What do you collect?

eclipse · #1 07-07-2005, 09:38 AM

I thought I would start a light hearted thread...after hearing about London Explosions...I could use one

As I am the ever curious one...I was wondering, What do you collect? If anything- Now, I don't mean Stevie and/or FM stuff- That doesn't count-
I mean things, items- whatever that you are just drawn towards and keep.

I collect moons-
pendants, earrings, all different phases, different metals, even crystal moon catchers, pictures, books, I just adore the moon and find her facinating-

Anyone else care to share?

I have absouletly NO idea why....
but when I was a child (like 6, 7 8 years old) I used to collect keys...???
Old keys that went to------ who knows what/where....
I found them on the ground, in the woods-I just was always finding keys...Isn't that odd?

I must have collected around 60 or so before I realized..."what the hell was I going to do with them" anyway???
haha

perhaps I should have saved them and you could put them on your keyrings

just another collection memory-

Mostly music of all kinds:
LPs/CDs/DVDs/mp3s

Movies (VHS/DVD)...started to collect LaserDiscs, but that format is now, for all intents, obsolete.

Not so much as before, but I still have a HUGE collection of Penguin artifacts (tschotskes, stuffed toys, etc)

I collect classic automatic washing machines and dryers, and try to retore them and get them running -- kinda like collecting classic automobiles, but much smaller. I'm interested in machines from the first in 1947 until about 1979 when General Motors sold their Frigidaire division to WCI. If anyone here knows of an old automatic in their grandmother's basement or out behind the garage, please let me know!

Pens and fridge magnets from every city I visit. I keep pen "bouquets" in coffee mugs at work...

When I was a kid and my grandparents began to travel a lot, they decided to start me a doll collection. I have dolls from all over the world.

Anything having to do with music, especially vinyl, but also CDs, mp3s, tapes, magazines, books, VHS, and DVDs.

I also collect angels and penguins: ceramic, stuffed, etc.

I also collect candles. I'm a candle fanatic.

My favorites for scent are Yankee Candles' Buttercream, and Island Soap and Candle Works' Coconut. My non-traditional favorite candle is my Magic Candle. It is sooooo cool! It continuously changes color while it is lit.

I collect keychains (last I remember counting, I had about 350 or so).

I've been a huge fan of castles since I was a kid and have quite a few castle items. The largest castle-themed item is this Thomas Kincade painting:

I also have lots of records from my fave artists too.

estranged4life · #11 07-07-2005, 11:19 AM

music, be it cd's, cassettes, DVD's and the such.

Quit counting how much I actually have (There's a ton of music in our spare bedroom that belonged to my Mom, That I have yet to go through, Mainly Cassettes, LP's & 45's).

LiquidBlue5000 · #12 07-07-2005, 11:36 AM

CD's, LP's, tapes, video's, tourbooks.. little things like that..

Haunted Song · #13 07-07-2005, 11:47 AM

What a cool thread...it's really interesting to find out a little more about everyone.

In addition to music, I also collect moons and stars, winged hearts (not that easy to come by...but the collection is growing) and dragons. I've also collected "Bewitched" stuff for years.

My interest in photography is growing, so I'm starting to collect cameras and photos albums, too!

I mainly collect singles/LPs/cds/dvds by my favorite artists. Although Stevie is my absolute favorite (by far), I also have quite extensive collections of Sandra Bernhard, Sheila E, Corey Hart, 3p (German label), Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Indigo Girls, Ivana Spagna, Raf and Etienne Daho.

I also collect Nike sneakers, soccer outfits and vampire movies... Yes, I'm weird ;-)

I collect dust bunnies, dryer lint, miscellaneous items throughout my home that belong to two teenagers, bread twist ties, every single make-up/facial related item purchased within the past two decades, bags from the grocery store, boxes, pens that don't work, cancelled checks dating back to 1984, etc. Linda Goodman had me pegged.

Really though - I have a huge Dr. Pepper collection, currently on loan to a museum in Dublin, TX (where they still make REAL DR. PEPPER). My grandfather was a VP of DP and it was all his stuff dating back to 1929.

I have a decent autograph collection that I personally got from the people I have met including Stevie, James Taylor, Jackson Browne and others.

I also am a candle addict and we Stevie/Lindsey/FM fans seem to share the same passion for Yankee - Buttercream. I also love "For Everybody" candles scented as Birthday Cake, Chocolate Chip Cookie, and Sugar Cookie. My house smells like I am baking all the time. I'm such a cheater!
