Collected post cards of our county courthouse for a while, have one from 1894. Guess if I collect anything, that would be it, the post cards. They don't take up much space or collect dust in my filing cabinet.

In my opinion, at this point in life, collectables are money drains, and dust collectors, so I'm into simplifying. But if collecting is your thing, more power to you. We all have something that makes our lives more interesting & hunting for that special something can be a lot of fun.

I'm kind of there too!! I guess about the only thing I keep, not really a collection is mementos. After my father-in-law passing we have a lot of his things like birth certificates, Navy items including his uniform, you know just stuff about his life. I keep a lot of things of my sons and have things of mine and hubby's as well. They are in plastic tubs in the attic. It's nice to go back and read journals and things. Life is so different now.

She looks very similiar to mine. I wish I would have collected Barbies. But I just don't have the money or the room now! Would have been a great idea when I was little, huh?

I collect snowmen. They range from 1" to over 3 feet tall and have a place of honor in my living room year 'round. I have a couple dozen.

Hubby keeps promising to make me a full size one for the lawn, but can't seem to get started on it.

Those christmas villages are SO pretty! I don't have space for anything like that, but they really are nice!

I also collect holiday barbies! I have all of them except the first three in the series, plus 1995 (when i thought i was too old for barbies!) Last year, I also got the inuit barbie, and if i remember correctly, it was only sold in canada. It's gorgeous!

Man....I screwed up big time not collecting Barbies when I was little didn't I?? I could have a gold mine...although I wouldn't have sold them for the money. Like I said, mine are all put away in my attic. I also have a Bride Doll and a Chattie Cathy Doll. Those are old let me tell ya...LOL

The box that came with my Barbie was just that! A long narrow box, big enough for Barbie, but you couldn't see her until you took the lid off. I still have that box too. And shoes....lots of Barbie shoes.

I will get pics of them for you. But it will be around Christmas time. I'd have all kinds of stuff to move to get to them. I will remember though, because everytime I get the Christmas stuff down, I always look through my Barbie stuff.
