Thread: anyone else collect things?

I collect Hard Rock bears! I want to visit them all and collect bears from each! Some are in poor condition due to my being a messy child. Lol

I collect Camel cigarette tins and anything dealing with the old Joe Camel.
Old welding helmets, pens, pencils and things of that nature. I'm starting to collect money, it's a facinating hobby that has it's rewards. It might come in handy when we get our camper. We are going to start travelling around the US.

I have had various collections over the years... used to be Emmett Kelly Jr. Clowns, (everyone hates clowns and I don't understand why), Precious Moments, Old Antique Locks and keys, Masks that hang on the wall, little charms that my boyfriend made me a HUGE dream catcher and wove a lot of my charms, locks, keys into, I used to collect $2 bills, 50 cent pieces, silver dollars, etc... but with the economy well... they got spent! Over the years I have downsized and gotten rid of a lot of the items that I collected, now I think my biggest collection by far is UNPAID bills. *LOL*

My wife collects diamonds no..... she does collect Pampered Chef items and Longaberger baskets though. She hasn't bought any in awhile, that gives me an idea of what to get her for a whenever gift. I like giving "whenever" gifts. No special occasion, just out of the blue, gifts that let her know that I do think of her.
