Thought this might be interesting, a way to learn something new about each other.

I collect souvineer (sp?) spoons, you know, the kind you get from travel centers or shops in tourist towns. To date I have 99 spoons! Some of them are really old (my grandmother collected them, and some of them are hers) and others are spoons people have brought back from trips to give to me. Oh, I guess I'm also collecting roosters now, since it seems like my kitchen/dining room is going to be furnished with roosters!

Love,
Naddya, CPhT(R)

I collect cows. The black & white ones. M foster mother & father had a dairy farm, as did the foster family I lived with before them. She also collected them. I'm not sure how many I've got, but my kitchen is full of them, my purse is the pattern of a cow. Anytime any of my family sees something with cows, they usually get it for me. Cows are supposed to be a symbol of riches. I'm still waiting for them to rub off & give me some luck! Lol

That's cute. I actually have a cow phobia. Maybe not a phobia, not quite that strong, but definately a fear!

My husband collects knives. Like, pocket knives and the such. He trades on forums and stuff, and has some that are pretty pricey that way. Now he's collecting yo-yo's, and he plays with them constantly. Even when he's watching TV!

Cows, like anything else, are cute when they are young. But, like everything else, they grow up! LOL

I collect folk art cats. But people just see cats, so they end up giving me non-folk art cats. So I separate them, the folk art cats are on one shelf and the others are scattered around Smile

I collect little precious moments figures / angels.

I'm currently looking for some sort of china cabinet to display them in, one that will match my other furniture Smile
