Any areas, singles mostly and the odd blocks of new ones occasionally. Countries..none in particular..haha, I'm not fussy

[estranged4life]

for Cd's, Photos & Demos/live shows.

I collect all of those things! I'm too much of a completist to have just one group of those things. I know I'm crazy!

I collect a little bit of everything but tourbooks are probably my favorite thing to collect and then photos and demos & live shows would follow.

I have about 600 DVDs... silly, but I like having a big film library.

I also collect Stephen King stuff: books, magazines, memoribilia. For some reason, I've been crazy about his stuff since I was a kid. I guess everybody has a dark side.

I guess it goes without saying I like ANYTHING Fleetwood Mac-related: CDs, DVDs, laserdiscs, vinyl, 45s, posters, set lists, signatures, etc.

I took a few pics of some of the stranger things I have in my collection--

--a poster of Mick that frankly scares me since I hate clowns, I refuse to frame this and it sits in my closet....

-- some belt buckles, pins, a patch, ticket stubs...

-- a cool mirror that's right above the computer- it's a bit tacky to have it in my kitchen but I LOVE it.

--a mirror my MIL found at a garage sale for a dollar, and a glass (I actually bought 2 of them at a rummage sale for 50 cents each.)

I have the black belt buckle, and a variation of the penguin mirror(I think it's a variation- I've not seen it for quite some time, so my memory's fading.) I'm sure it's hiding in a closet somewhere.

Those belt buckles are heavy! Most of that stuff was actually acquired years ago from a lovely guy who sold us his entire FM collection. He used to be a huge fan, but over the years he decided he wanted to devote more of his time to religion, and clear out all the stuff from his crazy youth, so he asked if we'd be interested in buying his collection. To which I replied, "Alleluia!" We picked it up in the parking lot of a music store in Edison NJ back in 1997, and I remember going home and just digging through all these treasures-- records, 45's, articles, magazines, pictures.....oh god it was better than Christmas. I think we got the mirror w/ their faces on it from him also.

Anyone wanna sell their collection LOL?

Oh one more stupid thing-- totally OT-- but today I dropped off another bag for Toys for Tots, and as i was putting it in the box, there sat the chubbiest cutest little Christmas penguin I have ever seen, w/ a cap and scarf etc....and for a horrific moment i considered grabbing him and running off with him back to my car LOL. However, I left him there, I did the right thing. (Honestly if no one was around, I might have taken it, and how could I have lived with myself after that?!) But it was so funny to see this little Fleetwood Mac penguin staring up at me from that box; I actually muttered out loud, "Oh my god, a penguin."

You should have bought another toy and traded.

I used to collect newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, posters & tour passes, but I threw everything away. I kept my Fleetwood show tapes. Next, I collected some 45s from around the world. Now I can't find those.

Currently, I collect little buttons from the Australian '77 tour.

I used to as well - I mean even before I could drive - my mom used to frop me off at the public library in Lafayette, Louisiana (which actually is quite nice ) and I would research the band on microfiche (this is like in 1982 LOL) - I would also do the same for The Police because I thought Sting was the COOLEST thing on the planet next to La Nicks

I collected every clipping and piece of memorabilia I could find, from when I fell in love(circa 1978), up until about 1990. I then drifted thru the musical landscape for a few years, until finding my way home.
But I've still got every piece of memoribilia.

Cool mirrors! I have about 6 mirrors (and none are of the two you have!) Always something new to be found.
