Despite the best-designed rules of collection, unexpected (and sometimes odd) things slip in.
Folks will purchase a set for you (pewter from Mexico) because they know you have a collection:
Since I don’t walk around sharing my collection rules, the occasional gift now and then is to be expected.
And every now and then you’ll spot a nativity that doesn’t fit your collection rules but you have to get anyway:
Who can resist a nativity featuring VeggieTales?
I’ve shared my collection with you all. Now I’m ready to hear from you.
What do you collect? Do you have any rules for collecting? Share away!
Re: Veggie Tales Nativity … 1 out of 3 ain't bad?
Junk. I collect junk. And dust.
@boncnstr – a girl's gotta have a bit of fun!
@john – to each, his/her own.
I used to have collections but we have had to stop for awhile due to space. I collect sets (book sets, movie sets, etc). The rule I have for the book sets is that I MUST read them and love them. Which means normally I borrow a few from the library and get into the series. I had Harry Potter for awhile, Shakespeare's works, then several series from author's I like (Patricia Cornwell, etc.) The movie sets are for movies that we love and watch a lot. We have Robotech's series. We want to purchase the whole series of That 70's Show. There are several others. I have a whole list of the movies & books I would like to purchase or unbox when we have space for it. š
