@p_im_b Science fiction books, anything monarch butterflies, colored glass vases, animal-themed mugs, dichroic glass barrettes and pendants, natural history books.

@p_im_b Mugs from everywhere such as these filled with pens markers after they are too chipped to use for drinking

@p_im_b journals. I have about 150 of them.

@p_im_b Totally fortuitous. Left a bag of dark chocolate chips in the sun and it mostly melted so I popped it in the frig to solidify it.

@p_im_b My bro-in-law collects calculating devices (he's actually a rocket scientist!) so we gave him a rubber glove casting to symbolize counting on your fingers.

@p_im_b 20 years or so. It doesn't help that I work somewhere that sells them.

@p_im_b it does. I will only buy them if they are on clearance. Otherwise it's expensive lol

@p_im_b

I have lots of books. I also have lots of candle holders, Egyptian deity statues, stained and colored glass to hang in windows, petrified wood, foreign coins.

For a few things. I try not to be too cluttered.

@p_im_b I used to be like that — any time I get interested in anything, I start collecting and couldn’t stop. I was obsessive about it. I had book collections, comics, movies, newspaper clippings etc. That was when I had lived in the same country for 24 years or so 😛

Then I started moving around and my aim was to always have not more than what would fit into two suitcases. That didn’t quite work out many times but I still try to do that … These days I only collect stuff digitally so that I can have it all on one hard disk. So I still collect books, comics, movies, and mucis but they are all on one hard drive and I feel less burdened somehow 🙂
