew of Hard Rocks and a buncha Planet Hollywood. The remainder are from my travels and also my friends/coworkers. Seems whenever a coworker comes back from a trip, I find a shot glass on my desk.

David's made me a couple of custom-fit shelves in my living room about 8" down from the ceiling which house probably close to 100 of them. The rest are either in my glass cabinets or packed away.

When I FINALLY buy a house (I think next spring I'll get serious about it), then David can make shelves for every room so I can display all of them.

Gotta say one of my FAVS right now is an etched Bumper shooter glass. Was waaaay touched when I received that one!!

I used to collect soda bottles or anything to do with soda bottles-signs-mugs-
wood crates-bottle racks-soda machines-bottle caps-that turned into bottle
collecting-colbolt bottles-poison bottles-any old bottles I could find.
But that was all years ago-got tired of trying to keep them clean all the time,
sold most of my collection on Ebay, a long time ago.

First pic was my favorite bottles Sweetie chocolete soda-as far as I know I had every bottle they ever made.

Next pick used to be my back porch-became 2 more bottle rooms.

Some poison bottles-barber bottles-an old fire bomb.

And the last one on of my favs.

I still have about 500 bottles but I know longer add to my collection.
Just don't have the time or the money to invest any more.

I've had a few collections of 'stuff'....currently just a cabinet of old composition dolls from the 1930's, my new fave - Artist Trading Cards, and boxes and boxes of photographs...I've always been a nut for taking too many pictures!

Banzoomba · 11-11-2006
