    My mom and I used to collect all sorts of glass, jars, and the nick knacks made from glass.

    We had those bear types of grape jelly jars. Other animals too.

    We also had standard grape jars that had patterns on them, a lot from like Hanna Barbara cartoon shows. Scooby-Do for one, with the Mystery Mobile and the gang. Those were fun to collect.

    I used to collect all sorts of drinking glass that came out from McDonalds ranging from movies, television, and sporting events.

    Mom would collect stained glass ornaments and plasters the windows all around the house with them. LOL

    The best collections I remember was her glass bells. They were so shiny and beautiful. Elegant designs on them. Some had doves, some had a girl in a 18th century dress, one had praying hands, another had a beautiful Cardinal, etc. All glass. Save a few non-glass like the old school bell from the 18th century and also a bigass dinner bell out in the backyard. Works not for me since I am deaf, but the local kids will look for me if my mom rings it and tell me to get my ass home. LOL!

    So what do you guys collect?

    I also have a wall full of books.

    Shelves full of record albums and music CD's

    And whenever I see a movie, if I think its really good, I buy it

    So I have 2 bins of DVD's

    I used to collect stocks, I am kind of sick about that hobby right now.

    Stamps.

    My dad used to give me all his spares, just to keep me out of his way then I inherited his entire collection when he died - by default really as I was the only one who was interested in them lol! I also acquired two large collections from people I worked with - they were going to throw them away!!!!!

    Now I just need time to sit down and go through them all!

    Dear, delicate little Laura. I'm a T. Williams fan too. My favorite quote is from "Streetcar": "I have always depended on the kindness of strangers." Dear, delicate little Blanche.

    I collect books -- novels, plays (obviously), some poetry, comparative religion, travel, and cookbooks. I'm the best armchair chef you ever saw.
