The emails are coming in fast and furious, and I just had to share. I had posed the question “what do you collect?”, and whew! some of the answers are wild! Personally, I collect coins, linen handkerchiefs (yes, that’s a strange one), porcelain hinged boxes, and blue and white china. Now, here are the answers so far–
The most popular items to collect seem to be silver spoons, thimbles, shot glasses from vacations, china tea cups, lapel pins from ski resorts and beads from an assortment of Mardi Gras events.
Next are hub caps, comic books, angels, Nancy Drew books (I have those too, as well as the Hardy Boys), Christmas ornaments of a certain type, and the magazines Playboy and National Geographic.
The oddest (so far) are pop tops from soda cans (someone has over 9000 of them!), wrist bracelets from different medical operations, human teeth (?) and photos of headstones in cemetaries with the same last name.
I’m always interested in what’s out there…….
