What do you collect (the more unusual the better)?

I collect mugs/tea cups and 3d glasses!
As I child I collected silver teaspoons (I know, an obvious joke can be made here). I have about twenty of them and they are all beautiful but are hidden away somewhere in a plastic bag. I really should get them out and give them a polish.
Well I used to collect leather bookmarks when I was a kid, had a hundred and something, as well as stamps, still have them buried in the bottom of my cupboard somewhere. Now I collect paper, postcards, greeting cards and books up to the ceiling.

I collect postcards. It's good if people have sent me them, and I hang these off a ribbon on my wall to look at for ages before putting them away in a special photo album. I can never resist buying postcards too, particularly if i'm in a gallery or museum. i just love them. they come to be snippets of me, with which i decorate my room. just sitting here at my computer and staring at one from Poland from my grandfather, and another which I bought at the Wellcome library cheers me up. I love the affordibility of them, and the accessibility. I like the shape, and the feel of the card. They quite honestly make me happy, and they remind me of the time I bought/received them, and how I was feeling, what I was doing them. I also love it when i get surprise postcards in the post, when i'm not expecting to hear from a friend, or not expecting them to have gone on holiday.

Hey, I like your blog!
I collect kids drawings. They inspire me.
ribbon, lace, and buttons! the more vintage the better.
also, anything with a cupcake on. for obvious reasons ;)
and i seem to collect blank journals. but that might just be because i buy too many.
for the record. i want that green glass candlestick :P i have a couple of bright pink ones! they aren't as pretty as yours though.

I collect quite a few things, come to think of it: postcards, cinema & concert tickets, unusual guitar plectrums, badges, scarves, vintage lace, ribbon, comics, shells (I love living near a beach!) - these are in an old shoe box or looking pretty on my windowsills nestling amongst seaglass, driftwood and other things found whilst beachcombing :)
When I was little I loved collecting stickers (I still have my old sticker albums), postage stamps, foreign coins, sweetie wrappers, you name it!
