aloha friday #19

alohafriday

Welcome back for another exciting round of Aloha Friday.  I ask the question and all you have to do is reply via my comments.  If you want to ask a question of your own visit An Island Life!

My question this week:

What do you collect?

I am not much of a collector.  I never want to claim that I am collecting something for fear it is going to spark a deluge of gifts of just that type of item for the rest of time.  But I will admit that I do like Willow Tree Figurines, and one might say I have a small collection of them. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!

Willow Trees figurines? Interesting.

I collect Maxfield Parrish prints.

WILLIAM said...

Oh and what you need to decide to collect is something really expensive...like tell everyone you collect diamonds...that waya deluge of gifts is a good thing.

Three Js said...

Ditto on the collection fear. The only thing I can think of is things with a playtpus on them, but I don't go out of my way to find them!

Sky said...

Boyds Bears and antique items.

i am not a collector. as a kid i collected keychains and stuffed animals (yeah, so not cool) anyways, it become too big. so as an adult, i have tired to not pick it back up.

I hear you, I hate the unwanted clutter and the fealing that you have to display your unwanted (un needed) dust collector thats why I to only collect willow trees, you know that ;-)

I collect old compacts that are decorated with jewels. I just love how pretty they are and always wonder about their history.

Kekibird said...

Not much of a collector of "things" but I have hobbies that turn into collections like stamps for scrapbooking/card making or frames for my picture collection.

Anonymous said...

I don't think I've ever collected anything. hmm, now you have me thinking, is that normal? :)

Becca said...

I try not to collect anything because I own too much stuff. But if I see a Lucy & Me figure I don't own, I buy it!

Unknown said...

Eeyores seem to have come my way.
I don't think of it as a collection though.

Amy said...

Books. Lots of em!

I hate figurines and stuff like that. To me they're just extra things that need to be dusted. And I hate dusting.

Sweet Serendipity said...

Hmmm, I used to collect shoes, but that's all changed, lol. Now..I don't know, kids books maybe? And with a great dane, I have quite a collection of dog hair!

Susan Cook said...

I have a collection of snow globes, that are currently collecting dust - lol. But haven't bought any in forever.

Kimberly@PrettyPinkMomma said...

I collect movie theatre stubs. I just always kept the stubs from most of the movies that I have seen. The one draw back is that they are not in a streamlined collection. I find them in my jewelry boxes, bathroom drawers, desk drawers, my purse - everywhere. I do like remembering the time I had with the person(s) that I went to the movie with, it always makes me smile.

PMKU said...

Nothing - well maybe photos but I try not to keep anything.

Heatherlyn said...

I like collecting the silver proof state quarters and Indian Head Pennies. I wouldn't mind getting those as gifts. :)

Brittany and Charlie-Social Butterfly said...

I love butterflies! And we also have several willowtree items. I love them!

Pineapple Princess said...

I'm not collecting anything at the moments, but if you looked in our garage, you might think we collect SHOES! Yikes! I think they are multiplying!

Stacie said...

I collect snowmen, and little teddy bears

Rachael said...

I collect unicorns in any shape/form including figurines, books, jewelry etc. I have 2 unicorn tattoos, and over 225 items in all. Yes, I am crazy.

Liz Mays said...

I don't think I've seen your collection before.

I collect Snow Village houses. I think I put them on my blog last year.

wife.mom.nurse said...

i do love those willow tree figures...

i'm not a collector. I love that Kimberly collects movie theater stubs.And would love to see flying giggles compasses wow.

Kristen Andrews said...

collect well shoes, handbags, tops you get the idea

Erin said...

I hate collections! LOL!
actually I have a shoe box in my closet with pins and patches I have collected from a bunch of places I have been.
I have a curio full of stuff I want to filter out and lovely hubby disagrees. he is much more sentimental than myself. Oh, I have 100000000s of photos! LOL

Andrea said...

I've tried collecting things in the past, but I guess I'm just not the collecting type. Nothing has ever stuck so far.

Anonymous said...

I collected bells all through childhood. Guess I don't really collect anything now.

Queenie Jeannie said...

I like Barbies. I have Gone With The Wind, I Dream Of Jeannie, and Marilyn Monroe dolls. Those are the only kinds I like. They look pretty displayed!

Jenn @ youknow... that blog? said...

Hey there! I'm blog hopping and found you via Cate's Show my Face blog. I think. Lots of windows open here...

I love the theme of your blog - very imaginative! You have a gorgeous family and the pictures are great :)

Oh, collections. I collect hard cover books - have hundreds of them, and many favorite authors.

I love willow tree - I have one wall plaque of a representational family that I adore.

Anyway! Drop by if you have time, the door is always open. I'd love it if you participated in my Wednesday blogging event: Silly Haiku Wednesdays. It's a lot of fun seeing what people come up with.

Have a super day!

JennyMac said...

Do shoes count? Outside of books, shoes, and handbags...we are trying to NOT collect anything. :)

Crystal said...

I collect vintage hats (that I wear to church on occasion), post-it's (which I have in all colors, shapes & sizes) and books.

Country Mouse, City Mouse said...

I like Willow Tree as well.

I don't think I am much of a collector either. I used to collect spoons, but now they just collect dust on the spoon rack!

erin said...

I collect autographed hardcover books. Maybe someday I'll read all of them, too.

Matt and I also have a tendency to collet tickets stubs, but that could just be that we never get around to recycling them.

Cathy said...

I have a collection of spoons from different states. My husband adds to my collection when he goes on business trips. Now, if he would be so kind as to buy a case to display them...

Megan said...

Moose, moose and more moose.

I used to collect dalmations but then all I was ever getting was the Spotty Dotty items, which I wasn't especially fond of so I stopped. Although, I still have everything packed away in boxes.
