Old flat irons and stands,Poole pottery,Sylvac face pots,some sadler pottery,and old gurgle fish...as well as anything else thats interesting....bought an old metal fireguard with and original map under the glass front, even though I dont have a fire. You dont have to be mad to live in my house but it helps. Lynn

Aynsley china 'cottage garden'. Royal Doulton ladies Guiseppe Armani figurines (ladies) I have a small collection of paper weights My husband would say books because you can't move in this house for books and they are all mine - he doesn't read books at all. And photos. i also still have a stamp collection from when i was much younger but i gave that up. Ann Glos

No room to collect as we have a houseful of people but I could offer a VERY generous donation to the collection of Karen on the coast. Could even deliver, probably!.

I collect Penguinalia - we have everything from Biscuit barrels to ironing board covers, nailbrushes and toothbrushes. A pencil case penguin Wallace and Grommit style. Earrings, tapestries, loo seat ... my kids think I'm nuts. I never mention it to visitors but it gradually sinks in on them! A

I collect Pendelfin rabbits - got over 80 now, but that's small in comparison to some people's collections I've seen on the web. Just bought a new display cabinet for them, and it's filled already. Waiting for the next "specials" in October - called the Pearly King & Queen, and they are named Pauline & Arthur - guess I have to have them!! Pauline

I got the McDonalds toy bug a few years ago. Had three large boxes of them. They eventually went to a charity shop when we moved and had no room for them. I have started a collection of Butlins badges now, at least they dont take up much room.

Carol, just to let you know there are quite a few badges on e-bay!..

I collect Marie Curie Teddy bear lapel badges,and the Variety club Gold Hearts, Redundant Teddy Bears,usually found upside down in bins in shops,past their best. The bears not the shops. I feel sorry for them, little ceramic boxes and limoge cobalt blue china,you know the sort of thing with shepherdesses on in gold, small easter eggs and blue and white china. You know until I thought about it I had forgotten how much I do collect things.Oh and husbands LOL Rose

I collect tortoise - as long as they are small - but not live ones - I've toys, key rings, ornaments etc A friends nice new boyfriend noticed my collection when she brought him round for the first time to show him off and shortly after he brought me a tortoise he found on his trip to Hong Kong. My other half would say books - as I have tonnes of Sci/fi and fantasy books.
