Remember sketchy Tracy on BB?

She collected carrier bags

So do I Recently I threw out a whole stash of hoarded carrier bags into a recycling bin and it felt quite cathartic.

I went to a collecting exhibition at Carlisle museum several years ago. They had someone's collection of carrier bags strung all around the walls and across the ceiling, like Christmas decorations. There was also a cabinet with someone's massive collection of "My Little Pony" toys... Dinky toys... Badges... All kinds of stuff. It was actually all pretty interesting.

snowglobes - oops, thats what i meant in my earlier post, but I said snowstorms. Did it still make sense?

I bet they look fab - nuttywoman, my friends collection does , and attracts much comment! Everyone has their favourites.

I have a couple of snow globes that my mum bought. They are damn heavy things.

My sister collects dolls, she has them all over the house. A couple of years ago my daughter stayed at her house to look after the dog - they where on holiday - anyway i called round one night and everyone of them had a tea towel slung over their heads.Daughter said they looked evil and could`nt bear to have all those eyes following her around !

I am a collector of Disney pins. I have quite a large collection which is forever growing. I focus in particular on Disney theme parks and Mickey Mouse.

There the truth is out.

You could get a lot on ebay for them, depending what they are.

There is a huge worldwide market for them.

Old, empty rum containers. Often I've had the privilage of emptying them myself.
General items of local interest.

Mentioning the sick bags you collect, reminds me of a `ladies paper bag ` the ones that are sometimes in ladies loos to put `ladies things in them ` well my daughter brought one home from a loo in Germany and it had a Pistol motif on it. Why ?

This story in all the papers a couple of day ago, about a stamp collector who embezzled £70k to feed his stamp collecting habit

Fanatical stamp collector steals £70,000 from churches

I am pretty sure I have that World Cup '66 stamp shown in the article... I have an old childhood album stored away somewhere with lots of old stamps that I inherited from a family friend - I think it's in there

I used to collect frogs! (not real ones aww) Everthing I had was frog related! Also whenever I went on holiday I had to buy a frog ornement! Apparently Wendy Richard (EE) Collects them also. Poor cow.

I used to collect coffee jars. not different jars but the one's I'd used. Gold Blend. I collected hundreds of them in a few years. I took them down the bottle bank when I moved house though. The pointless collection was of it's time.

For sometime i did collect old computers and games machines, including everything the went with them games, controllers, books, etc..... Got rid of them sometime back. I do miss them, wonderful nostalgia value they had. Maybe one day i will start all over again!
