What do you collect?

My umbrella stand is a Dogwood one, Alan. I don't know much about Roseville at all but I often look for the Dogwood pattern because I thought it would be nice to get a few more pieces.

Boehm porcelain birds a long time ago. But they are out of my price range now.

Fabric for my quilts. But I am working my way through my stash.

I finally stopped collecting much of anything due to having no space for anything else. In fact, we are de-collecting stuff like GIJoe action figures, stuffed teddy collection, book sets, etc. Sometime this year, we are taking our vintage Fiesta collection to auction.

However, even though I don't have a Christmas tree, I cannot stop making and keeping Xmas ornaments.

Dogwood is a nice pattern Barbiegirl. Did you know there are two variations, Dogwood 1 is smooth and Dogwood 2 is textured. Both patterns were introduced in the 1920's.

I like them all but my wife prefers the Dahlrose and Morning Glory patterns.

I love your pictures, Alan. Those shelves are every bit as beautiful as the displayed items! I do have a lovely Roseville planter that a friend gave to me.
My collections are pretty much in the past tense: rocks, shells, spoons. Not actively collecting more, but I still have the collections. When I was a kid, I loved nothing better than breaking rocks open with my pickaxe to see what they looked like inside. I also have some miscellaneous collectibles: photos, gloves, evening bags, books, etc. I do hold onto things that I think have aesthetic or sentimental beauty, and I have no regrets about that.
Currently trying to just collect fond memories and dollars in our savings account. Oh, and the occasional painting. I took some pics that I'll upload soon.

No, I didn't know that, Alan. Thanks for sharing. I guess I have the textured, since the dogwoods pattern on the stand is textured.

Your collection is wonderful! I collect, but my display leaves a little to be desired!

I have a few evening bags from the Downton Abbey era myself. I have used them too at different times.

I collect My Little Ponies and Monster High dolls. And I've got quite a few of the Harry Potter Lego sets, as well as various other Lego sets. And things that I don't really consider a collection but which I have way more than enough of are books and craft supplies.

I used to collect everything that stuck my fancy. After 26 moves it all has weight, so nothing anymore. Ok dogs I seem to say no more, but two more joined the pack last year.
