Just something small from me on a Sunday morning after a short break from here.
Does anyone else collect things or have something that they enjoy spending their time looking at? It’s possible there is already a thread like this somewhere, but I’m never sure about the etiquette linked to old threads.
I have always collected small things. As a child I used to have a shelf above my radiator that I used to set up almost like a museum exhibition for all of my intriguing items. Things like interesting stones, tiny toys and old coins would be part of my collections. Whenever I have a sort out, I often find many of the things that I squirrel away without realising it. I now have an area in my garage that is dedicated to this old style of collecting that I did as a child. I sometimes accompany the things I collect with a book linked to it, if I find one. For example I have recently bought a book on silver marks (which are tiny and therefore captured my attention immediately), so would like to find some thing to go with this book.
Other things I love to collect include trading cards such as Pokémon cards (but only the earlier examples) and interesting rocks and minerals.
Do you have anything that you collect or just enjoy to look at/ be around?
