I collect postcards. I have almost 300 now, I think.

I have no criteria for placing one in my collection. I usually buy a whole bunch when I travel. If it looks cool or pretty or funny, it goes in the collection.

I dont know if it's a collection or more of an obsession but I tend to hoarde post its, note pads, note cards etc. I have a huge box full...at least they are something useful.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

my friend has a fridge magnet that says...
the best things in life, aren't things

I agree
wholeheartedly

but can I walk past an old junque shop?
nosireebob..I have a bric-a-brac radar.
I like to have my kitchenware from as many parts of the world as possible.I was listening to a doco on the radio about Curtis Mayfield earlier today. I was washing up my beloved old mixing bowl from Yugoslavia. I've had it for years andcelebrated many a beautiful day with it's help.
I am so sentimental about things...I collect sad stories I think too....what a loss was curtis mayfield
anyway
*animal figurines..my glass and terracotta and china and brass and even plastic menagerie
*old books
*press clippings about bands with people in them that I know.

I have some weird and wonderful things I just can't part with....hub
no, j/k
A tacky plastic wind-up balalika that plays "Love Me Tender"
a bargain,50c I it, had to have it.
all my beloved "junque" would fit into a couple of boxes, i don't think it's TOO excessive...much...really



very large boxes

when it was bushfire weather, I put my photo albums and U2 stuff in a case ready to be the first thing packed U2

PS: I have two penguin figurines, one a gift from a very special friend. we share a penguin joke

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

gah, i keep forgetting to add things when it's too late to edit my posts. i should take a picture of the charms i have on my bracelet. i should get one this weekend to celebrate me getting a job. mayhaps i should wait another two weeks instead, since that's when i'll get my first paycheck.
