    Slinky.

    They're fantastic, especially the white footed one. I've now got the taste to get myself a couple more. :D

    Can't say I ever have Pro. I just 'find' 'em!:rolleyes: I never pass by an old shed or barn and working on the building sites they often turn up. Afraid I have to admit to being a Magpie!...:D The whole collection just has to go,so if anyone knows any body looking to add to their collection,let me know folks....I've already sold the Milk bottle section.:thumb:

    Some great collections :)

    I collect all sorts of things - being an artist as my excuse :D

    My main things are old school computers and projectors/slide viewers. Most of them are still tucked away under my studio desks from when we moved last year *blush*

    Oh I also collect cat toys, although they aren't strictly mine!

    I used to live in Kenya and we had a few African masks hanging on the wall. There was one in particular that used to give me nightmares until my Dad took it down. silly really but I was only 7 or 8 and easily scared.:)

    just been having a read thru this thread and it's got me thinking about what I actually do collect.

    I have an MX-5 Eunos and would love another one so I can say I'm thinking of collecting Mazdas.

    I guess I collect plants since I love gardening and much as I whinge aobut my knees and back, I soon forget and get back out there.

    I guess I like my cookery books and my gardening books. I love cooking and have a tendency to collect things for the kitchen.

    My husband collects chickens and needs no encouragement to buy yet antoher one that I have to dust.

    We seem to be inadvertantly collecting salt and pepper pots.

    I don't like clutter and I don't like things that are dust traps, so I guess I can never say I have a great collections of aold photos or some very good antigues etc....
    He-who-thinks-he-is-being-obeyed thinks that if he were to sit still for too long, I'd surely dust him down and put him away somewhere nice and tidy.:)

    Mainly, I'd like to be collecting a couple more MX-5. They are my grin-factor 10 cars and I'd love to have more then 1.:D

    I would LOVE to see what this mask would have looked like Init! Can you remember it well enough to describe it?

    I don't know why, but it really tickled me to hear your hub collects chickens! Have you got any photos of them?

    I love my cook books too! I compulsively can't leave good ones alone in charity shops! I'm also collecting birds and wildlife books at the mo too. I have most of what Rick Stein has done on fish and love fish and read fish recipes....but never seem to COOK any of the dratted things! Getting too costly to buy......:(

    You could always collect the entire Mazda range....in Matchbox form!

    Well, having read all the collections listed so far collecting stamps seems quite boring.

    Most of mine are in boxes at the moment as with my two girls and the garden, I don't seem to have any spare time to sort them properly. I mainly collect pre-decimal stamps and any stamps on a rugby theme.

    I'll try and post some of my best finds (if I ever get round to sorting them). ;)
