(& check out this super cute LMS illustration!)
This picture inspired me to restart the pencil collection I had as a child (i also collected large gumballs but i'll let that one remain in the past ;)
Here's what I have so far...
I love those Dixon yellow pencils, my teachers always used them & they write so nice! I love little collections that are usable :) What do you like collecting?
Well..I collect pens..but it's actually not a real collection because I keep losing them all the time :D That's why I always carry at least 3 regular pens and a couple of coloured ones in my bag :D
ReplyDeletegreat collection!
ReplyDeleteI collect the Starbucks City Mugs. My favorite is probably Cyprese.

I had a pretty extensive eraser collection when I was a wee one! :D
ReplyDeletei collect fortune cookie inserts, wheatie pennies, old coins and foreign coins and feathers. i work as a bookkeeper during the day so i come across some crazy coins. got one from singapore the other day and i own a penny that dates back over 110 years ago (pre- great depression and pre- world wars one and two)! makes me wonder who's hand it passed through and what they spent it on. :D yay for collections!

i love collecting pens and vinyl toys.. :D
ReplyDeleteWow, i think a better question would be what do I NOT collect? I am a collector at heart...panda figurines, stamps, rocks, seashells, jewelry, nail polish. and that's just to name a few. I always find something that I would like to start a collection of, if I had the space.
ReplyDeleteI also used to collect tin lunch boxes! If anyone knows someone looking to start a collecting, I'm looking for a good home for them!
ReplyDeleteThe larger things that I collect are necklaces, cookbooks, foreign currency and lanterns. I also really like collecting buttons, kitchen gadgets and MAC eyeshadows.
I love collecting stationary (so many cute Sanrio ones), erasers (cute Sanrio, again..), & pens.
ReplyDeleteI love those ticonderoga pencils!!!! I used to steal them from my teachers lol lol (bag girl... I know). :)
ReplyDeletei collect dried out pens. i want to have a wall of them! So when i find a dry one i glue it on cardboard.
ReplyDeleteI also collect way too many things! Postcards are one of my favorite. Every plcae we go I get some and write about our trip, and when my friends go on trips they always send us one:) They are so special and I treasure them.

I have a fun collection of cartoony character spoons...which my kiddos are always using! Some I had as a kid...and others have been added as I stumble across them at flea markets or online.
