    What do you collect?
    Just curious as to what (if anything) anyone on AMHD collects. I myself collect angels. They can include angel statutes and plates.

    Stamps. Lots and lots of stamps. Probably sitting on a gold mine and do not even realize it.

    Old antique boooks on Common Law. It amazing to see how the government has changed the rule to suit them.

    Fairies and glass icicle Christmas tree ornaments.

    I have only about 20 fairies... but I have about 250 icicles from all around the world, in many shapes and sizes.

    I have 2 collections:

    Boyds Bears. My grandma got me started years ago... now I have shelves and shelves of them.

    And what Curly bean said... which sometimes out numbers the bears.

    Lol... not surprised about the collection of medical books! Might we even say... you have more medical books than angels or glass Christmas tree icicles?? :eek: :p

    J_9... you need to let me know what you're replacing!

    I have so many kinds of icicles, some dating from the turn of the 20th century. Ebay is a favorite of mine, as are (believe it or not) flea markets. I've gotten some amazing icicles at antique stores, but that doesn't happen very often.

    And, of course, Christmas shops.

    Ooooh! I started that "days without a cigarette" collection this year too! So far I have 16.5!

    3916 days in my without a cigarette collection. Amazingly enough I'm still remotely sane.
    Trust me, it gets much easier after about the first week. :)
    I don't collect much else anymore, just books on Eastern philosophy perhaps, and I've pretty well whittled that collection down to the absolute essentials. My only other ongoing "obsession" is my photography. I feel compelled to try to add to that collection near daily in warmer weather. But recently clearing out a backlog of over 10,000 unsorted photos has cured me of that until well into Spring.
