In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays let’s take it easy on posting, too. Ask a simple question…nothing that requires a lengthy response. It’s a great way to make new blogging friends!
Let’s get right to it! My question for you this week is:
Do you collect anything?
I’ve mentioned before that my favorite animal is deer. My sister and I were deciding what our favorite animal was when we were around 7 or 8, and since she’s older than me and we both loved horses, she picked horses. And since she’s older than me, she told me that I wasn’t allowed to pick horses as my favorite, since she got to pick first. I know, sibling stuff. So I decided to choose deer, since they were close enough to horses to count.
Years later, I love that I had to choose deer, because I have quite the extensive and eclectic collection of deer items. It also means that as the Christmas decor starts coming out (like yesterday), that I can find even more unique additions for my collection. For a time I also collected Barbies (since I never got an actual Barbie as a kid, my sister got Barbie, I got any of her friends, and my younger sister got the little sister Kelly – something about my mom keeping us ‘individual’ and not getting us all the same thing.) But I stopped collecting Barbie when my collection reached 400. Every once-in-a-while I’ll get a new Barbie if she’s unique and different, or make a custom one for fun or for someone else, but for the most part Barbie has been abandoned.
I also collected for a time Coca Cola stuff – but decided that since I’m a packrat and have way too much ‘stuff’, that I’d limit any additional collectible items to be deer, just so that I don’t get overrun with too much stuff. (Of course that ship has already sailed – I really need to start purging and paring down on the ‘stuff’ and reform my packrat ways. Yeah, I wasn’t able to keep a straight face while typing that last sentence.) Princess Nagger has quite the collection of dinosaurs going – and she’s inherited my packrat genes. Poor thing. And poor future husband for her.
How about you? Do you collect anything other than dust bunnies?

I used to be into Elephants and every present I ever got was an elephant or clothing with elephants on it. I finally got everyone to stop that. Now my latest collection is green glass items, but I have had to limit myself.
I most never ending collection is coffee cups, I don’t even know why I can’t stop myself from buying them. At one time I had 62 coffee cups for just two people. I gave all but 10 away and started over. LOL!
Thank you for visiting my blog 🙂
I collect postcards! Love them. Specially map and flag postcards.
If anybody wants to help me with my collection, let me know 🙂 MadeInCanarias would like you to read ..Aloha Friday 40
Both my husband and I like animals and have quite the stuffed animal collection. We have some in EVERY room of our house!
When I was little, I used to collect Horse figures. Couple decades ago it was enamelware…I kept a few pieces to cook with. Now its Hawaiian music CD’s! 🙂 East Coast Tropics would like you to read ..Xtreme Descent 2010
I collect snowmen and Christmas tree ornaments. I find that the tree ornaments make me not so a packrat. And I have slowed down on the snowman. Now I like folk give me snowmen gifts. Auntie E would like you to read ..Aloha Friday-Fundraisers Fallen In Place
I definitely have the dust bunny thing down well 😉 When I was little I used to collect buttons/pins from places that I went to visit. I have quite the collection and have tried to keep it up, but places do not always have them to purchase now. TheAngelForever would like you to read ..Introducing KidsFunPlaza
It seems like I collect craft materials (because I sure have quite the collection but rarely get around to using them)…..no, no real collection. Sarah would like you to read ..Blogging Support Group
I also seem to collect a never ending supply of craft materials – yet I still keep making a weekly trip to Hobby Lobby!

Books, I collect book by my favorite authors. As for other collections, my father-in-law collects enough for all of us. I would collect cat stuff but right now I only get what other people get me–and it’s not a lot of stuff.
