Depends on the decade of my life. I have collected different things throughout my life. I am in limbo right now, but have collected Currier and Ives dinnerware, Puriton ceramics, old linens/quilt tops, salt/pepper shakers shaped like books, old wedding photos, late 1800's pictures, old sewing machines, and what ever has struck my fancy.

My collections are in the garden, where (being in NY) I can ignore them half the year and enjoy them the other half.
Hostas...
... tall phlox...
......unusual lilies of the valley (double-flowered and pink)...
and, unintentionally, weeds. ;-)

I am always collecting something...exspecially if it catches my eye. My main collections are old beads and the oldest beads I have are from the 1920's. I collect old greeting cards, old post cards, shot glasses, ceramic and glass eggs.

Its sad to say but I worked with a guy who was always telling me that he collects ex wives......I think he is on #9 right now.
I like the one about collecting children, but somehow I was envisioning a fairy tale when I first read the post. For a second I was thinking you were working on a stew or a sweat shop I wasnt sure LOL!!!!

On purpose, pin cushions, thimbles, hummingbirds, chickens, cups I like, and just started to collect orchids since they seem to do well in a certain spot in my kitchen.
Without trying, clutter! I am working on breaking that habit!

Funny that those dust bunnies and scads of cat hair are in Alabama also. I collect cats. I taught Kindg. for a number of years and was in real estate for over 15 years. So when someone would see a cat or two on my desk, then I usually ended up with another one or more. I retired and luckily have a large kitchen counter where most of my cats reside. I have two fur babies Miss Kitty and Ringo and on dresser drawer with nothing but "cat" shirts.
