Now this is funny. I have moved from alimony checks to retirement checks....
I read all the post on this thread. I am very impressed with the interesting stuff we collect. I started collecting fat. I have gained 40 lbs. Last year. Also Betty Boop, deck of cards from places I have been. Pillsbury , see, hear and speck no evil. green M & M's. Pink depression glass and dead people ( genealogy ). Put my favorite thing to collect is alimony checks.

I collect ladybugs. Not all ladybugs, but just the ones I like. Jim Shore and Willow Tree. For a while I was collecting Christmas Carolers but not any more. I also collect genealogy records (haven't done that for a while tho).

What a fun thread! I collect boxes, but I collect boxes that don't look like boxes! LOL! Most of my boxes are wooden, but I have quite a few that are made of other substances too. I'm gonna attempt to post 3 pictures so you know what I mean!
Believe it or not, I got my sewing machine box years before I ever started sewing! It sure looks good in my sewing room though! :c) My gazebo is one of my more expensive boxes. The top of it opens, and the stairs also slide out to reveal a "box" area. And on the shelf pictured, the two burled wood pieces, the two Noah's arks, and the large globe are all boxes. :c)

WOW What a great post. Have smiled a lot. Brought back lots of happy memories. My collections seem to change with time. I started with stamps, next dolls then on to Waterford Crystal. Now I collect thimbles. I do have lots of WIP's and UFO's but they really collected me.
