I collect Barbie movies for my daughter. I started buying them for her starting at about age five. I enjoy them too and now we have every Barbie movie. A new one is coming out next week. So excited!

I collect art. I usually try to buy two pieces a year. I have been doing this since I was 23. My house is getting kind of full.

I also like to collect new artist's work. Actually, that is my favorite thing to do.
I like the idea of P Buckley Moss being the People's artist of Virginia. That's just wonderful.
She is the true under dog. She rose above her disability and became famous with a brush!
I like her, a lot.
I am so glad you have a passion. It's important. The book I am writing is about Passion for love and Daisies.

I collect frogs. NOT the alive ones that hop around the yard (although one made its way into the kitchen the other day and a week ago a very tiny one was in my bathroom. Figurines of frogs. They are from all over the world (my mom traveled alot and always brought me a frog from every place she visited....Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Alaska, Gallapogos Islands, Central America. When I got married, we took ten weeks to travel across the US....I got several frogs on that trip as well as other, shorter trips that I've taken over the years. I also have stitched frogs (I think Vietamese or Laotian women sew them) , made with beautiful shiny material. There are two pitchers and coffee cups, too. My favorite is a two-piece ceramic. One piece is a grand piano. The second is the frog, sitting on the piano bench, his little hands poised right above the keys. I think it cam from Rhode Island.

How many years do you think you have been collecting? Do you remember the story behind each frog? My grandma paid 10 cent a week on lay away for her dishes. I love the stories behind the collectible.
I probably couldn't recall all the stories of my frogs, but quite a few. Most are in storage now, as I moved and had to pack them up. The antique display case they were shown in has a broken foot, so they will be out of commission until the case is fixed.

I inherited my late wife's foreign currency collection. She had a nephew who worked on various merchant ships, and he always sent her some whenever they visited a new port. I also have a fairly large stash of US silver coins.

I collect ring tabs off of soda cans and beer cans and I store them all in whiskey and wine bottles. I have a collection of about 3 dozen lrg. bottles and 7 of the small ones. They are all filled. Do you realize how many thousand of tabs I have? If I ever hear of a charity that is not an urban legion, I'll donate them...

If any body knows for real a charity that will take them, let me know... I started collecting them for a man at my job who used them for something. Well, he died but my habit didn't.....

I get a bottle of sand from every beach we go to... And those pressed penny tokens that you crank out at tourist attractions.... My daughter started a button collection a couple of years ago so I am always on the look out for those (the pin button not off of clothes). My son is trying to get all 50 states liscince plates.... I would like to get them from all over the world for him too.

I like the buttons and license plates too. I know you are talking about the button pin. My grandma sewed for a living, she had the prettiest mason jars full of colorful buttons. She use to let me play with them when I was very little. When you wrote buttons, I was flooded with memories. Thank You, I forgot about the buttons.
I only get the sand from places we have been... We all collect it together. The kids will not be here for many more years but there fingers running threw that sand will aways hold them close to me.
