A girl only has so much room. I also used to collect salt & pepper shakers when I was a kid. A family friend had a huge collection, and as a little girl I was awed by all the animals, cartoon figures, whimsical designs. Some of those shakers can be worth a lot of money to collectors.<br /><br />As a hobby, it didn't last long for me, and as an adult, I prefer to grind my pepper so it's fresh, but I still love them. Do you have any favourites?J.H.

Very cool stuff. Since my husband already had started his own coin collection, I'm leaving it to him to organize my dad's collection to his liking. <br /><br />For a short time, I collected pewter figures (some holding crystals). That was fun, but kind of expensive to keep up. We have a big collection of Christmas decorations--the tiny village and animals type of thing. Had to stop that when we ran out of room. I'd like to start a cloisonne collection. That stuff is so pretty.Tamara Narayanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03725262301091012950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-81481011954948968322016-10-13T17:59:51.622-04:002016-10-13T17:59:51.622-04:00I bet those are really pretty when the light hits ...I bet those are really pretty when the light hits them, shines through them.

I think that's enough most of the time, but like you, I wonder if a true passion for one specific thing might be interesting. A friend of my daughters collects the first Harry Potter book in the languages of countries she's visited - it's her ideal "take-home." I considered that as I gazed on an edition of The Hunger Games in the Amsterdam airport . . . but I didn't buy it. I have too many Christmas ornaments and magnets already so I hesitate to collect any more of those. So . . . pictures? I figure that if I'm going to collect anything, it's going to have to be tiny.Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-44054228142797037822016-10-12T14:01:25.450-04:002016-10-12T14:01:25.450-04:00Collections can equal clutter if we're not car...Collections can equal clutter if we're not careful, but if displayed well then it's all good. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.com
