typo alert!!!
I collected stamps for about the first 14 years of my life, than had a big break.I have only just back into it recently and am enjoying it immensely. They areally tell a story. I was in the post office on August 8th 2oo2.A dual release between Thailand and Australia became available that day. It is a waterlilly series. Waterlillies are very special to me. I look forward to buying them this week
I have collected every article that has appeared about my hub's bands since he got back into playing bass. And bits and pieces about other friends bands. It is quite an archive, I treasure it, others are delighted when they see a long forgotten article. A lot of the newspaper articles are very yellow now
I wish I had taken more care witht the storage.
I have a small collection(well it's growing) of animal figurines, my menagerie.
I love old china. I found a blue striped tea cup and saucer at a lawn sale years ago from Carrigaline Pottery in Co.Cork. Perfect condition $1
I recently found the matching milk jug, a bargain 50c. In another 10 years I may find the sugar bowl and have the set. I used to go to garage/lawn sales a lot when we were getting started, there is/was some treasure to be found. My 'friend and I called it "garage sailing" bit of yacht fantasy going on there I think. We had some laughs I can tell you.
So yes down right bower bird, I am, particularly attracted to blue things,just as real bower birds are
I collect stories too, you may have noticed
I definitely collect music and videos by musicians I love.
My kids got into basket ball cards one year spent a small fortune. I told them, "kiddie gambling" but then later they sprung me. They found my Elvis cards in my guitar case. That was a laugh.But I had only spent $2, but did they listen to that argument ? oh no
short answer...I place way too much sentimental value in objects, I love old things. I am on the verge of a big rationalisation, a cull....soon
