Other Than Chickens, What Do You collect?

[Backroadlogic]

I LOVE those chicken candy dishes!!

They have tiny versions for salt and they also have a Rooster candy dish that's cute. They have ducks on nests, cats, sheep, etc a few different companies make them, I prefer Westmoreland by a mile

Now I need more Hoya's. Currently have 4/5 types (2 have managed to get cuttings going from since the daughter told me to start them in water, and once the roots are reasonable, slowly add soil) 4 are definate Hoya's the other, I was told by the seller was a Hoya, but while it climbs like one, the flowers are nothing like the standard Hoya type. It roots in soil from cuttings with about 50% success.

I have 2 different hoya australis, a few different obovata vines going, krimson queen, Hindu rope, and a krinkle 8. I'm fascinated with cacti for now and hyperfixated lol

I like to collect those silly smashed pennies.

I have a few from my childhood, which started my kids on them. Those little machines are getting harder and harder to find!

Daughter was a big Cacti fan as a teen, took a trailor to move her plants to the city when she moved for Uni.
Graduated as a Environmental Plant Biologist - now lives and works in Qld - can't take plants across state borders in Aust - (that is why we have less biohazard problems than any other country) so I and her brother inherited her cacti split across the 2 places (won;t mention that half died)
Now she collects orchids and endangered native plants - as a Licenced Environmental scientist she can have things Joe Average can not - she also has a hive of native bees living on her 4th floor balcony.

Literally only a handful of cacti are prohibited here in the states and I have most of them lol my wife is native American so we can have them.I just got 2 trichocereus seedlings from Australia, from a line that was imported to Australia 40 years ago and selectively breed, I'm excited to see how they turn out.

I collect a lot of plant related stuff, I have about 15 (give or take) plant books, a bunch of plants that were on sale, a couple that I grew from grocery store seeds, and one I bought full price from Kroger (but it was 20 dollars so not bad for a Thai constellation). Specifically though, I have so many philodendrons (like 7 but I'm a teenager so I haven't really had much time to collect stuff) and that's what surprises me the most since I started out really hating them, and now they're my favorite, even more than my pothos! I'm hoping to start collecting the Mărțișor (a pin for a Romanian holiday) I get from this March and future ones, but I lose mine every year so I'll see!

I also have a small collection of breyers, though most of mine are customized

I made a saddle for one of my models

Plants, oil lamps, antique or vintage quilts, vintage Corningware and most other vintage or antique kitchen stuff, vintage and antique fabrics, cast iron- you guessed it- vintage or antique... It's an addiction, really, lol.

Collecting. It's not a hobby, it's a DISEASE!

Yes!! Someone once asked me why I needed so many oil lamps. Then we had a tornado touch down nearby, and we lost power for about 15 hours. And come dark, you could have landed a plane by the light of our house! That's why, haters!
